A Week of Symfony #941 (6-12 January 2025)
This week, Symfony development activity was very intense. The upcoming Symfony 7.3 version added a Slug constraint, introduced support for union types in OptionsResolver, enabled using HTTP/3 with the CurlHttpClient, and added support for invokable commands and input attributes. In addition, we published a summary of the Symfony project activity in 2024.
