PHP-Parser 4.5.0

Added

• [PHP 8.0] Added support for the mixed type. This means mixed types are now parsed as an Identifier rather than a Name.
• [PHP 8.0] Added support for catching without capturing the exception. This means that Catch_::$var may now be null.

PHP-Parser 4.4.0

Added

• Added support for passing union types in builders.
• Added end line, token position and file position information for comments.
• Added getProperty() method to ClassLike nodes.
• [PHP 8.0] Add support for variable syntax tweaks RFC.

Fixed

• Fixed generation of invalid code when using the formatting preserving pretty printer, and inserting code next to certain nop statements. The formatting is still ugly though.
• getDocComment() no longer requires that the very last comment before a node be a doc comment. There may not be non-doc comments between the doc comment and the declaration.
• Allowed arbitrary expressions in isset() and list(), rather than just variables. In particular, this allows isset(($x)), which is legal PHP code.

PHP-Parser 4.3.0

Added

• [PHP 8.0] Added support for union types using a new UnionType node.

PHP-Parser 4.2.5

Changed

• Tests and documentation are no longer included in source archives. They can still be accessed by cloning the repository.
• php-yacc is now used to generate the parser. This has no impact on users of the library.

PHP-Parser 4.2.4

Added

• Added getProperties(), getConstants() and getTraitUses() to ClassLike. (#629, #630)

Changed

• php-parse will now print messages to stderr, so that stdout only contains the actual result of the operation (such as a JSON dump). (#605)

Fixed
