README

A constraint-patch fork of cboden/ratchet (PHP WebSocket library). The only change from upstream is widening the Symfony component constraints so it installs alongside Laravel 11 / 12 / 13 (Symfony 7 / 8):

symfony/http-foundation: ^2.6|...|^6.0|^7.0|^8.0
symfony/routing:         ^2.6|...|^6.0|^7.0|^8.0

The PHP namespace is unchanged (Ratchet\) for full interop with ratchet/rfc6455 and ReactPHP. This fork exists only because upstream Ratchet (last released 2021) caps Symfony at ^6.0, which conflicts with Laravel 11+.
