.. versionadded:: 2.5
The ``getEvent()`` method was introduced in Symfony 2.5

The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\StopwatchEvent` object can be retrieved from the
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::start`,
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::stop`,
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::lap` and
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::getEvent` methods.
The latter should be used when you need to retrieve the duration of an event while it is still running.

When we use :method:, only the function name will show up. So, this will read a bit better like this I think:

The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\StopwatchEvent` object can be retrieved from 
the :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::start`, 
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::stop`,
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::lap` and
:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Stopwatch\\Stopwatch::getEvent` methods.

Also, can you add line breaks so that we have a line break after the first word that crosses the 72nd character? With these long :method: things, we often will put those entirely on their own line.

We usually also add a versionadded:: 2.5 tag above a feature that is new, but I'm not sure here - it seems like a lot of work just for the 1 new method getEvent. Let's see what others think.

Thanks!

I think the versionadded directive must be present here. Otherwise, after 2.5 has been released, you'll automatically get this version of the docs by default which could then be confusing if you are using an older Symfony version and don't notice that you can't use the getEvent() method then.

Thus, I'd add this above the new paragraph:

.. versionadded:: 2.5
    The ``getEvent()`` method was introduced in Symfony 2.5.

Agreed, let's add the versionadded

You can also provide a category name to an event::

$stopwatch->start('eventName', 'categoryName');
