This week, Symfony 4.4.46, 5.4.13, 6.0.13 and 6.1.5 maintenance versions were released. Meanwhile, we continued merging new features into the upcoming Symfony 6.2 version: simplified adding MIME parts to email messages, allow creating lazy-loading classes using constructors, redesigned the mailer panel in the Profiler, and added an option to make the YamlEncoder indentation configurable.
