Composer v1.0.0-alpha11 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-11-14 // over 8 years ago
    • Added config.platform to let you specify what your target environment looks like and make sure you do not inadvertently install dependencies that would break it
    • Added exclude-from-classmap in the autoload config that lets you ignore sub-paths of classmapped directories, or psr-0/4 directories when building optimized autoloaders
    • Added path repository type to install/symlink packages from local paths
    • Added possibility to reference script handlers from within other handlers using @script-name to reduce duplication
    • Added suggests command to show what packages are suggested, use -v to see more details
    • Added content-hash inside the composer.lock to restrict the warnings about outdated lock file to some specific changes in the composer.json file
    • Added archive-format and archive-dir config options to specify default values for the archive command
    • Added --classmap-authoritative to install, update, require, remove and dump-autoload commands, forcing the optimized classmap to be authoritative
    • Added -A / --with-dependencies to the validate command to allow validating all your dependencies recursively
    • Added --strict to the validate command to treat any warning as an error that then returns a non-zero exit code
    • Added a dependency on composer/semver, which is the externalized lib for all the version constraints parsing and handling
    • Added support for classmap autoloading to load plugin classes and script handlers
    • Added bin-compat config option that if set to full will create .bat proxy for binaries even if Composer runs in a linux VM
    • Added SPDX 2.0 support, and externalized that in a composer/spdx-licenses lib
    • Added warnings when the classmap autoloader finds duplicate classes
    • Added --file to the archive command to choose the filename
    • Added Ctrl+C handling in create-project to cancel the operation cleanly
    • Fixed version guessing to use ^ always, default to stable versions, and avoid versions that require a higher php version than you have
    • Fixed the lock file switching back and forth between old and new URL when a package URL is changed and many people run updates
    • Fixed partial updates updating things they shouldn't when the current vendor dir was out of date with the lock file
    • Fixed PHAR file creation to be more reproducible and always generate the exact same phar file from a given source
    • Fixed issue when checking out git branches or tags that are also the name of a file in the repo
    • Many minor fixes and documentation additions and UX improvements
