This week Symfony showed a very strong development activity. Lots of bugs were fixed and some reported regressions were addressed. Meanwhile, the Console component helpers started using stderr to output its contents and tables displayed in commands now allow to set column widths explicitly. In addition, the DateTime Validator constraint added a "format" option to validate date/times using custom formats and the Symfony Profiler started showing security voters information in the security panel.
