[RFC] 2.0 Proposal
mbabker opened this issue · 5 comments
I've been sitting on a branch for a while that has a bunch of proposed changes for a 2.0 branch. You can see the diff here and the relevant upgrade guide.
To sum it up though:
- Minimum supported Symfony version is now 5.4
- Minimum supported PHP version is now 8.1 (the Packagist stats for the 1.x releases show this covers ~70% of users)
- Deprecated functionality dropped
- Typehints everywhere
So, it's not a huge release as far as major versions go. But, given Symfony 4.4 is about to stop receiving regular maintenance and go into LTS security-only support, this is a good time to look at what dropping support for it looks like. As for the PHP minimum, 7.4 reaches its end of support in a couple of months and Symfony 6 uses 8.1 as a minimum, so these versions would match up nicely. And for those still on older Symfony or PHP versions, the 1.x branch is still there and totally usable.
Everything makes sense in my opinion
Go for it! :)
@mbabker great work, would love to see this new 2.0 version started, let me know if you want a beta tester
I'll throw the branch up as a PR in the next week or two (things have been quite busy for me the last few weeks, so I haven't been able to do much OSS wise).
