bobthecow/psysh v0.8.0

PsySH v0.8.0

on GitHub

Our biggest release notes yet!

New:

• Add a Hoa\Console-based pure PHP readline fallback, for PHP installs compiled without readline or libedit (Thanks @zonuexe)
• Automatically check for updates (Thanks @eeree!)
• Add an updateCheck frequency configuration. It defaults to weekly, but you can set it to always, daily, weekly, monthly or never.
• Update to PHP Parser v3.0, with better PHP 7.1 support (Thanks @GrahamCampbell!)
• Add support for language constructs (isset, unset, empty, etc) in the doc command.
• Build a psysh-compat as well as psysh phar. The second phar contains polyfills for intl and readline. It's quite a bit bigger, but also quite a bit more useful for PHP installs without all the bells and whistles.

Improved:

• Fix "uninitialized string offset" in autocomplete matchers.
• Prevent PHP's built-in webserver from hanging after debugging (Thanks @5tevan!)
• Allow recursive static calls when defining classes.
• Shrink compiled phar size by ~10%.
• Fix VarDumper truncating null bytes in output.
• Add support for multiline comment input.
• Catch invalid pass by reference arguments.
• Better handling for Error in newer PHPs.
• Better formatting for error output.
• Build phar with detect_unicode=Off if compiled under PHP 5.3, because PHP 5.3.
• Various fixes for HHVM tests.

And a couple of things I'm prolly more excited about than you:

• Test the lowest versions of all dependencies in CI. They're all currently failing, but it's a start :)
• Speed up CI builds by disabling xdebug.
• Build GitHub releases on CI for great justice.
