PHP 8 support #310

Closed mzur closed 2 years ago

mzur commented 3 years ago

Check if BIIGLE is already compatible with PHP 8. If not, establish compatibility. Then add it as supported version to composer.json.

The dependencies are not ready, it seems. Current issues: ramsey/uuid-doctrine and psalm/plugin-laravel require doctrine/orm ^2.5 (doctrine/dbal ~2.3) but ^3.0 is required for PHP 8.0 support.

I pushed the current state of the PHP 8 configuration to the php-8 branch. Try running this there to see if the packages are finally compatible:

composer require --ignore-platform-reqs -W doctrine/dbal ramsey/uuid-doctrine

Recently I ran a test with YAML parsers and PHP 7.4 vs. 8.0. The plain PHP YAML parser was 2-4x faster with PHP 8.0. So this update should not be neglected, as we could see substantial performance improvements!

I've merged the current master into php-8 and now psalm/plugin-laravel seems to be incompatible (it requires Laravel 8).
