This week, development activity for the upcoming Symfony 8.2 release was very intense: PropertyInfo made accessors and mutators configurable with attributes, HttpFoundation added targeted Cache-Control support conforming to RFC 9213, Console attributes can now use callables for descriptions and help text, Messenger added a concurrency option to process messages in parallel, and Mailer introduced support for rate-limited transports. In addition, we announced the Symfony AI Core Team.
