Allowing PHP 8.3

This release allows php 8.3 and is tested against PHP 7.4 -> 8.3.

The only code changes were to get the __unserialize methods on a couple of classes signature in-line with PHP's base signature for these methods so that the parameters' names match.

Deprecated notice Fix for apcu_store

In PHP 8.1, apcu_store was throwing a deprecated notice when using the APCu cache adapter. This has been fixed with this release.

PHP 8.2 Support

This release has been tested against PHP 8.2.

It also allows newer versions of the Symfony YAML component for any projects that might be used this library in a Symfony application and want to be able to upgrade to Symfony 6 or 7.

Full Changelog: 4.0.1...4.0.2

Mysql 8 Support

This release includes a very small change so that the Transaction handling in Doctrine works with Mysql 8.0+

Doctrine will sometimes make a query to get the transaction isolation global variable from the server, previous to this change, the variable it was trying to access doesn't exist in Mysql 8.0 (deprecated in 5.7.20, and removed in 8.0).

Doctrine will now detect the mysql version and issue the correct query for this variable depending on the version of the server.

PHP 8.1, Basic JSON type, Auto-transaction start

This release is tested against PHP 8.1 with no deprecation notices or test failures.

There were a couple of additions here as well, one of which being the reason for the major version bump:

• Basic JSON column support. It's now possible to specify "json" for the type of a column in the schema, and Doctrine will JSON encode/decode the data for the column automatically.
• When using transaction savepoints in Doctrine (using the beginTransaction, commit or rollback methods on Doctrine_Connection with an argument representing the savepoint identifier) if there is not open transaction when beginTransaction is called, one will be started. If that's the only open transaction when commit is called, the transaction will be committed. Generally this behavior is harmless, but if developers are wrapping Doctrine transactions with their own direct START TRANSACTION outside of Doctrine's transaction handling, then Doctrine won't know there is a pending transaction. Because of this behavior change, we decided to make this a major version bump.

PHP 8.0 Tested

This release includes some fixes to address errors encountered in tests and static analysis for PHP 8.0.

Improved annotations, PHP 7.0 minimum

This release bumps the minimum PHP version in composer.json to 7.0. I you're still on PHP 5.x, please use version 3.0.1 or lower (composer should determine this properly).

Further improved docblock annotations throughout the library with the help of the most recent versions of PHPStan and Psalm.

Better SET type (in mysql) support

SET type when importing and exporting models from mysql wasn't working properly, this release improves on that.

PHP 7.3 Support - Symfony YAML parser - APCU Cache adapter

This release fixes some notices/warnings that were thrown by PHP 7.3.

There's now an APCU cache adapter that can be used, which may eliminate the need for the apcu_bc extension (thanks @rossmotley!).

YAML parsing has also been changed from the bundled sfYaml to Symfony's YAML parser. Due to the differences in Symfony\Yaml and sfYaml we're releasing this as a new major version as the Symfony\Yaml component will throw exceptions in cases of improper YAML syntax, where the sfYaml parser would not (more details in #43). Otherwise there have been no BC breaks vs. the 2.x version.
