This week, New York was the capital of the Symfony world thanks to the Symfony Live conference. During his keynote, Fabien introduced the Symfony Best Practices initiative and unveiled the first specific details of Symfony 3.0 version, tentatively scheduled for November 2015. Lastly, the first speakers for the upcoming SymfonyCon conference were announced.

Fabien Potencier, the leader of the Symfony project, introduced today a new initiative called "The Official Symfony Best Practices", a list of 31 techniques and recommendations for professional Symfony development.

The first speakers for SymfonyCon Madrid have been announced!

PHP conferences are a great place to meet with other Symfony developers and make new friends. They are also an exceptional opportunity to become a speaker and deliver talks and workshops about Symfony.

Symfony 2.6 will include a new form theme designed for Bootstrap 3 that it will save you lots of hours of tedious and repetitive work.

This week finished the development phase of Symfony 2.6. In the coming weeks, all the efforts will be directed towards stabilizing the codebase and finishing the documentation for the amazing new features, such as the Ajax requests in the debug toolbar, the Security component improvements and the deprecation of Icu component.

Symfony 2.6 will deprecate the Icu component and it will only use the Intl component. All the internationalization data has been bundled in Intl to avoid the usual problems caused by the PHP intl extension.

Symfony Security component will introduce in Symfony 2.6 version a major refactoring of the security.context service, a new service to simplify password encoding, a new REMOTE_USER based firewall and a new authentication helper.

Symfony 2.6 will include some improvements for the Translation component: adding the target language when dumping XLIFF files, a new method to expose collected messages, a new message catalogue cache and the logging of missing translations.

In Symfony 2.6, the web debug toolbar will include a new panel called AJAX to boost your productivity while debugging applications. This panel shows in real-time the number of AJAX requests performed in the page being displayed.
