  • Fix resource inheritance handling
  • Fix BC break in AbstractItemNormalizer introduced in 2.4
  • Fix serialization when using interface as resource
  • Basic compatibility with Symfony 4.3

# 2.4.3

  • Doctrine: don’t use fetchJoinCollection on Paginator when not needed

  • Doctrine: fix a BC break in OrderFilter

  • GraphQL: input objects aren’t nullable anymore (compliance with the Relay spec)

  • Cache: Remove some useless purges

  • Metadata: the HTTP method is now always uppercased

  • Allow to disable listeners per operation (fix handling of empty request content)

    Previously, empty request content was allowed for any POST and PUT operations. This was an unsafe assumption which caused other problems.

    If you wish to allow empty request content, please add "deserialize"=false to the operation’s attributes. For example:

    <?php
    // api/src/Entity/Book.php
    
    use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiResource;
    use App\Controller\PublishBookAction;
    
    /**
     * @ApiResource(
     *     itemOperations={
     *         "put_publish"={
     *             "method"="PUT",
     *             "path"="/books/{id}/publish",
     *             "controller"=PublishBookAction::class,
     *             "deserialize"=false,
     *         },
     *     },
     * )
     */
    class Book
    {

    You may also need to add "validate"=false if the controller result is null (possibly because you don’t need to persist the resource).
