If you are developing an e-commerce solution based on Symfony2, you might want to validate a credit card number before sending it to your payment gateway. Doing so is very simple in Symfony 2.2 thanks to the Luhn algorithm and its implementation as a validator:

// src/Acme/SubscriptionBundle/Entity/Transaction.php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Transaction
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Luhn(message = "Please check your credit card number.")
     */
    protected $cardNumber;
}

You can also check the card scheme thanks to Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\CardSchemeValidator.

BTW, it would be nice to notify translators to provide translation for this new message in as many languages as possible.

It's not a Luhn validator, This validator is a number check, php implementation of Luhn algorithm can be found here http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Luhn_test_of_credit_card_numbers#PHP

Wow, I'm loving these 'New in SF2' articles - nice way to communicate the changes without me looking for new features in change logs etc.
