A week of symfony
5

This is the last weekly summary of 2007, an incredible year for symfony. Next year will be even better with the release of new versions of symfony, hundreds of new plugins and thousands of new websites built with our favorite framework.

Thanks for being there and for supporting symfony during this year.
