The first beta of Symfony 3.0 has just been released. Symfony 3.0 does not have any new features; you can think of Symfony 3.0 as being Symfony 2.8 minus all the deprecation layers added along the years (and the minimum PHP version was bumped to 5.5.9+). Before upgrading to 3.0, be sure that your project does not generate deprecation notices anymore on Symfony 2.8.

Read the UPGRADE from 2.x to 3.0 guide to learn more about Symfony 3.0.

Help us test this new release and help us make Symfony bundles compatible with Symfony 3.0.
