Symfony

As always, we will start with the official news from Symfony.

Highlight -> This week, the upcoming Symfony 7.2 version improved the translation extract command with a new option, added a StringNode to the Config component, and fixed ClockMock and DnsMock support with PHPUnit 10 . In addition, we shared more details about some of the talks from the SymfonyCon Vienna 2024 conference.

Featured Item

Ok you U.S. readers, once again its time to exercise your limited but strongest influence on the world's premiere oligarchic republic.

Please do so by voting for candidates who support democracy and not for those on the side of autocracy. You know which fucking parties I am talking about.

It's your chance to choose between not having the next four years be a disaster or being a complete clusterfuck of a shitshow. Again, you know the candidates I am talking about.

It may be your last chance to vote so do so and don't waste your vote.

Thanks for being a good citizen in this flawed country. That's what can improve it in the future.
