## 4.0.0 - 2020-12-30

### Added

- [laminas/laminas-code#57](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/57) support for following PHP 8
  types have been added:
   * union types
   * `false`
   * `mixed`
   * `null`
   * `static`

### Changed

- [laminas/laminas-code#57](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/57) due to internal refactoring
  requiring better internal types, the minimum supported PHP version is now `7.4`
- BC BREAK [laminas/laminas-code#38](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/38) changed generated class
  output to no longer contain excessive whitespace around contents. The structure of the generated output
  will still be the same, but spacing changed, which will likely lead o breakages if you
  are asserting/depending upon the strings produced by `Laminas\Code\Generator\ClassGenerator#generate()`
- BC BREAK [laminas/laminas-code#42](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/42) `declare()` statements
  will now be generated above `namespace` declarations: this is to be better compliant with PSR-2, but it
  may break downstream applications if these rely on the stability of code produced
  by `Laminas\Code\Generator\FileGenerator#generate()`

### Removed

- BC BREAK [zendframwork/zend-code#153](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/153) Removed
  the annotation API from the library
- BC BREAK [laminas/laminas-code#39](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/39) the
  `laminas/laminas-zendframework-bridge` has been removed, and is instead to be installed optionally
  by consumers of the library. If you are still migrating from `zendframework/zend-code`, you will
  need to add it to your `composer.json` yourself, or directly use to `Laminas\Code` symbols.
- BC BREAK [laminas/laminas-code#58](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-code/pull/58) the `Scanner`
  and `Annotation` components have been removed, and with it all API that interacted with it:
   * `Laminas\Code\Generator\FileGeneratorRegistry` has been deleted
   * `Laminas\Code\Generator\FileGenerator::fromReflectedFileName()` was removed
   * `Laminas\Code\Generator\FileGenerator::fromReflection()` was removed

### Added

- Nothing.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

### Fixed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#61](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/61) fixes an issue with

  attempt to resolve as if they were relative to the current namespace.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#69](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/69) fixes an issue with
  how class names under the same namespace are generated when generating
  typehints, extends, and implements values; they now strip the
  common namespace from the class name.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#72](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/72) fixes an issue
  within the `TokenArrayScanner` when scanning closures.

## 3.0.2 - 2016-04-20

### Added

- Nothing.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

### Removed

- Nothing.

### Fixed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#52](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/52) updates several
  dependency constraints:
  - laminas-stdlib now allows either the 2.7 or 3.0 series, as the APIs consumed by
    laminas-code are compatible across versions.
  - PHP now excludes the 7.0.5 release, as it has known issues in its tokenizer
    implementation that make the laminas-code token scanner unusable.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#46](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/46) updates all
  generators to use `\n` for line endings in generated code, vs `PHP_EOL`,
  ensuring cross-platform consistency.

### Added

- Nothing.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

### Removed

- Nothing.

### Fixed

  to a class generator.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#38](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/38) PHP_CodeSniffer was moved to dev dependencies

## 3.0.0 - 2016-01-13

### Changed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#140](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/140) updates the `MethodScanner::setVisibility()` method to raise a package-specific `InvalidArgumentException` instead of
  the non-existent package `Exception` class when an invalid visibility is provided.

This section refers to breaking changes: please refer to
[docs/book/migration.md](docs/book/migration.md) for migration instructions.

- Types `string`, `int`, `float`, `bool` passed to `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#setType()`
  are no longer ignored in generated code [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- Types declared in DocBlocks are now ignored when creating a `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator` via
  `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator::fromReflection()`. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- Type strings are now validated: passing an invalid type to any method in the generator API
  may lead to a `Laminas\Code\Generator\InvalidArgumentException` being thrown.
  [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator::$simple` was removed. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#$type` is now a `null|Laminas\Code\Generator\TypeGenerator`: was a
  `string` before. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- `Laminas\Code\Generator` type-hints are now always prefixed with the namespace separator `\`.
  [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- `Laminas\Code\Reflection\ParameterReflection#getType()` was renamed 
  to `Laminas\Code\Reflection\ParameterReflection#detectType()` in order to not override the inherited
  `ReflectionParameter#getType()`, introduced in PHP 7. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)

### Added

- PHP 7 return type hints generation support via `Laminas\Code\Generator\MethodGenerator#setReturnType()`.
  [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- PHP 7 scalar type hints generation support via `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#setType()` and 
  `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#getType()`. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- PHP 5.6 variadic arguments support via `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#setVariadic()` and
  `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#getVariadic()`. [zendframwork/zend-code#30](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/30)
- Generation of methods returning by reference is supported via `Laminas\Code\Generator\ParameterGenerator#setReturnsReference()`.

## 2.6.1 - 2015-11-24

### Added

- Nothing.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

### Removed

- Nothing.

### Fixed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#25](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/25) changes the
  `doctrine/common` suggestion/dev-dependency to the more specific
  `doctrine/annotations` package (which is what is actually consumed).

## 2.6.0 - 2015-11-18

### Added

- [zendframwork/zend-code#12](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/12) adds the ability to
  generate arrays using either long/standard syntax (`array(...)`) or short
  syntax (`[...]`). This can be accomplished by setting the value type to
  `ValueGenerator::TYPE_ARRAY_SHORT` instead of using `TYPE_ARRAY`.
  Additionally, you can use `TYPE_ARRAY_LONG` instead of `TYPE_ARRAY`; the two
  constants are synonyms.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#11](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/11) adds the ability to
  generate interfaces via the new class `Laminas\Code\Generator\InterfaceGenerator`.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

### Removed

- Nothing.

### Fixed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#20](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/20) updates
  the laminas-eventmanager dependency to `^2.6|^3.0`, and changes its
  internal usage to use the `triggerEventUntil()` signature.

## 2.5.3 - 2015-11-18

### Added

- Nothing.

### Deprecated

- Nothing.

### Removed

- [zendframwork/zend-code#10](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/10) removes a
  development dependency on zendframework/zend-version.
- [zendframwork/zend-code#23](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-code/pull/23) removes a
  requirement on laminas/laminas-stdlib. This results in a slight change in
  `Laminas\Code\Generator\ValueGenerator`: `setConstants()` and `getConstants()`
  can now receive/emit *either* an SPL `ArrayObject` or
  `Laminas\Stdlib\ArrayObject`. Since these are functionally equivalent, however,
  you will experience no change in behavior.

### Fixed

- Nothing.
