Symfony2 frantic development activity included this week some massive commits such as adding support for merging security configurations, implementing single-pass config loading with intelligent merging and moving common configuration classes to a new Config component. In addition, the new AsseticBundle was integrated in Symfony2, allowing a much more powerful and flexible way to handle web assets. Lastly, 1.3.9 and 1.4.9 maintenance versions were released.

Every week of symfony posts for a long time have a missing </a> closing tag for "New plugins" header.

It breaks every rss feed reader rendering I tried.

@Ymage, thanks for your notice. I'm afraid that wasn't the only markup error. I hope they are all fixed now :)
