phpDocumentor version 2.7 is here. In this release we have fixed various issues that have been reported and thanks to an amazing Testfest in Amsterdam the Code Coverage has risen with at least 8%! A huge thanks to all who participated there.
In preparation for Testfest we have switched the provisioning of the development machines to use Ansible instead of puppet and made some parts optional (such as profiling and doc generation), making it a lot easier to use the virtual machine.
Something which is not reflected in the changelog below is that we have automated the deploys of the phpDocumentor website and the releases for phpDocumentor itself. In the past a release took several hours to prepare and execute, now we can do 75% of it within 15 minutes. I hope that we can automate the remaining bit as well but that is something for the future.
For a complete list of changes, see the changelog below and enjoy the new version!
