UPGRADE FROM 3.x to 4.0
=======================

Debug

 * `FlattenException::getTrace()` now returns additional type descriptions
   `integer` and `float`.

DependencyInjection
-------------------

 * Calling `get()` on a `ContainerBuilder` instance before compiling the
   container is not supported anymore and will throw an exception.

 * Using unsupported configuration keys in YAML configuration files raises an
   exception.

 * Using unsupported options to configure service aliases raises an exception.

 * Setting or unsetting a private service with the `Container::set()` method is
   no longer supported. Only public services can be set or unset.

   method is no longer supported and will return `false`.

 * Requesting a private service with the `Container::get()` method is no longer
   supported.

   `ArrayAccess` in `ResizeFormListener::preSubmit` method has been removed.

 * Using callable strings as choice options in ChoiceType is not supported
   anymore in favor of passing PropertyPath instances.

   Before:

   ```php
   'choice_value' => new PropertyPath('range'),
   'choice_label' => 'strtoupper',
   ```

   After:

   'choice_label' => function ($choice) {
       return strtoupper($choice);
   },
   ```

   anymore and raises an exception.

   Before:

   ```php
   if ($form->isValid()) {
       // ...
   }
   ```

   ```php
   if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
       // ...
   }

   ```php
