symfony

Symfony framework released three maintenance versions in the 5th and 4th branch : 5.2.2, 5.1.11 and 4.4.19 with tons of bug fixes. The 4.4.19 is the LTS version which supports end by November 2022, while this should be the latest release of 5.1 branch which supports end this January 2021. The recommended version is actually the 5.2.2 which support end in six months, July 2021.

Want to upgrade to this new release? Because Symfony protects backwards-compatibility very closely, this should be quite easy. Use SymfonyInsight upgrade reports to detect the code you will need to change in your project and read the upgrade documentation to learn more.
