Release notes

3.1.0 (2022-10-21)

  • Improved compatibility with PHP 8.1; in particular, the new __serialize/__unserialize methods are implemented now (in addition to the still supported Serializable interface). Care has been taken to keep the output of getHash() stable; if other classes include the PHP serialization of data values in their own hashes, they should instead use the new getSerializationForHash() method where it exists.

3.0.0 (2021-01-19)

  • Removed getCopy from the DataValue interface and all implementations
  • Removed getSortKey from the DataValue interface and all implementations
  • Removed the Comparable, Hashable and Immutable interfaces
  • Removed DATAVALUES_VERSION constant
  • Removed DataValueTest (create a copy if you need it, though better refactor away the bad design)
  • Raised minimum PHP version from 5.5.9 to 7.2
