Keynote
summary
Symfony 4 reframes Symfony projects around symfony/flex (a Composer plugin) and recipes that auto-install, configure and uninstall packages, replacing the old Standard Edition with a tiny skeleton (about 21 dependencies) and using packs/aliases for sensible defaults. The talk explains automatic wiring and auto-configuration so controllers and commands work as services by default, and demos tools like composer create-project, symfony/flex, the maker bundle, recipes, website-skeleton, and a security one-time 3-year funding option.
