This week, Symfony 5.4.26 maintenance version was released. Meanwhile, we deprecated annotations in favor of attributes in Serializer, in Validator and in Routing. We also worked on adding types to private and internal properties in Symfony 6.4 and to public and protected properties in Symfony 7.0.
