Changelog - Version 7.0

Status: in development. This document tracks changes landing on the 7.0 branch. Nothing here is released yet, and the contents may still change.

Breaking Changes

• None.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 are now supported: "php": ">=8.3 <8.7". The previous <8.6 upper bound excluded PHP 8.6, since <8.6 is exclusive.

ByJG dependencies

• byjg/statemachine is now ^7.0.
• byjg/swagger-test is now ^7.0.

While 7.0 is unreleased these resolve to 7.0.x-dev from each component's 7.0 branch, via minimum-stability: dev with prefer-stable: true.

Toolchain

• PHPUnit updated to ^12.5.

• Psalm is installed as psalm/phar instead of vimeo/psalm.

  vimeo/psalm lists the PHP versions it supports and no published release includes 8.6, so as a dev dependency it made composer install fail on the 8.6 build job before any test ran. psalm/phar requires only php ^8.2 and bundles its own dependencies, so it installs on every PHP version in the matrix and cannot conflict with the project's. Psalm itself still refuses to run on 8.6, which is why the Psalm job uses 8.5. composer psalm runs it.

• PHPUnit 13 is deliberately not used. It requires PHP >=8.4.1, breaking the 8.3 floor.

Continuous Integration caveat

PHP 8.6 is excluded from the build matrix, though the composer constraint allows it. orchestra/testbench pulls laravel/framework → league/commonmark → league/config → nette/schema, and nette/schema caps at php 8.1 - 8.5. The runtime dependencies (illuminate/*) install on 8.6 without complaint — verified in byjg/php:8.6-cli — so consumers on 8.6 are unaffected; only the test harness cannot run there yet.

Continuous Integration

• The Psalm job runs on PHP 8.5.

Housekeeping

• phpunit.xml.dist renamed to phpunit.xml.
