Symfony News

A week of symfony #530 (20-26 February 2017)

This week Symfony continued refactoring tests to make use of the new PHPUnit namespaces. Meanwhile, we added a build() method to the Kernel class to replace the Bundle::build() method. Lastly, we updated the main Symfony README file to add much more useful information.
