Why do we want to drop 6.4? I don't think there is a big burden to support it and it it a huge benefit for adoption of we keep it. Or am I missing something? |
If you're not able to upgrade to a non-LTS version of Symfony, you will probably not be able to use Symfony AI, which is not stable yet (and probably not before the release of 7.4 LTS), you will probably not be able to upgrade Symony AI frequently which is going to be needed as the space is changing fast. |
yes, but I think this is due to the fact that not all Symfony components allow 7.4|8 ? just my guess |
- Update all composer.json files to require Symfony ^7.3|^8.0 - Update symfony/type-info to ^7.3|^8.0 - Adjust GitHub Actions test matrix: - Replace Symfony 6.4 test with Symfony 7.4 LTS - Add explicit Symfony 8.0 test - Update SYMFONY_REQUIRE baseline to >=7.3 - Remove Symfony 6.4 compatibility code: - Remove unnecessary try-catch blocks for JsonException - Replace custom jsonMockResponseFromFile helper with built-in JsonMockResponse::fromFile - Clean up compatibility comments

No, it's because you're pinning to unstable Symfony branches while requesting stable dependencies. |
|
Ok, so we can only merge this, once 7.4 and 8.0 are released? |
|
No, you'll have to lower the minimum stability to dev. Either globally for the project (as we do on symfony/symfony) or on those two CI jobs. |
|
👎 from me (at least until 7.4 is out). This will change a one-week proof-of-concept to a bigger "upgrade symfony" project for many companies – assuming that companies prefer LTS (yet are fine running |
