A Week of Symfony #864 (17-23 July 2023)

This week, the upcoming Symfony 6.4 continued deprecating features that will be removed in Symfony 7.0, like the doctrine/annotations integration. Meanwhile, we published an article to explain how to prepare for Symfony 6.4 and 7.0 releases and we announced a new talk for the SymfonyLive Berlin 2023 conference (October 5-6).
