[v0.31.0][]

Major revamp of Zesk. PSR-4. PHP 8.1. Added typing to nearly all calls and will continue until they all have types ( except core abstract and interfaces which are untyped).

Dropped internal ORM implementation and database abastraction in favor of Doctrine which has an excellect Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) as well as a very mature and robust Object Relational Mapping ( ORM) engine.

If you upgraded to this version you will have a lot of work to do.

We anticipate a few small releases before a full 1.0 release.

Many breaking changes:

• Zesk's functions.php calls for typing such as to_bool (toBool) are now zesk\Types::toBool, etc.
• pair and other cousins are in zesk\StringTools::pair
• map and other cousins are in zesk\ArrayTools::map
• tr is now zesk\Types::replaceSubstrings
• zesk\Options and zesk\Configuration keys are case-sensitive
• zesk\Exception\KeyNotFound is used in cases where the key should exist more often
• zesk\Exception naming refactored
• Doctrine added, zesk\Database and zesk\ORM were removed. LOL. Some remnants remain and will be removed.
• Module names are case-sensitive
• Module JSONs are now loaded via glob *.module.json to avoid case-sensitivity issues
• All modules restructured to new project layout, tests added
• Net module had major renaming, part-way finished (WIP)
• Removed all widget and most HTML-related tools - moving to a more API-centric server model.
• Deprecated: avalue, zesk\Kernel
• All namespaces for modules are now zesk\ModuleName\ClassName
• Using flatter namespaces for most references
• Major camelCase refactor and cleanup
• PHP 8.1 default
• Template paths are no longer case-insensitive
• Code coverage for testing is more than 50%
• Added docker and testing containers
• Support XDEBUG debugging from the container
• Major development, build, and release updates to the project in docker, bin/build
• Removed a ton of old code and things which were no longer used
• Exceptions were renamed and refactored, now all have an Exception suffix
• Better use of namespaces
• World Bootstrap moved into zesk\World\Bootstrap
• Hook system rewritten to use PHP Attributes
• Case-sensitivity has generally been removed from most systems where it was unnecessary

Other changes and improvements:

• Docker for PHP and debugging using XDebug, built-in MySQL for testing (will add other databases)
• Fully automated build and deployment
• PHP Unit test suite with coverage reports
• Follow all PSR's for naming now

What's coming:

• zesk\Doctrine is still in testing and is incomplete
• All other zesk\ORM-based modules need to be migrated
• Additional code coverage and improved quality
