Changed

• To ensure compatibility with PHP 7, the following node classes have been renamed:

  OLD                             => NEW
  PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Bool   => PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Bool_
  PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Int    => PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Int_
  PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Object => PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\Object_
  PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\String => PhpParser\Node\Expr\Cast\String_
  PhpParser\Node\Scalar\String    => PhpParser\Node\Scalar\String_
  

  The previous class names are still supported as aliases. However it is strongly encouraged to use the new names in order to make your code compatible with PHP 7.

• Subnodes are now stored using real properties instead of an array. This improves performance and memory usage of the initial parse and subsequent node tree operations. The NodeAbstract class still supports the old way of specifying subnodes, however this is deprecated. In any case properties that are assigned to a node after creation will no longer be considered as subnodes.

• Methods and property declarations will no longer set the Stmt\Class_::MODIFIER_PUBLIC flag if no visibility is explicitly given. However the isPublic() method will continue to return true. This allows you to distinguish whether a method/property is explicitly or implicitly public and control the pretty printer output more precisely.

• The Stmt\Class_, Stmt\Interface_ and Stmt\Trait_ nodes now inherit from Stmt\ClassLike, which provides a getMethods() method. Previously this method was only available on Stmt\Class_.

• Support including the bootstrap.php file multiple times.

• Make documentation and tests part of the release tarball again.

• Improve support for HHVM and PHP 7.

Added

• Added support for PHP 7 return type declarations. This adds an additional returnType subnode to Stmt\Function_, Stmt\ClassMethod and Expr\Closure.
• Added support for the PHP 7 null coalesce operator ??. The operator is represented by Expr\BinaryOp\Coalesce.
• Added support for the PHP 7 spaceship operator <=>. The operator is represented by Expr\BinaryOp\Spaceship.
• Added use builder.
• Added global namespace support to the namespace builder.
• Added a constructor flag to NodeTraverser, which disables cloning of nodes.
