Release v2.0.30

Changelog

Breaking Changes

• PHP requirement: Minimum PHP version is now >=8.1 <8.6 (previously >=7.4). Projects on PHP 7.4 or 8.0 must upgrade PHP before updating this package.

Added

• Opt-in wrapper auto-update: New extra.composer-update-helper.auto_update_wrapper flag in the consuming project's composer.json to overwrite a customized generate-composer-require.sh when the package copy differs (disabled by default to protect local changes).
• Static analysis and refactoring toolchain: PHPStan and Rector added to require-dev, with composer phpstan, composer rector, and composer rector-dry scripts.
• Pre-release pipeline: make release-check runs composer sync, code style, Rector dry-run, PHPStan, and coverage validation.
• Documentation: INSTALLATION.md, SECURITY.md, SPEC-DRIVEN-DEVELOPMENT.md, and SPEC-KIT.md.
• CI/CD integrations: CodeRabbit workflow, PR lint, stale issue management, Scrutinizer configuration, and expanded GitHub Actions CI matrix.
• Spec Kit / Specify: Project scaffolding for spec-driven development (.specify/, baseline spec specs/001-baseline/).
• Composer archive exclusions: demo/ and .cursor/ excluded from distribution archives.

Changed

• Plugin wrapper install behavior: The plugin installs the wrapper on first run; subsequent updates only overwrite when auto_update_wrapper is true or content already matches. When skipped, a comment explains how to enable overwrite.
• Test layout: PHPUnit tests reorganized into tests/Unit/ and tests/Integration/.
• README: Packagist badges, documentation index, PHP 8.1+ requirement, and wrapper update policy.
• Plugin and Installer: Code quality pass (PHPStan/Rector/PHP-CS-Fixer), modern string checks (str_starts_with), and clearer PHPDoc.
• composer.json: Corrected GitHub homepage/support URLs; Symfony FrameworkBundle added as dev dependency for static analysis.

Documentation

• README — Architecture: updated approximate line counts for generate-composer-require.sh and process-updates.php (and noted they can change between releases). Language list in the YAML example points to CONFIGURATION.md for the full locale set instead of a partial inline list.
• Plugin.php — installFiles() docblock documents first-install copy and opt-in overwrite behavior.
• CONFIGURATION.md — Documents extra.composer-update-helper.auto_update_wrapper.

Note: See UPGRADING.md for migration notes.

Release v2.0.27

• Includes packages that passed dependency checks in grouped commands
• Composer can resolve conflicts better when multiple packages are installed simultaneously
• Added translations for grouped installation messages in 31 languages
• Updated documentation (CHANGELOG, UPGRADING, UPDATE_CASES)

resolve conflicts that individual installations cannot.

Changelog

Added

• Grouped Package Installation Suggestions: When multiple packages are filtered by conflicts, suggests installing them together
  • Sometimes Composer can resolve conflicts better when multiple packages are installed simultaneously
  • Automatically groups filtered packages (2 or more) into a single composer require command
  • Also includes packages that passed dependency checks in the grouped command, as installing everything together can help resolve conflicts
  • Example: Instead of just showing filtered packages, suggests: composer require --dev rector/rector:2.3.4 phpstan/phpstan:2.1.36 phpstan/phpstan-symfony:2.0.10 --with-all-dependencies
  • Shows explanatory message: "Suggested commands (try installing together - Composer may resolve conflicts better)"
  • Helps users discover that installing packages together can sometimes resolve conflicts that individual installations cannot
  • Works for both production and development packages separately
  • Integrated into the command generation flow when no transitive updates are available

Release v2.0.24

feat: comprehensive abandoned package detection for all installed packages

• Detect abandoned packages for ALL installed packages (not just outdated)
• New section 'All abandoned packages installed:' before dependency analysis
• Enhanced detection for outdated packages (checks all, not just with conflicts)
• Fixed save-impact-to-file to auto-enable show-impact-analysis
• Added translations for new features in all 31 languages

Closes: Improved visibility into package maintenance status

Changelog

Added

• Comprehensive Abandoned Package Detection: Now detects abandoned packages for ALL installed packages, not just outdated ones
  • New section "All abandoned packages installed:" shows all abandoned packages in your project before dependency analysis
  • Previously only detected abandoned packages when they had dependency conflicts
  • Now checks all packages from composer.json (both require and require-dev)
  • Shows replacement package information if available
  • Separates packages by prod/dev labels
  • Example: ⚠️ All abandoned packages installed: - old-package:1.0.0 (prod) (⚠️ Package is abandoned, replaced by: new-package/name)
  • All messages are translated and available in all 31 supported languages
• Enhanced Abandoned Package Detection for Outdated Packages: Improved detection to check ALL outdated packages for abandoned status
  • Previously only checked abandoned status for packages with dependency conflicts
  • Now checks abandoned status for all outdated packages, regardless of conflicts
  • Provides more comprehensive information about package maintenance status
  • Shows abandoned status in the "Abandoned packages found:" section within dependency analysis

Changed

• Abandoned Package Detection Flow: Restructured to provide more comprehensive coverage
  • Detection now happens at two points: for all installed packages (before analysis) and for outdated packages (during analysis)
  • Avoids duplicate detection by skipping packages already checked
  • Better organization of abandoned package information in output
• Fixed save-impact-to-file configuration: When save-impact-to-file: true is set in YAML, automatically enables show-impact-analysis to ensure data is generated
  • Previously, setting only save-impact-to-file: true without show-impact-analysis: true would not create the file
  • Now automatically activates impact analysis when saving to file is requested
  • Works consistently with --save-impact command-line flag behavior
