Welcome to this week's Symfony Station Communiqué. It's your weekly review of the essential news in the Symfony and PHP development communities. We also cover the cybersecurity world.

Take your time and enjoy the items most relevant and valuable to you.

As always, thanks to Javier Eguiluz and Symfony for sharing [our last communiqué](https://www.symfonystation.com/Symfony-Station-Communique-17-June-2022) in their [Week of Symfony](https://symfony.com/blog/a-week-of-symfony-807-13-19-june-2022). 

**My opinions will be in bold.**
