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.

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.

Paraunit 0.8.2 has been released to fix an issued caused by an unwanted overwrite of the write() method in the LogWriter class.

Paraunit 0.8.1 has been released to fix a small regression that happens when running functional tests in a Symfony project.
