Next major roadmap

[soullivaneuh]

According to #337 (comment), here is a roadmap for the next 2.0 major of this bundle:

• Bump PHP support to 7.1 → [WIP] [2.x] Version bumps #366
• Introduce PHP7 type-hinting -> Dependencies upgrade #379
• Move to psr-4 new directory structure (src and tests) → [2.x] PSR-4 friendly structure #365
• Bump PHPUnit support to v6 -> Dependencies upgrade #379
• Bump Symfony support to v3.4. As it's the next LTS, it would make sense
• Bump nelmio/alice support to v3 => nelmio/alice v3 #268 and Nelmio Alice v3 upgrade #337
• Bump Twig support to v2 -> Dependencies upgrade #379
• Bump jackalope/jackalope-doctrine-dbal support to v1.3 -> Dependencies upgrade #379
• Bump brianium/paratest to v1 -> Dependencies upgrade #379
• Check and bump other dependencies to latest -> Dependencies upgrade #379

This are ideas I got right know. Feel free to comment if you want to add/modify/remove any of them.

Also, feel free to participate to this next major. 👍

Note that there is another roadmap in #332.

Yeah I saw it later, but not quite the same.

Thanks for linking it. 👍

I would add supporting Symfony as ^3.0||^4.0 which would help most people with no big problems on our side. If the maintainers are 👍 with this issue, I would ask them to open a branch for this, I would gladly help.

[soullivaneuh]

@Jean85 ^3.4 || ^4.0 is preferable IMHO, we don't have to support EOL version of Symfony on the next major.

[Jean85]

I know, but since we're talking about Symfony, we could impact a great deal of upgrade issues, since it will drag any Symfony component with it. I would prefer to bump it upwards from ^3.0 only if needed; due to their nice BC promise we could have no issues with that.

[soullivaneuh]

due to their nice BC promise we could have no issues with that.

Well, we generally have to make BC trick on library. For example, if we want to use a method introduce in v3.2, we have to make the usage conditional with support of ^3.0.

As you said, there is a BC promise, but for end user. And to complete your sentence, the end user may upgrade to Symfony 3.4 without any issue. 😉

I've opened #359 to start development of this issue. Obviously a lot of tests are failing, but it's a starting point...

Can we add a tool for automatic CS fixing in this roadmap?

Can we add a tool for automatic CS fixing in this roadmap?

@Jean85 Funny to ask, I made one recently: https://flintci.io

May we try it? 😄

[Jean85]

Eheh 😄 we should ask @lsmith77 ...
BTW, can you update the checklist, since #365 got merged?
