Symfony 2.7.0 released

Symfony 2.7.0 has just been released. 2.7 is the new LTS version of Symfony.

Symfony 2.7.0 comes with more than 100 new features and enhancements.

Read the UPGRADE from 2.6 to 2.7 guide to learn more about new ways of doing things and deprecated features that will be removed in 3.0.

Yesterday, I told you that 2.7 comes with an unexpected surprise... Symfony has now early built-in support for PSR-7. And that works as of Symfony 2.3, without breaking backward compatibility. Hurray for everyone involved in this effort! As this is something important, Ryan wrote a dedicated blog post about it.
