changed version from 2.3.0 --> 2.3.7

[luebbert42]

just for convenience (i.e. people not reading the text carefully but copying the example and starting with an "old" Symfony version by accident)

[weaverryan]

I agree completely - a lot of people just copy and paste. But, this would require us to change this on each minor release, which is not something we want to maintain. I would love for there to be some syntax we could use like ~2.3.0, which would grab the latest 2.3.* version, but I don't believe anything exists.

I'm going to leave this open, because I think it deserves conversation and perhaps we can find a nice solution.

Thanks!

Hi, that is interesting one and I don't think either composer supports a 2.3.* syntax with create-project. I've opened an issue ticket here:
composer/composer#2470

works ;)

I see, thanks for the info. 2.3.* works indeed. I was using old version of composer. 👍

[weaverryan]

Ha, awesome - I didn't know the wildcard worked either :).

I've patched this commit into the 2.3 branch at sha: 2812e68 and then updated to use the wildcard at sha: e15226e

Thanks everyone!

It must be a new feature, as it didn't work 6 months ago #2688 (comment)

[weaverryan]

It didn't work when I tried it - I had to selfupdate - looks like it's brand new :).

composer/composer#2431

And it's funny, because the PR references this exact spot as the motivation 🆒
