This week, the upcoming Symfony 6.1 version deprecated the $defaultName property in Console commands and added a new cache:pool:invalidate-tags command to ease the management of cache pools. Meanwhile, we discussed about bumping PHP to 8.1 in Symfony 6.1. Lastly, we announced the first speakers of SymfonyLive Paris 2022 and the Call for Papers for the international Symfony conferences.
