Making the Symphony & Drupal partnership stronger
Symphony 3 is the framework that is the biggest dependency of Drupal 8 and is scheduled to be deprecated in November 2021. It is important that Drupal release cycles align with Symphony’s major & minor release cycles. To align with the minor release cycles, Drupal 8’s release cycles are 6 months. The releases are now in June and December allowing to adopt Symphony’s releases in a month time. Drupal 9 is a step to align with end of life of Symphony 3 and will adopt Symphony 5. Symphony 5 will provide for latest Symphony features and longer support line.
Here is a list of the 5 key components of Symphony that we use today in Drupal 8.
-
Routing
-
ClassLoader
-
Console
-
DependencyInjection
-
EventDispatcher
-
YAML
My session will walk through what each of these components stand for & are the new features, enhancements in each of the above from Symphony 3 to Symphony 5.
