2.0.0

This release is aimed to become a bridge for native Composer 2 support. The BC breaks are minimal; if you're using it in a library, you're encouraged to require it with ^1.5 || ^2.0, so that your end users will not be constrained to use a specific Composer version.

Added

• Version methods added: getReference, getShortReference, getVersionWithShortReference (see table below)

Changed

• Use Composer 2 API directly to retrieve versions
• Version methods deprecated; this is a simple rename (commit to reference), to better reflect the meaning of Composer API data; the old methods are preserved but deprecated to reduce breaking changes:

New method	Old, deprecated method
Version::getReference()	Version::getCommitHash()
Version::getShortReference()	Version::getShortCommitHash()
Version::getVersionWithShortReference()	Version::getVersionWithShortCommit()

Removed

• Drop PHP 7.0 support
• Drop Composer 1 support
• Drop dependencies
• [BC BREAK] Constant PrettyVersions::SHORT_COMMIT_LENGTH removed
• [BC BREAK] Constant Version::SHORT_COMMIT_LENGTH made private
• [BC BREAK] Version constructor changed arguments: second argument string $version has been split into string $prettyVersion, string $reference

1.5.1

Added

• PHP 8 support (#28)
