A week of symfony #500 (25-31 July 2016)

This week Symfony released 2.7.16, 2.8.9, 3.0.9 and 3.1.3 maintenance versions. Meanwhile, HttpCache lock files were improved by using flock(), a new cache warmer for annotations was enabled and the "add classes to compile" feature was improved to support patterns and annotated classes.

This week also marks a very important milestone for us: the 500th issue of the weekly "A week of Symfony" article. Many thanks to all of you who read us every week.
