A Week of Symfony #839 (23-29 January 2023)

This week, Symfony 5.4.19, 6.0.19, 6.1.11 and 6.2.5 maintenance versions were released. The 6.0 and 6.1 branches will no longer receive any updates, so consider updating your projects to Symfony 6.2. Meanwhile, the upcoming Symfony 6.3 version marked DSNs as sensitive parameters and removed them from exception messages, added support for Redis Relay in cache and updated the VarDumper component to display all invisible characters.
