A Week of Symfony #1036 (November 2–8, 2026) (Symfony Blog)

November 8, 2026 • Published by Javier Eguiluz
This week, Symfony 5.4.56, 6.4.50, 7.4.23, and 8.1.11 maintenance versions were released with many security fixes for components such as Routing, Serializer, Config, and HtmlSanitizer. We also published the first beta of Symfony 8.2 so you can test it before its final release, along with Symfony UX 3.7. Meanwhile, we kept publishing articles about Symfony 8.2 features, such as validated and compiled expressions, polymorphic form collections, firewalls and routes, and the HTTP recorder. Finally, we announced more talks for SymfonyCon Warsaw 2026.
This week, 346 pull requests were merged (248 in code, 25 in docs, 58 in UX and 15 in AI) and 78 issues were closed (34 in code, 8 in docs, 31 in UX and 5 in AI). Excluding merges, 71 authors made additions and deletions. See details for code, docs, UX and AI.
