A Week of Symfony #641 (8-14 April 2019)

This week, Symfony development activity focused on merging the last new features of the upcoming Symfony 4.3 version (such as a new SodiumPasswordEncoder and support for setting a callback for Console questions) and preparing for the future PHP 7.4 serialization mechanism. In addition, the Symfony Warszawa 2019 conference announced its full schedule and the SymfonyLive São Paulo 2019 conference is coming in less than one month.
