Sulu Release 2.2.17 & 2.3.7 & 2.4.0-RC1
We published two new patch releases for Sulu today, Sulu 2.2.17 and Sulu 2.3.7. Additionally, I am very happy to announce that we released the first release candidate for Sulu 2.4!
Sulu 2.2.17 & 2.3.7
Unfortunately, the newly released FOSRestBundle 3.1.0 broke the serialization of our Error Messages. The new releases fix this issue and make Sulu compatible with the FOSRestBundle 3.1.0. Additionally, Sulu 2.2.17 & 2.3.7 bring compatibility with the new JMS/Serializer-Bundle 4.0. If you are upgrading the package, make sure to check the jms serializer-bundle upgrade guide.
Beside of dependency updates and compatibility fixes, the new releases also contain some minor bugfixes and improvements - you can have a look at the release notes on GitHub to find a list of all changes.
Community Contributions
The new releases also contain multiple contributions from our community! We want to thank ymc-sise who did fixed an issue with the CategoryTranslation relation that could cause problems when removing a single translation. Also, we want to thank scarcloud who fixed an issue that appeared when using the doctrine attributes feature of PHP 8. Finally, we want to thank ampaze and mamazu for updating the typehints inside of multiple classes to allow for decorating the respective services.
