Symfony 6 is here! Newer & shinier... it smells faintly of coconut! But, exactly what is new? And what's the best path to upgrading?
Symfony 6 builds on top of Symfony 5. So if you love making huge changes like reorganizing all of your files, whelp, I'm sorry to disappoint! But even though Symfony 6 won't require you to do a ton of work to upgrade to it, it does come with some wonderful features to make life easier. Let's upgrade... then try some of those out. We'll cover:
- Upgrading to Symfony 5.4
- The new Flex command for updating recipes 🍾
- Updating all of our recipes
- Converting from "attributes" to "annotations" with Rector
- Finding & Removing deprecations
- Upgrading to Symfony 6
- ... new features!
And we won't even cover all the new features... that would take days! See Symfony.com 5.4/6.0 Features Blog for even more. Ok, let's get to work!
