Latest version dropped support for php7?

[midahp]

The latest version (7948127) uses for example readonly and final public const keywords that are not supported by php7. If this is intentional, I think it should be made clear in the composer.json/horde.yml.

No, php7 support for tagged releases is going to be kept until PHP 7 EOL. The development branch gets transpiled down to PHP 7.4 for release. Please use the phar in the meanwhile if you need functionality not present in the latest tagged release.

The transpiling is not yet automated - a few more nights.

It would be interesting to have your feedback on the transpiled PHP 7.4 branch and the 1.0.0-alpha5.php.7.4 tag.
The workflow is ugly but after some improvement it should fit well into a pipeline. Composer should be able to automatically choose the best compatible build.

FRAMEWORK_6_0.php.7.4 FRAMEWORK_6_0.php.8.1

The PHP 7.4 branch works perfectly, thanks.

Installing the tag with composer does not work for me though:

>>> composer require horde/components 1.0.0-alpha5.php.7.4                                                                                                                

In VersionParser.php line 521:
                                                                                                          
  Could not parse version constraint 1.0.0-alpha5.php.7.4: Invalid version string "1.0.0-alpha5.php.7.4"  
                                                                                                          

And:

>>> composer require horde/components 1.0.0-alpha5                                                                                                                     [1]

  Problem 1
    - symfony/console 6.2.x-dev requires php >=8.1 -> your php version (7.4.30) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer dev-master requires symfony/console ^5.4 || ^6.0 -> satisfiable by symfony/console[6.2.x-dev].
    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer is locked to version dev-master and an update of this package was not requested.

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

I see. Composer does not really implement SemVer v2. I will change the label to fit...
