+  Featuring improvements in handling transactions and collection performance.
+- [DoctrinePHPCRBundle 1.2](https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrinePHPCRBundle):

+  shell](https://github.com/phpcr/phpcr-shell) as detailed in this [blog
+  post](http://www.dantleech.com/post/2014/10/30/phpcr-shell-and-doctrinephpcrbundle-integration)

+### Developments
+
+- The [Jackalope FS](https://github.com/jackalope/jackalope-fs) is now an

+  of feature parity with doctrine dbal, passing 90% of the
+  [phpcr-api-tests](https://github.com/phpcr/phpcr-api-tests).
+- [@danrot90](https://github.com/danrot) has confirmed that he will be implementing
+  versioning on the [Jackalope Doctrine-Dbal](https://github.com/jackalope/jackalope-doctrine-dbal)
+  PHPCR implementation as part of his thesis.
+- A refactoring of Propel2 opens up the possiblity of PHPCR support: https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2/pull/795
