A week of symfony #509 (26 September - 2 October 2016)

This week, Symfony development activity focused on performance. First, the FrameworkBundle made a lot of dependencies optional: Asset, Translation, Templating, Security Core, Doctrine annotations, etc. In addition, Twig extensions were refactored to separate their definition from their implementation. Lastly, this week the Symfony project reached the 500 million downloads milestone.
