All about Symfony releases, new Symfony features, and other important announcements
This week, the development activity was low, as usual during the end of the year, and focused on fixing minor issues. In addition, we published the Symfony 2017 Year in Review to recap all that we achieved as a community during the past twelve months.
The end of the year is the best time to review all that we achieved as a community during the past twelve months. These are some of the highlights of the 2017 year for the Symfony Project.
This week, Symfony development activity focused on fixing bugs, mostly related to environment variables edge cases. In addition, Symfony released a tool called Thanks which lets PHP developers give thanks to all their PHP dependencies in the form of a GitHub star.
Give thanks (in the form of a GitHub ⭐) to your fellow PHP package maintainers with the new "thanks" Composer plugin!
This week Symfony released the 3.4.2 and 4.0.2 maintenance versions. Meanwhile, we improved the performance when getting services from the container, added HTML5-like validation for email addresses, and improved the design of tables in console commands. Lastly, the SymfonyLive Paris 2018 conference announced its early bird registration and the call for papers.
The SymfonyLive Paris is the French edition of the SymfonyLive conference and therefore entirely held in French.
The Symfony Demo project, a reference application created to show how to develop Symfony applications following the recommended best practices, has been fully updated to Symfony 4 and Symfony Flex.
