v0.6.0 - PHP: Nelson Martell Library

Changelog

Installation changes

• 🔥 Removed dependencies copy. Now you must install dependencies manually if not using composer.

Public API changes

• 🐛 Fixed issue (possible bug) in properties with custom prefix. Now, it must be implemented ICustomPrefixedPropertiesContainer in order to use custom getter/setter prefixes (in addition to get/set defaults).
  • 🆕 Interface: ICustomPrefixedPropertiesContainer. Enables the use of custom properties getter/setter's prefixes.
  • 🔥 Removed PropertiesHandler::$getterPrefix and PropertiesHandler::$setterPrefix static attributes (functionality replaced by ICustomPrefixedPropertiesContainer methods).
  • 🆙 Methods of PropertiesHandler trait are now protected (instead of private) and rewritten to work in a static context (instead of object context).
• 🐛 Fixed possible errors in Extensions\String::format if placeholder values are stdClass or warnings if value is not convertible to string (this is a weakness in usort usage in \Cake\Utility\Text\insert). Extensions\String::format now throws a catchable \InvalidArgumentException if value of placeholder can't be convertible to string to avoid this 🐛.
• 🆕 Interface: IPropertiesContainer.
• 🆕 Interface: IComparer. Split from IComparable to use only compare method. Object class already implements IComparer.
• 🆙 Deprecate IComparable::compare method, to be replaced by IComparer::compare.
• 🆙 IComparable::compareTo implementations are now able to return null if objects can't be compared.
• 🐛 🆙 Improve Object::compare method to compare different types.
• 🆕 Created namespaced global functions under NelsonMartell and deprecated the global ones (typeof(mixed $obj) and other internal functions) to be removed in the next v0.7.0 or v0.8.0 release (see issue #17).
• 📝 Improved and updated API documentation.
• 🆙 Other minor improvements and fixes.
