All about Symfony releases, new Symfony features, and other important announcements
This week, Symfony released five new maintenance versions for the branches that have active support: 2.7.39, 2.8.32, 3.3.14, 3.4.1, 4.0.1. In addition, we continued our efforts towards creating a more diverse Symfony community.
The diversity initiative is about growing our community by ensuring a safe environment for under represented groups and empowering them to become productive members of our community.
This week, Symfony 4.0 was released. This is not just a new major Symfony version, it's an entirely re-imagined and simplified developer experience. In addition, Symfony 3.4 was released, which is a long term support version (bugs fixed until November 2020). Lastly, the Symfony diversity initiative got a boost with the appointment of Lukas Kahwe Smith as the leader of this important initiative.
What a groundbreaking success! If you were one of the lucky 800 to attend the annual Symfony conference in the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, you know that the SymfonyCon Cluj marked a special moment for the Symfony community.
The winners of the Symfony 2017 Community Awards were announced during the closing ceremony of the past SymfonyCon Cluj 2017 conference. These awards recognize the accomplishments of different individuals within the Symfony Community.
