This article originally appeared on Symfony Station, your source for Symfony, PHP, and Cybersecurity 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.
Please take your time and enjoy the items most relevant and valuable to you.
As always, thanks to Javier Eguiluz and Symfony for sharing our earlier 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.

As always, we will start with the official news from Symfony.
Highlight -> “This week, the upcoming Symfony 6.3 version added
lots of new features, such as support for nesting autowiring-related
attributes, allow to use HttpStatus attribute to set status code and
headers for HTTP exceptions, introduce a feature to strip emojis in text
contents and new methods for Clock component. In addition, Symfony
published the Symfony Book updated for Symfony 6.2.“
