The Form and Validator components are one of the largest Symfony components. In Symfony 2.7 we improved them by adding new features and deprecating some existing features.

The DependencyInjection component allows you to standardize and centralize the way objects are constructed in your PHP applications. This component is used to create the service container, which is the biggest contributor to the extensibility of the Symfony framework. Symfony 2.7 improves this component with new features but it also removes some of its current features.

The Choice Form Type is one of the most advanced form types defined by Symfony. In Symfony 2.7 this form type has been completely refactored to support dynamic generation for labels, values, indexes and attributes.

Symfony 2.7 includes countless code tweaks and improvements. A lot of them are minor changes that will increase your day-to-day productivity. In this article we introduce seven of those small but nice features.

Today we're glad to officially introduce the Symfony Demo application, a fully-functional Symfony application developed as a learning resource.

This week, Symfony continued polishing the upcoming 2.7 version release with some bug fixes and minor tweaks. Meanwhile, we continued publishing articles about the great new features of Symfony 2.7: improved serializer, a new Twig profiler, minor security improvements and the new Asset component. Lastly, the SymfonyCon Paris 2015 conference announced its definitive venue and dates (3-5 December).

Symfony 2.7 introduces a new component called Asset which manages URL generation and versioning of web assets such as CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files and image files.

In addition to high impact changes and big features, the new Symfony versions always add tweaks and minor improvements across its codebase. In this article you'll learn about three small security-related changes that will improve your day-to-day productivity as developer.
