Symfony is one of the first major PHP frameworks planning to drop support for 5.2
Symfony 2.0 will leverage PHP 5.3 and drop PHP 5.2 compatibility. Big news - Symfony is one of the first major PHP frameworks to drop support for 5.2, though its not happening for some time.
Both the upcoming Zend Framework and CakePHP 2.0 versions will rely on PHP 5.3. And for Symfony, I said it will still be compatible with PHP 5.2. From my point of view at the time, it would be a mistake to upgrade major frameworks to PHP 5.3 now for one main reason: major frameworks are used by many big companies, and upgrading to the latest version of a software fast in such companies is not always feasible.
Symfony 2.0 is due to be released late 2010. Read some more on the Symfony blog.
