Priorities

[DannyvdSluijs]

👟 Picking up the pace

Step by step this project is coming back to life. We are making progress and want to share the priorities of stuff we will be working on. This is our priorities list at the moment of writing and does provide any details about when milestone are going to be done. This remains an unfunded open-source software library so time spend by maintainers and contributors is their own free time.

🔢 Priorities

1. ✅ Get version 6.0.0 shipped: This will resolve issue for people that have been reporting them based on older branches. We can limit the support to the last two mayor versions. [Discussion]
2. Bump to minimum PHP 7.2 / Compatibility with op to PHP 8.4: This has been widely discussed and @Seldaek has confirmed PHP 7.2 is the lowest we should still support. [Discussion]
3. Improve with automation: With time being like gold in OSS, using workflow files for CI/CD, Issue management, Issue forms harnessing the power of GitHub can be a great time saver.
4. Keep fixing bugs, triage tickets: With the release of 6.0.0 we might get some new issue reports and we still have some open issues and pull request which we should work towards getting down to zero.
5. Improve documentation: Documentation is always an afterthought but very important with library packages. We should out effort in the docs , examples and functionalities.
6. Include support for newer schema versions: As it says on the can we should support the newer versions of the JSON schemas
7. Promote jsonrainbow/json-schema: When we are all said and done we should promote this library once again on https://json-schema.org to be back (https://json-schema.org/obsolete-implementations#validators-php / Source)
