Symfony Station Communiqué — 9 September 2022. A look at Symfony, PHP, and Cybersecurity News!

This communiqué originally appeared on Symfony Station, your source for cutting-edge Symfony and PHP news.

Welcome to this week's Symfony Station Communiqué. It's your review of the essential news in the Symfony and PHP development communities. We also cover the cybersecurity world in detail. Symfony was a prolific publisher this week. And we always like to see that.

Take your time and enjoy the items most relevant and valuable to you.

As always, thanks to Javier Eguiluz and Symfony for sharing our last communiqué in their Week of Symfony.

My opinions will be in bold.


Many of the items we curate are on Medium. I recommend investing in membership as you can access everything you want to read. It’s a small investment in boosting your career. As you may have noticed, non-members can only access a limited number of articles per month.

Symfony

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

Highlight -> “This week, development activity mainly focused on fixing bugs and polishing existing features. The upcoming Symfony 6.2 version improved lazy services by generating lazy-loading virtual proxies for non-ghostable lazy services. Lastly, we published an article about revisiting lazy-loading proxies in PHP to explain the latest Symfony changes around lazy-loading objects.“
