Tomas Vortuba has a new post on his site sharing information about one of the improvements that has been added to the Symplify, specifically in the PackageBuilder.

PackageBuilder was always sort of meta package with all the cool and shiny features anyone can use. After all, it's the most downloaded Symplify package hitting almost 1000 downloads a day.

In Symplify 5 now it allows you to drop manual binds from Symfony configs, separate files from directories in one method and merge nested YAML parameters with 1 service.

He lists out the three notable changes:

1. Drop Manual Binds in Symfony configs
2. Separate Files from Directories
3. Merge Parameters without Leaving Any Behind

For each item in the list, he provides a link to the pull request that implemented it, a basic summary of the changes and code examples of what it enables.

In a new post to his site Tomas Votruba covers a recent release of the "symplify/package-builder" package for Symfony, detailing each of the updates and including examples of the change in action.

Symplify 4 was released and with it also one package, that contains all the Symfony tweaks that Symplify packages use.

Throwable render? Test services without public violation? Load parameters with glob? We got you covered!

The four new features are:

• Console-Like -vvv-Aware Renders for Exceptions and Errors
• Drop Manual public: true for Every Service You Test
• Autowire Singly-Implemented Interfaces
• How to Decouple Parameters to multiple files in Safe Way

Each section also comes with some explanation of the change, the code related to it and configuration changes if they're required. You can find out more about the package on its GitHub repository.
