This week, the upcoming Symfony 8.1 development activity focused on controllers and attributes. In attributes, we added features like support for "this" variable in IsGranted attribute and support of expressions in MapRequestPayload validation groups. Controllers added features to expose controller metadata throughout the request lifecycle, dispatch events named after controller attributes, and new methods to evaluate expressions or closures in controller attributes.

This week, development activity focused on adding new features to the upcoming Symfony 8.1 version. Meanwhile, we published 5.4.51, 6.4.33, 7.3.11, 7.4.5, and 8.0.5 versions to address a potential security vulnerability. Finally, we published an article about hardening Symfony with recent security improvements.
