Such a nice release, I couldn't wait anymore for the cache tags ! Thanks !
Many nice improvements, thank you for this great release.
That's a bit off topic, but could the Symfony README.md file be improved, with the Symfony logo, list of main features / components? It would make the project somewhat more attractive on Github :)
Can't wait to upgrade my projects!
Hello, "symfony new my_project" install Symfony 3.1.* and "symfony new my_project 3.2" tell me " WARNING You are downloading an unstable Symfony version" !

I'm experiencing
Key "type_class" for array with keys "id, name, view_vars, children" does not exist in @WebProfiler\Collector\form.html.twig at line 460.

@Dennis @Jakub the error has been reported in https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/20823 and it's already been fixed. It'll be available in the next 3.2.1 release.
