In Symfony 3.1, the Web Debug Toolbar and the Profiler have introduced lots of new features. The major new features will be explained in upcoming blog posts, so in this article we'll focus on smaller but useful changes that will improve your day-to-day work.

The Process component of Symfony 3.1 has added new features to simplify process output streaming and to allow streaming the input provided to processes.

In Symfony 3.1, the Table helper of the Console component lets you define the width of any or all the table columns to have a better control of the table design.

In Symfony 3.1, the Image validation constraint defines a new configuration option to detect images which are corrupted.

Symfony project follows a time-based development process where two new minor versions are released each year. The next minor version is 3.1 which will be released at the end of May. This means that 3.1 has entered "feature freeze" and we won't add any other new feature to it.

This week, the upcoming Symfony 3.1 version entered into its "feature freeze" period. No new features will be added to 3.1, so we'll focus on making the code ready to be released at the end of May 2016. These are some of the latest cool features added to 3.1: added InputStream to seamlessly feed running processes, improved the web debug toolbar and profiler to display forwards and redirects, added a new strict image validator and extracted some shared code into a new Inflector component.
