A Week of Symfony #741 (8-14 March 2021)

This week, Symfony 5.2.5 maintenance version was released, using a new release technique that no longer creates tags for packages that don't include changes. Meanwhile, the upcoming Symfony 5.3 version improved the performance of the Cache component and introduced a new Runtime component to decouple applications from global state.
