What happened last week in Symfony?
This week, after the successful launch of Symfony 2.3, the development activity focused on the upcoming Symfony 2.4 version. The most important change was the introduction of simpler customization options for the Security component. In addition, Symfony 2.3.1 was released to address some minor bugs.

The app.yml Configuration File
The symfony framework provides a built-in configuration file for application
specific settings, the app.yml configuration file.
This YAML file can contain any setting you want that makes sense for your
specific application. In the code, these settings are available through the
global sfConfig class, and keys are prefixed with the app_ string:
sfConfig::get('app_active_days');
All settings are prefixed by app_ because the sfConfig class also provides
access to symfony settings and
project directories.
As discussed in the introduction, the app.yml file is
environment-aware, and benefits from
the configuration cascade mechanism.
The app.yml configuration file is a great place to define settings that
change based on the environment (an API key for instance), or settings that
can evolve over time (an email address for instance). It is also the best
place to define settings that need to be changed by someone who does not
necessarily understand symfony or PHP (a system administrator for instance).
tip
Refrain from using app.yml to bundle application logic.
note
The app.yml configuration file is cached as a PHP file; the process
is automatically managed by the sfDefineEnvironmentConfigHandler
class.
