When testing the PHP side of a Symfony application, tests are normally split into unit and functional: the former do not need anything in addition to some proficiency, due to their small size and isolated execution; the latter instead are more complex, slower and sometimes more brittle, because they use more components, and they involve the framework and the libraries used to build the app.

This is finally the stable release of this forked library, and it only bumps the PHP requirement to PHP 7.2, everything else is the same.

This release contains only support for newer versions of PHP & PHPUnit; due to PHPUnit 9.3 requiring a new major version of phpunit/php-code-coverage, I’m forced to drop support to all PHPUnit versions below 9.3. Usage of Paraunit is unchanged.

This small patch adds support for the upcoming PHP 8.0 release.
