How to get config parameters in Symfony2 Twig Templates

I have a Symfony2 Twig template. I want to output the value of a config parameter in this twig template (a version number). Therefore I defined the config parameter like this:

parameters:
    app.version: 0.1.0

I'm able to use this config parameter in Controllers but I have no clue how to get it in my Twig template.

You can also take advantage of the built-in Service Parameters system, which lets you isolate or reuse the value:

# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
    ga_tracking: UA-xxxxx-x

# app/config/config.yml
twig:
    globals:
        ga_tracking: "%ga_tracking%"

Now, the variable ga_tracking is available in all Twig templates:

<p>The google tracking code is: {{ ga_tracking }}</p>

The parameter is also available inside the controllers:

$this->container->getParameter('ga_tracking');

You can also define a service as a global Twig variable (Symfony2.2+):

# app/config/config.yml
twig:
    # ...
    globals:
        user_management: "@acme_user.user_management"

http://symfony.com/doc/current/templating/global_variables.html

If the global variable you want to set is more complicated - say an object - then you won't be able to use the above method. Instead, you'll need to create a Twig Extension and return the global variable as one of the entries in the getGlobals method.
