Is this repository unmaintained?

[e1himself]

I can see there's no code commits from @danielstjules since 2017.
There are multiple issues and pull requests not touched for years.

Should we consider replacing Stringy with a different package?

Unfortunately there doesn't look like there's much activity here.

If interested, we have forked this project here to continue support for this great package in the meantime to fix some of the ongoing issues with this package (such as issues with PHP 7.3)

Good luck!

Thanks!

@edmundluong88 hi, maybe you can compare your fork with this fork https://github.com/voku/Stringy ... here I optimized the performance and merged all logic into "Portable UTF-8".

It would be great to have one fork where development can continue :)

Maybe if someone contacted him, he'd be willing to hand the repo over to another maintainer?

Looks like there's multiple proposed forks! Hadn't realized PHP5 hit EOL (https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) -- in this case it does seem like https://github.com/voku/Stringy is a good alternative!

Would it be helpful to evaluate some of these forks and elect to pull one of them into master? Or choose a new maintainer from this list?

[simPod]

@danielstjules if we can have a new maintainer it would be great.

IMO development should continue in this repository. We can collect commits from another forks when their authors approve.

I can help if wanted.

@danielstjules If you want to pull changes from e.g. voku/Stringy then I can help to clean-up my personal stuff from the fork (e.g. anti-xss). :)

So I can also help if wanted.

https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP could be a good place for this project

I just changed repository to https://github.com/voku/Stringy

[alexeyshockov]

Symfony has released a new "String" component (symfony/symfony#33553) that does pretty much the same things

[simPod]

@alexeyshockov I noticed they created something like that but did not pay attention to it. I tried opening toString() PR. Overall it looks promising.

@danielstjules Do you have any plans for this repository?
