A week of symfony #515 (7-13 November 2016)

This week, the upcoming Symfony 3.2 version focused on the Workflow component, which added support for State Machines and many other minor tweaks and improvements. Meanwhile, Twig showed a frenetic development activity, adding "is defined" support for blocks and constants, improving the performance of getAttribute() and adding a new 'with' tag.
