I am very new to DOT.net frameworks.
Shouldn't we always update to the latest release?
List Entity framework or identity framework .. all those frameworks ... why do we keep them around? just use the latest ones.
In fact, I am just starting to develop an asp.net website with RestAPIs, login, register, social login...
I wonder what is the best framework version (4.5) to use

From a large company point of view. You can not always technically get the latest version of .NET on your servers that store your applications. For some you have to go through a series of procedures to get everything to the latest so it's not necessarily developers that can trudge through this when you have a separation of duties like developers, system admins, etc. Although it's highly suggested to use the latest and greatest. Every dev/company has their own way of actually getting the most up-to-date versions of pretty much anything.

I am a Embarcadero RAD Studio user. Mainly C++Builder. I have been using this product for more than 20 years.
But I am tired of all the unresolved bugs. I am stuck with bugs I am sure they will never fix unless I pay to upgrade to their new product as usual.
I recently saw some Qt code. And noticed that objects like QString, QVariant, QRectF, etc... are really more powerful compare to RAD Studio's equivalent objects.
Unfortunately, I don't have an available computer to install a trial version and test to see the differences.
I would appreciate if there are some users who have used the 2 development tools and can tell me if Qt really is better?
Does it have less bugs? Better support?
Is it a RAD environment?
Is it easy to build web server applications, like Intraweb applications?
Does it have its own database, like Interbase? If yes, is it possible to find tools to migrate an Interbase database to a Qt database?

One year ago, Microsoft announced the "helios" project (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/02/18/introducing-asp-net-project-helios.aspx). Since then, there has been no updates on it's nuget package and no related news. Is it safe to start using it or is it dead?
ASP.NET users have been using Katana for a long while as it empowers the latest Web API and SignalR releases from Microsoft. Helios was an addition to that map initially.
They (Katana and Helios) will, however, not be heavily updated, as ASP.NET 5 uses a different design approach. Microsoft people said this unofficially in a few places, and should provide a better explanation when ASP.NET 5 is officially released.

Is it possible to mix frameworks?
I want to develop a site using Symfony but have been advised to use Kohana (with Boonex Dolphin) as it is the best for plugging in social networking modules
It is possible to mix Symfony Standard Edition with any other framework. It is not recommended, but it is possible. The most common situations when you need to do this is when you migrate your old code to Symfony and when you want a blogging system to handle the blogging part of your website (like having your website on Symfony and your blog on WordPress).
To achieve that there are many ways. One is to setup in Symfony a route that will work with the legacy code. Another one is to build an adapter over your non-Symfony application (or your Symfony app).

Is it recommended to use DoctrineMigrationsBundle? Or is it recommended to use Doctrine Migrations at all?
If you are looking for a way to sync your database scripts over multiple database etc it is a good tool, but still not perfect so you will need to check the migrations yourself if you want to be sure.
The doctrine/migrations library doens't have a stable release or alpha so it's still pretty much a young piece of software, but we use it to sync our changes on our development/testing and production databases. It makes it easier to have a central place where you keep and manage your database structure changes.
There is a solution for composer so a stable requirement will not prevent you from using doctrine migrations but it's only a temp solution until we get a reaction from the developers
see: doctrine/migrations#120
So all and all i can say it's a decent piece of software but you shouldn't trust it blindly!

I want to make a lite facebook version using symfony 1.4. however i had some issues with symfony and memory in the past so :
is it wise to go with symfony ?
what are the server requirements to run it smoothly (cpu, memory ...) ?
Thanks
About the memory it is more or less a question how you define "lite" ;) There are a ton of successful websites using symfony 1.4 (also big ones like for example delicious.com), so I believe that the question of scalability is more about how mature your knowledge is for performance issues.
What are the alternative approaches you have in mind? Writing your own framework? Then my strong advice is to use an existing one instead (does not have to be sf1.4 though), as most work to start implementing the actual application logic is already done for you.
Did you habe a look at Symfony2? As it is a much more modern framework that is quite stable now (as 2.1 with new forms component will be released soon) I would suggest using it ;)
