### AbstractDoctrineBundle

 * This bundle has been removed and the relevant code has been moved to the Doctrine bridge

### DoctrineBundle

 * This bundle has been moved to the Doctrine organization
 * added optional `group_by` property to `EntityType` that supports either a `PropertyPath` or a `\Closure` that is evaluated on the entity choices
 * The `em` option for the `UniqueEntity` constraint is now optional (and should probably not be used anymore).

### FrameworkBundle

### SecurityBundle

 * [BC BREAK] The custom factories for the firewall configuration are now
   registered during the build method of bundles instead of being registered
   by the end-user (you need to remove the 'factories' keys in your security
   configuration).

 * [BC BREAK] The Firewall listener is now registered after the Router one. It
   means that specific Firewall URLs (like /login_check and /logout must now
   have proper route defined in your routing configuration)

 * [BC BREAK] refactored the user provider configuration. The configuration
   changed for the chain provider and the memory provider:

     Before:

     ``` yaml
     security:
         providers:
             my_chain_provider:
                 providers: [my_memory_provider, my_doctrine_provider]
             my_memory_provider:
                 users:
                     toto: { password: foobar, roles: [ROLE_USER] }
                     foo: { password: bar, roles: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN] }
     ```

     After:

     ``` yaml
     security:
         providers:
             my_chain_provider:
                 chain:
                     providers: [my_memory_provider, my_doctrine_provider]
             my_memory_provider:
                 memory:
                     users:
                         toto: { password: foobar, roles: [ROLE_USER] }
                         foo: { password: bar, roles: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN] }
     ```

 * [BC BREAK] Method `equals` was removed from `UserInterface` to its own new
   `EquatableInterface`, now user class can implement this interface to override
   the default implementation of users equality test.

 * added a validator for the user password
 * added 'erase_credentials' as a configuration key (true by default)
 * added new events: `security.authentication.success` and `security.authentication.failure`
   fired on authentication success/failure, regardless of authentication method,
   events are defined in new event class: `Symfony\Component\Security\Core\AuthenticationEvents`.

### SwiftmailerBundle

 * replaced MessageLogger class with the one from Swiftmailer 4.1.3

### TwigBundle

 * added a routing panel
 * added a timeline panel
 * The toolbar position can now be configured via the `position` option (can be `top` or `bottom`)

 * made the translation catalogue configurable via the "translation_domain" option
 * added Form::getErrorsAsString() to help debugging forms
 * allowed setting different options for RepeatedType fields (like the label)
 * added support for empty form name at root level, this enables rendering forms
   without form name prefix in field names
 * [BC BREAK] form and field names must start with a letter, digit or underscore
   and only contain letters, digits, underscores, hyphens and colons
 * [BC BREAK] changed default name of the prototype in the "collection" type
   from "$$name$$" to "__name__". No dollars are appended/prepended to custom
   names anymore.
 * [BC BREAK] improved ChoiceListInterface
 * [BC BREAK] added SimpleChoiceList and LazyChoiceList as replacement of
   ArrayChoiceList
 * added ChoiceList and ObjectChoiceList to use objects as choices
 * [BC BREAK] removed EntitiesToArrayTransformer and EntityToIdTransformer.
   The former has been replaced by CollectionToArrayTransformer in combination
   with EntityChoiceList, the latter is not required in the core anymore.

 * [BC BREAK] renamed

   * ArrayToBooleanChoicesTransformer to ChoicesToBooleanArrayTransformer
   * ScalarToBooleanChoicesTransformer to ChoiceToBooleanArrayTransformer
   * ArrayToChoicesTransformer to ChoicesToValuesTransformer
   * ScalarToChoiceTransformer to ChoiceToValueTransformer

   to be consistent with the naming in ChoiceListInterface.

 * [BC BREAK] removed FormUtil::toArrayKey() and FormUtil::toArrayKeys().
   They were merged into ChoiceList and have no public equivalent anymore.
 * choice fields now throw a FormException if neither the "choices" nor the
   "choice_list" option is set

 * the collection, choice (with multiple selection) and entity (with multiple
   selection) types now make use of addXxx() and removeXxx() methods in your
   model
 * added options "add_method" and "remove_method" to collection and choice type
 * forms now don't create an empty object anymore if they are completely
   empty and not required. The empty value for such forms is null.

 * [BC BREAK] FormType::getParent() does not see default options anymore

### HttpFoundation

 * added a getTargetUrl method to RedirectResponse
 * added support for streamed responses
 * made Response::prepare() method the place to enforce HTTP specification
 * [BC BREAK] moved management of the locale from the Session class to the Request class
 * added a generic access to the PHP built-in filter mechanism: ParameterBag::filter()
 * made FileBinaryMimeTypeGuesser command configurable
 * added Request::getUser() and Request::getPassword()
 * added support for the PATCH method in Request
 * removed the ContentTypeMimeTypeGuesser class as it is deprecated and never used on PHP 5.3
 * added ResponseHeaderBag::makeDisposition() (implements RFC 6266)
 * made mimetype to extension conversion configurable
 * Flashes are now stored as a bucket of messages per `$type` so there can be multiple messages per type.
   There are four interface constants for type, `FlashBagInterface::INFO`, `FlashBagInterface::NOTICE`,
   `FlashBagInterface::WARNING` and `FlashBagInterface::ERROR`.
 * Added `FlashBag` (default). Flashes expire when retrieved by `popFlashes()`.
   This makes the implementation ESI compatible.
 * Added `AutoExpireFlashBag` to replicate Symfony 2.0.x auto expire behaviour of messages auto expiring
   after one page page load.  Messages must be retrived by `popFlashes()` but will expire regardless of
   being retrieved or not, which retains th old behaviour.
 * [BC BREAK] Removed the following methods from the Session class: `close()`, `setFlash()`, `hasFlash()`,
   and `removeFlash()` and added new methods.  Use `addFlashes()` to add new flash messages.
   `getFlashes()` now returns and array of flash messages.
 * `Session->clear()` now only clears session attributes as before it cleared flash messages and
   attributes. `Session->clearAllFlashes()` clears flashes now.
 * Added `AbstractSessionStorage` base class for session storage drivers.
 * Added `SessionSaveHandler` interface which storage drivers should implement after inheriting from
   `AbstractSessionStorage` when writing custom session save handlers.
 * [BC BREAK] `SessionStorageInterface` methods removed: `write()`, `read()` and `remove()`.  Added
   `getAttributes()`, `getFlashes()`.
 * Moved attribute storage to `AttributeBagInterface`.
 * Added `AttributeBag` to replicate attributes storage behaviour from 2.0.x (default).
 * Added `NamespacedAttributeBag` for namespace session attributes.
 * Session now implements `SessionInterface` making implementation customizable and portable.
 * [BC BREAK] Removed `NativeSessionStorage` and replaced with `NativeFileSessionStorage`.
 * Added session storage drivers for PHP native Memcache, Memcached and SQLite session save handlers.
 * Added session storage drivers for custom Memcache, Memcached and Null session save handlers.
 * Removed `FilesystemSessionStorage`, use `MockFileSessionStorage` for functional testing instead.

### Serializer

 * [BC BREAK] changed `GetSetMethodNormalizer`'s key names from all lowercased to camelCased (e.g. `mypropertyvalue` to `myPropertyValue`)
 * [BC BREAK] convert the `item` XML tag to an array

     ``` xml
     <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <response>
         <item><title><![CDATA[title1]]></title></item><item><title><![CDATA[title2]]></title></item>
     </response>
     ```

     Before:

          Array()

     After:

          Array(
              [item] => Array(
                  [0] => Array(
                      [title] => title1
                  )
                  [1] => Array(
                      [title] => title2
                  )
