• A week of symfony

Symfony is living a plugin frenzy since the launch of the new plugins section of the website. Lots of new plugins are created every week and dozens of fixes and improvements are made to the existing plugins. Moreover, the plugins section itself is continually improved with new features demanded by symfony users.
