Question: i used to to use composer to create a new symfony project like so

```
composer create-project symfony/symfony-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

```

but know when i want to use the symfony installer i use the command

```
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

```

or

```
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5

```

but i get this error

```
  [RuntimeException]                                                 
  The Symfony version should be 2.N.M, where N = 0..9 and M = 0..99  

new directory [version]

```

how can i tel that i want to use the version 2.5 including the last updates from symfony like i used to with composer?

Answer: 
There is no reason to have the latest minor version of an version. You start developing with the latest version and then you should freeze it until there is a reason to update.

If you don't care, clone the git repo, `grep` your tag and create your project with it.
Please try with it:

```
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir/ 3.0.7

```

It should work. Maybe your forgot the last slash...
