    • Break: The default minimum-stability is now stable, read more

    November 14, 2015
    • 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 --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 --file to the archive command to choose the filename

    • Fixed partial updates updating things they shouldn't when the current vendor dir was out of date with the lock file
