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

Enum cases renamed to PascalCase

Enum cases follow the ByJG standard and are written in PascalCase. The backed values did not change, so ->value, from(), tryFrom() and stored data are not affected; only code that names a case (or reads ->name) has to be updated.

Enum	Before (6.x)	After (7.0)
ModelFileParameters	mirostat, mirostatEta, mirostatTau, numCtx, repeatLastN, repeatPenalty, temperature, seed, stop, tfsZ, numPredict, topK, topP, minP	Mirostat, MirostatEta, MirostatTau, NumCtx, RepeatLastN, RepeatPenalty, Temperature, Seed, Stop, TfsZ, NumPredict, TopK, TopP, MinP
Role	user, assistant, system, developer, tool	User, Assistant, System, Developer, Tool
ToolChoice	auto, none, required	Auto, None, Required

Api\Ollama removed

ByJG\LlmApiObjects\Api\Ollama was an empty class with no behaviour and was not used by the library. It is removed; Ollama is still supported through its OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoint (see Getting Started). Code that referenced the class only has to drop the reference.

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/anydataset-xml 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

• The build matrix now includes PHP 8.6.
• The Psalm job runs on PHP 8.5.

Housekeeping

• phpunit.xml.dist renamed to phpunit.xml.
• Added the LICENSE file (MIT); the license was already declared in composer.json.
