Inspired by a tweet from Wouter, i wanted to configure my setup to open stacktrace links directly in PhpStorm. Turned out there was more involved than i thought at first. Documentation is sparse and confusing, so i want to record the steps i needed here. Basically you need to configure xdebug.file_link_format and make your system handle a new protocol. Its less complicated than it sounds:

During the SymfonyCon in Warsaw, Poland, there was also the first Symfony award ceremony. I was deemed worthy to get the community award for the "Best Bundle of the year". It is a great thing to hear that other people appreciate what you do, so this makes me really happy.

Whats more, the Symfony Content Management Framework also got an award for being the best Symfony Open-Source application of 2013.

Congratulations to all the award winners! And thanks to all the others who do great efforts on Symfony that did not get an award this time - keep it going!
