Symfony News: A week of symfony #437 (11-17 May 2015)

A week of symfony #437 (11-17 May 2015)

This week Symfony fixed some compatibility issues with PHP7. In addition, the VarDumper component improved its dumping logic: dumps now use the output mechanism of PHP instead of echoing their contents and the output destination is now configurable. Lastly, the upcoming Symfony 3.0 version continued removing lots of deprecated features.
