We are working for some time now to upgrade all the Hoa libraries to use + PHP 7.1 features. This is a hard path to follow but, for sure, it'll move + the code forward.

+

Despite the performance upgrade, PHP + 5.X is officially dead since 2019/01/01, there is nothing to block + adoption of newer version anymore.

+

Let's take a look at the biggest advantages of that future update :

+
    +
  • Scalar type declaration,
    • +
  • Use hoa/option,
    • +
  • Refactor and update some method naming.
    • +
+

Based on those updates, we'll have the ability to simplify PHPDoc + comments and use Kitab to generate a clean documentation. The code will be + even more solid based on the new scalar types declaration.

+

Also this will introduce a natural BC Break so we'll take care of the + release process correctly.
