Paraunit 0.9.1 has been released with a really small improvement: I wnated to show a pretty, short version string in the header, when launching Paraunit. I recently started using Ocramius’ package to do it, but it didn’t provide that feature, and he was adamant about not implementing it in the future.

Paraunit 0.9.2 and Paraunit 0.8.3 has been released to fix a nasty little bug that I got reported to me: two dependencies were missing and the CI missed that due to the fact that both were required by dev dependencies.

This is the first release of this package!

After a long time and a lot of work, Paraunit 0.9 has been released. This release is a big step ahead: now Paraunit runs with PHPUnit 6, and support to older versions is dropped; this also means that the minimum supported PHP version is now 7.0, and the minimum version of the Symfony components is bumped to 2.7, since older versions are out of support since may.

A few days ago I stumbled on a strange tweet that was highlighting a controversy about scalar type hints. After asking references about this, someone alluded to this very short video: “PHP Bits: Visual Debt” (it’s only 3 minutes, please watch it before continue reading). After that, the author of the video was dragged into the conversation, and it blew up into a big tweetstorm in the following few hours.
