All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
3.4.1 - 2017-09-18
- PHP 5.3 style cleanup.
3.4.0 - 2017-09-10
- #1071: Services auto-wiring
- #1054: PSR-11 support for helper containers.
- Support for modern PHPUnit.
- #1056: Make Gherkin aware of the base path so it can filter correctly
- #1069: Rework argument validators
- #1054: Deprecated usage
of
Interop\Container
. Versions prior to1.2
are not supported, but1.2
is a non-breaking change. If you depend heavily onInterop
, upgrade to1.2
, which is still supported by helper containers. Aim to migrate toPsr
before Behat 4.0 shows up on horizon - PHP versions prior to 5.6 and HHVM were dropped from CI build matrix. It doesn't mean that we'll start using features of 5.6 yet, it just means we don't get out of our way to support 5.3 and 5.4 anymore. In 4.0 support will be completely dropped.
