A Week of Symfony #858 (5-11 June 2023)

This week, we started working on the upcoming Symfony 6.4 and 7.0 releases. In Symfony 6.4 we added a feature in Scheduler to allow setting the timezone for the next run derived from a cron expression and added a max_retries config option to HttpClient. In Symfony 7.0 we removed some unneeded code in Uid and dropped support for Doctrine DBAL 2.x. Lastly, next week we'll celebrate the SymfonyOnline June 2023 conference.
