lum.compat.php
==============

[](#lumcompatphp)

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

A meta-package to be used by my other Lum libraries to determine their PHP compatibility level, and if any polyfills are required.

All libraries that update to the next `lum-compat` version *must* bump their major version at the same time. Even if there are no changes to the library at all, changing the target `lum-compat` version is breaking compatibility.

Versions
--------

[](#versions)

Each version is stored in its own branch, and there will be tags made for each branch as updates are made.

- `v2.x`

    - Requires PHP 8.1 as minimum version.
    - Requires the `mbstring` extension.
    - May provide polyfills for *some* PHP 9 features in the future.
- `v1.x`

    - Requires PHP 7.4 as minimum version.
    - Requires the `json` extension (which is core in PHP 8.)
    - Will provide polyfills for *some* PHP 8 features in PHP 7 runtimes.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This meta-package isn't really useful outside the other Lum PHP libraries.

The production `composer.json` will use a *caret version range* operator in the `requires` property, e.g. `^2.0` to specify the `v2.x` branch.

Internal `composer-dev*` files will use a *dev branch* specifier instead, so for example, `2.x-dev` would point to the `v2.x` branch.
