2.0.0

This major release is a massive rework of the internal implementation details
of BetterReflection.

Improvements

Version 2.0.0 provides a massive performance boost when using the
new Roave\BetterReflection\BetterReflection kernel as an entry point
for using the library.

The minimum supported PHP version is now 7.1.0, which allows for
a much cleaner API definition: we added nullable hints to our own
API wherever applicable.

The compatibility with the ext-reflection
API is also almost complete, excluding some scenarios that would
forcefully require class autoloading.

Among the many new implemented features, we now support:

• Property/Method accessors
• Start/End line analysis for defined symbols
• PHP 7.1 nullable types
• PHP 7.1 iterable type declarations
• PHP 7.2 object type declarations
• PHP 7.1 const visibility support
• Monkey-patching classes on the fly via hijacked autoloader
• Immediate/inherited constants/methods/properties lookup
• PHP 4.x constructor detection
• Constant expression value resolution
• Closure reflection
• Anonymous class reflection
• Internal class parameter default value reflection (through stubs)
• Retrieving AST nodes for each reflection

BC Breaks

Most of the generally used API was not touched, but a lot of internal
components were completely rewritten to address design and performance
issues. Please make sure that you read
the upgrade notes.

1.2.0

This release introduces two new source locator classes, which are very helpful if you analyze directory trees that are not controlled by your autoloader:

• BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\FileIteratorSourceLocator, which, given
  an iterator of .php files, will be able to find classes, functions, and so
  on in that set.
• BetterReflection\SourceLocator\Type\DirectoriesSourceLocator, which, given
  a set of directories, will allow reflecting .php files in those directories.
