Releases

This small new release just adds support to Symfony 6.

The facile-it/doctrine-mysql-come-back was written long time ago by my colleague Luca Boeri, in an attempt to solve the infamous “MySQL server has gone away” error, and similar issues. It’s a simple Doctrine DBAL driver wrapper that catches relevant exceptions from the driver and attempts to reconnect to the database; this is pretty useful if your PHP script is doing something else between queries, and an aggressive timeout from the database truncates the connection in the meantime, due to the prolonged inactivity.

This new minor versions adds support for the Cobertura coverage report, which is supported by many services and tool, with GitLab as a prominent one.

This new minor versions adds a new, small feature to support one small sorting option, the random one. This is useful to mix test execution, if you’re encountering deadlocks and performance bottlenecks due to the concentration of certain tests in some areas of your test suite.

This new minor release is a maintenance one, which drops support for older (and EOLed) PHP & Symfony versions; this allowed me to bump all the development dependencies and streamline the CI flow.
