3.0.0-alpha1

on GitHub

3.0.0-alpha.0 was the first big milestone, so 3.0.0-alpha1 is in its continuity. The info command has been greatly improved, a new dev mode has been added and a good set of bug fixes to stabilise the previous release have been added.

As the project stabilises, the changes are now more scoped and trackable by PRs as you can see in the PR links below.

Features

• Allow null for the algorithm and compression settings (#89)
• Add a dev mode (#90)
• Display the number of files found in the PHAR for the info command (#93)
• Display the weight of the PHAR for the info command (#93)
• Display compression [NONE] when no compression is found when displaying the list of files contained in the PHAR for the info command (#93)
• A percentage of the compression listed is used when multiple compression or partial compression is used for the info command (#93)
• Restart the process with a different configuration to avoid the user to have to tweak the phar.readonly setting (#91)
• Dump all files added to the PHAR in debug mode (#108)
• Dump the processed configuration in debug mode (#108)
• Force the debug verbosity for the output when the debug mode is enabled (#108)
• Rework the Composer Orchestrator to no longer rely on the dumped file scoper-autoload.php from PHP-Scoper (#94)
• Fix the info command for tar GZ & BZ2 compressed PHARs (#112)
• Make the info command able to inspect PHARs with no extension (#112)

Bugfixes

• Fix PHAR aliases: make the PHAR independent of its name or location; Allow the setting by default (#92)
• When no metadata is found for the info command, the metadata displayed is None (#93)
• Calculate the compression by checking the PHAR contents for the info command instead of relying on the falsy Phar::isCompressed() which returns the wrong result when the default PHAR is not used (#93)
• Generate the box stub by default (#105)
• Fix the blacklist usage (#106, #110)
• Always exclude box debug directory .box from the collected files (#107)
• Ignore symlinks which is causing issues with the dumping of the Composer autoloading (#109)
• Do not include the existing PHAR when collecting the files (#111)

Misc changes

• Remove support for the bootstrap setting (#88)
• No longer accept a string value for the compactors setting (#89)
• No longer accept a numerical value for the algorithm and compression settings (#89)
• info command tweaks besides the one mentioned above:
  • Remove support for ZIP and TAR based PHARs (#93)
  • Remove the metadata option to always show its content instead (#93)

BC breaks

• Remove support for the bootstrap setting (#88)
• The option compactors no longer accepts a string value (#89)
• No longer accept number for algorithm (#89)
• No longer accept integer for compression (#89)
• The command info no longer supports ZIP & TAR based PHARs (#93)
• When using the PhpScoper compactor the scoper-autoload.php file is no longer dumped. Instead the whitelist statements are directly
  appended to the existing autoloader which avoids nay extra work for the user. (#94)
