This week, Symfony released the maintenance versions 6.4.27 and 7.3.5. In addition, we published 7.4.0-BETA1 and 8.0.0-BETA1 so you can test them before their final release in four weeks. Meanwhile, we shared a new case study about Symfony and more details about SymfonyCon Amsterdam 2025, which starts in less than 30 days.
