A Week of Symfony #818 (29 August - 4 September 2022)

This week, development activity mainly focused on fixing bugs and polishing existing features. The upcoming Symfony 6.2 version improved lazy services by generating lazy-loading virtual proxies for non-ghostable lazy services. Lastly, we published an article about revisiting lazy-loading proxies in PHP to explain the latest Symfony changes around lazy-loading objects.
