Pretty Package Versions

This small patch handles replaced and provided packages, so that consumers of this library can handle bad requests gracefully.

This new major release of this package was long awaited by me, since it’s a comeback of the 1.3 release, that was rolled back. Now, after more than 22 million downloads and the stable release of Composer 2, it’s time to use it!

The breaking changes are reduced to a minimum to allow a smoother upgrade path; if you use this package in a library, you’re encouraged to require it with a constraint of ^1.5 || ^2.0, to obtain all the functionalities without constraining your end users to upgrade immediately to Composer 2.

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

This version attempts to support Composer 2 directly, by dropping dependencies and using the Composer 2 API directly.

This release is intended to change the future release plan of this package. Please require the package with ^1.5 || ^2.0 to ensure full functionalities and future Composer 2 compatibility.
