Half changelog, half post-mortem, all PHP.
Last week, UX CSS had no cva(). Now it has one, a component's caller can override its classes, css() skips the escaper when it can, and a benchmark app compares it with twig-tailwind-extra. All of it lands in Symfony UX 3.8.
UX CSS gives the same class names and CSS as Panda CSS, without Node.js. Here is how: Panda's own test suite as the spec, and Twig doing the work when templates compile.
This page is a static file, rendered by Symfony at build time. The code behind it is now a bundle: StaticSiteBundle v0.1.
Behind the scenes of fixing a wave of Symfony UX vulnerabilities: the private security repo, issue triage, the CVE request, and the release. Plus what two months in the trenches taught me.
