Symfony blog posts for September 2019

This week, Symfony worked on several pending features in preparation for the "feature freeze" period which starts next week: stateful firewalls now turn responses private only when needed, isGranted()/decide() no longer accept more than one role/attribute, the files generated by the profiler are now compressed and firewalls added a new anonymous lazy mode. Lastly, the new String component was finally merged to provide object-oriented strings management with an abstract unit system.
