Reverse Regex Laravel Package

Changed

• Possibly breaking for subclasses: native return types were added to Scope, Node::contains(), Parser and the Parser\Quantifier/Parser\Unicode strategies, and the Parser and Quantifier properties are now typed; classes extending them must use compatible signatures (public interfaces are unchanged)
• Autoloading: PSR-0 replaced by PSR-4 (same namespaces and class names); tests moved from src/ReverseRegex/Test/ to tests/ and are no longer shipped in the package archive
• Scope::generate() (and LiteralScope) now normalise a null result to an empty string; ContextInterface::generate() docblocks declare the by-reference $result as string|null on input and string on output, so static analysers such as Psalm no longer complain
• All source files declare strict_types=1
• Wider runtime dependency ranges: doctrine/lexer accepts ^3 and doctrine/collections accepts ^2 and ^3 (previously supported versions still work)

Fixed

• ArrayCollection::getAt() returns null for positions outside 1..count() as documented, instead of a wrong element
• Parser no longer attaches a null scope to the result when constructed without an explicit head
• Parser\Short::parse() returns the head scope as documented
• Node::detach() no longer triggers the PHP 8.5 SplObjectStorage::detach() deprecation

Removed

• Unused Test\Basic base class (it depended on Pimple, which is not a dependency)

Internal

• CI/tooling only: coverage reporting (Codecov, 90% minimum), PHPStan level 6 with no baseline, stricter PHPUnit, PHP 8.1/8.5 lowest/highest matrix, Dependabot, examples run in CI, GitHub release created from version tags, updated dev dependencies, README fixes

Added

• Code quality tools: Facile.it coding standard and PHPStan 2 (level 5)
• Composer scripts: cs-check, cs-fix, phpstan, phpstan-baseline
• GitHub Actions workflows for code style and static analysis (PHP 8.1-8.4)
• PHPStan baseline for incremental code quality improvements

Fixed

• Allow SimpleRandom to handle unbounded quantifiers (#13)

Removed

• Support for PHP 7.4 and 8.0 (minimum required version is now PHP 8.1)

Added

• Compatibility with PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4

Changed

• Allow doctrine/lexer ^2
• Substitute patchwork/utf with symfony/polyfill-mbstring

Changed

• Versioning now adheres to semantic versioning.
