This week, Symfony celebrated the SymfonyOnline June 2025 conference with great success. Meanwhile, development efforts focused on improving invokable commands for the upcoming Symfony 7.4 version. These commands will now support backed enums in arguments and options, allow you to define usages via attributes and be easier to use when using the Console component standalone.
