    ๐Ÿ”„ Changelog

    • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Breaking: This is a major release and while we tried to keep things compatible for most users, you might want to have a look at the UPGRADE guides
    • ๐ŸŽ Many CPU and memory performance improvements
    • โšก๏ธ The update command is now much more deterministic as it does not take the already installed packages into account
    • โšก๏ธ Package installation now performs all network operations first before doing any changes on disk, to reduce the chances of ending up with a partially updated vendor dir
    • ๐Ÿ“‡ Partial updates and require/remove are now much faster as they only load the metadata required for the updated packages
    • โž• Added a platform-check step when vendor/autoload.php gets initialized which checks the current PHP version/extensions match what is expected and fails hard otherwise. Can be disabled with the platform-check config option
    • โž• Added a Composer\InstalledVersions class which is autoloaded in every project and lets you check which packages/versions are present at runtime
    • โž• Added a composer-runtime-api virtual package which you can require (as e.g. ^2.0) to ensure things like the InstalledVersions class above are present. It will effectively force people to use Composer 2.x to install your project
    • โž• Added support for parallel downloads of package metadata and zip files, this requires that the curl extension is present and we thus strongly recommend enabling curl
    • โž• Added much clearer dependency resolution error reporting for common error cases
    • โž• Added support for updating to a specific version with partial updates, as well as a --with flag to pass in temporary constraint overrides
    • โž• Added support for TTY mode on Linux/OSX/WSL so that script handlers now run in interactive mode
    • โž• Added only, exclude and canonical options to all repositories, see repository priorities for details
    • โž• Added support for lib-zip platform package
    • โž• Added pre-operations-exec event to be fired before the packages get installed/upgraded/removed
    • โž• Added pre-pool-create event to be fired before the package pool for the dependency solver is created, which lets you modify the list of packages going in
    • โž• Added post-file-download event to be fired after package dist files are downloaded, which lets you do additional checks on the files
    • โž• Added --locked flag to show command to see the packages from the composer.lock file
    • โž• Added --unused flag to remove command to make sure any packages which are not needed anymore get removed
    • โž• Added --dry-run flag to require and remove commands
    • โž• Added --no-install flag to update, require and remove commands to disable the install step and only do the update step (composer.lock file update)
    • โž• Added --with-dependencies and --with-all-dependencies flag aliases to require and remove commands for consistency with update
    • โž• Added more info to vendor/composer/installed.json, a dev key stores whether dev requirements were installed, and every package now has an install-path key with its install location
    • Added COMPOSER_DISABLE_NETWORK which if set makes Composer do its best to run offline. This can be useful when you have poor connectivity or to do benchmarking without network jitter
    • โž• Added --json and --merge flags to config command to allow editing complex extra.* values by using json as input
    • โž• Added confirmation prompt when running Composer as superuser in interactive mode
    • โž• Added --no-check-version to validate command to remove the warning in case the version is defined
    • โž• Added --ignore-platform-req (without s) to all commands supporting --ignore-platform-reqs, which accepts a package name so you can ignore only specific platform requirements
    • โž• Added support for wildcards (*) in classmap autoloader paths
    • โž• Added support for configuring GitLab deploy tokens in addition to private tokens, see gitlab-token
    • โž• Added support for package version guessing for require and init command to take all platform packages into account, not just php version
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed package ordering when autoloading and especially when loading plugins, to make sure dependencies are loaded before their dependents
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed suggest output being very spammy, it now is only one line long and shows more rarely
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed conflict rules like e.g. >=5 from matching dev-master, as it is not normalized to 9999999-dev internally anymore
