This week, we continued polishing Symfony 4.1 before its stable release in two weeks. Our focus was on the Messenger component, which gained a ChainSender to implement multiple senders and also added support for middleware factories in config. Meanwhile, the work on Symfony 4.2 has already started and we added support for meta refresh in the BrowserKit component. Lastly, the dates for the SymfonyCon 2018 conference in Lisbon (Portugal) were announced for December 6th to 8th.

Symfony now has a code of conduct and a process to deal when issues arise. We are looking for organisations interested in sponsoring diversity initiative ideas. We ask for feedback on how useful Google Translate is on the Symfony documentation. Finally, we are interested in bringing the SymfonyLive format to other countries and are requesting interested local people to contact us.
