This week, the upcoming Symfony 5.4 deprecated some helper methods in AbstractController which weren’t strictly related to HTTP. In addition, it deprecated the remaining usages of anonymous users in the Security system. Finally, a new Path class was added to the Filesystem component to ease the handling of file paths.
