Symfony2.5 maxlength is deprecated

Question

I would like to know why the max_length in the form type is deprecated?

enter image description here

And how to achieve the desired effect in the cleanest way now?

See the related issue on Github. This option only adds the html attribute to the textarea. You can manually add it via attributes:

$builder->add('field', 'textarea', array(
    'attr' => array('maxlength' => 255),
));
