This week, the upcoming Symfony 5.1 version added MongoDB support for the Lock component, exception pages enabled the "dark theme" and the MicroKernelTrait was improved to make it easier to use and configure.

In addition to working on big new features, Symfony maintainers spend a lot of time working on invisible features that developers take for granted. This article shed light on some of these recent features.

In Symfony 4.4, we've improved the Profiler to display the details of the Mailer and HttpClient components, we've improved the Ajax requests panel and we've decreased the disk space needed to store each profile.

In Symfony 4.4, forms allow to disable validation per submit button, support alpha-3 codes for countries, improved the way preferred choices are displayed and simplified functional tests a bit.

In Symfony 4.4, the new ErrorHandler component replaces the Debug component to remove the Twig dependency and make Symfony exceptions compliant with modern standards.

This week, development activity focused on fixing the bugs reported for the recent Symfony 4.4 and 5.0 versions. We also improved the Slugger to make it more portable and added support for autowiring PHP 7.4 typed properties. Lastly, the videos of SymfonyCon 2019 Amsterdam conference were published.

The Symfony community met two weeks ago in Amsterdam, Netherlands, for the international Symfony conference from November 19th to 23rd in the great Beurs Van Berlage monument. We were super pleased to welcome more than 1300 people, more than 30 speakers and our amazing sponsors. This yearly gathering took place several days ago in the wonderful city of Amsterdam, where we could already feel the magic atmosphere of Christmas. Meeting the PHP Community was like a big family reunion at holiday season. We were so happy to see you all and hope you had a great time there with us!

In Symfony 4.4, commands should start returning their exit status, the trimming of QuestionHelper answers is configurable and the NO_COLOR env var is supported.

Symfony 4.4 generates a preloading file for your application so you can get a big performance boost when using PHP 7.4.
