Suggestions for v2.0.0

[Potherca]

Introduction

The discussion in #38 lead to the idea that it could be beneficial to start working on a v2 of PHPTAL. The scope would be limited to removing features that have been marked deprecated (or are not needed because of improvements in newer PHP versions), cleaning up the code/folder structure (Quality Assistance), and have things use Composer (autoloader/install/dependency constraints/etc.).

To get an idea of what we might be getting ourselves into, it would be wise to have a look at the code and analyze exactly how much work a v2 would require.

Hence this ticket.

This issue can then be closed once a fixed set of items has been reached (and agreed upon) and issues have been made for each item. Progress can then be measured using the v2 milestone.

Version 2.0.0

All of the following would need to be done: ^{separate issues should be created for each item}

• [ ] Improve/update the documentation - #41
• [X] Composer only install ^Composer - #43
• [ ] Improve code-coverage/risky code checks by making the PHPUnit config more strict and annotating tests with @covers ^{Quality Assistance}
• [ ] PHP 5.5+ support ^{Quality Assistance}

Although changes/additions might be useful, those are not the focus of this issue and should be added to a v3 milestone.

Version 3.0.0

• [ ] Use namespaces ^{Quality Assistance}

Use namespaces sounds like a major/massive BC break with very few benefits. Push to 3.x unless there is a strong requirement for them?

Good point, bumped to v3 list.
