Symfony News

A week of symfony #483 (28 March - 3 April 2016)

This week, the upcoming Symfony 3.1 version entered into its "feature freeze" period. No new features will be added to 3.1, so we'll focus on making the code ready to be released at the end of May 2016. These are some of the latest cool features added to 3.1: added InputStream to seamlessly feed running processes, improved the web debug toolbar and profiler to display forwards and redirects, added a new strict image validator and extracted some shared code into a new Inflector component.
