Improve test suite by adding PHPUnit to require-dev and support legacy PHP 5.3 through PHP 7.2 and HHVM, add tests for all commands and perform some minor code cleanup/maintenance, minor internal refactoring to clean up some unneeded code duplication and unneeded references and remove dedicated bundler classes, always bundle complete package. (#85, #86, #89 and #92 by @clue)

Add build script removing uneeded files and update development docs. (#91 by @clue)

First stable release, now following SemVer.

Feature: Can now be installed as a require-dev Composer dependency and supports running as ./vendor/bin/phar-composer. (#36 by @radford)

Fix: Actually exclude vendor/ directory. This prevents processing all vendor files twice and reduces build time by 50%. (#38 by @radford)

Fix: Fix error reporting when processing invalid project paths. (#56 by @staabm and @clue)

Fix: Fix description of phar-composer install command. (#47 by @staabm)

Updated documentation, tests and project structure. (#54, #57, #58 and #59 by @clue)

Feature: The search command is the new default if you do not pass any command (#13). You can now use the following command to get started:

$ phar-composer

Fix: Pass through STDERR output of child processes instead of aborting (#33)

Fix: Do not timeout when child process takes longer than 60s. This also helps users with slower internet connections. (#31)

Fix: Update broken dependencies (#18)

Fix: Fixed an undocumented config key (#14, thanks @mikey179)

Feature: New install command will now both build the given package and then install it into the system-wide bin directory /usr/local/bin (usually already in your $PATH). This works for any package name or URL just like with the build command, e.g.:

$ phar-composer install phpunit/phpunit

After some (lengthy) build output, you should now be able to run it by just issuing:

$ phpunit

Feature: New search command provides an interactive command line search. It will ask for the package name and issue an search via packagist.org's API and present a list of matching packages. So if you don't know the exact package name, you can now use the following command:

$ phar-composer search boris

Feature: Both build and install commands now also optionally accept an additional target directory to place the resulting phar into.

Feature: Resulting phar files can now be executed on systems without ext-phar (#8). This vastly improves portability for legacy setups by including a small startup script which self-extracts the current archive into a temporary directory.

Feature: Resulting phar files can now be executed without the phar file name extension. E.g. this convenient feature now allows you to move your ~demo.phar to /usr/bin/demo for easy system wide installations.

Fix: Resolving absolute paths to vendor/autoload.php

Feature: Packages can now also be cloned from any git URLs (#9), like this:

$ phar-composer build https://github.com/clue/phar-composer.git

The above will clone the repository and check out the default branch. You can also specify either a tag or branch name very similar to how composer works:

$ phar-composer build https://github.com/clue/phar-composer.git:dev-master

Feature: Packages listed on packagist.org can now automatically be downloaded and installed prior to generating phar (#7), like this:

$ phar-composer build clue/phar-composer

The above will download and install the latest stable tagged release (if any). You can also specify a tagged version like this:

$ phar-composer build clue/phar-composer:0.1.*

Or you can specify to install the head of a given branch like this:

$ phar-composer build clue/phar-composer:dev-master
