Symfony Blog

This week, we published the second beta of Symfony 8.2 so you can keep testing it before its final release. Meanwhile, we kept publishing articles about Symfony 8.2 features, such as Messenger flows, AssetMapper improvements, form improvements, validator improvements, and link sets and link templates. In addition, around 50 teams joined the Symfony AI & MCP Hackathon, and we announced that SymfonyLive Paris 2027 will take place at Espace 42 on March 26 and 27. Finally, we announced more talks for SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026.

Symfony 8.2 extends the WebLink component with the Link-Template header to send links based on URI templates and with link sets to publish links as standalone documents.
