Full Changelog: 2.3.1...2.3.2

Release 2.3.1

Added a fix for country validation made by @julesdohmen

2.3.0

• fix: integer overflow on 32 bit architectures (#137)
• chore: update github actions to run tests on PHP 8.X versions
• feat: migrate composer to 2.0
• chore: Informing users about problem validating UK VAT ID's (#126)
• chore: Replace abandoned Sensiolabs security checker

SSL/TLS support now enabled

Because the VIES service has shifted to SSL/TLS we needed to adapt support for it ASAP.

In this version we now support SSL/TLS for VIES:

• Heatbeat: Verification if the service is up
• Vies: The client that connects to the service

Much gratitude to @gregsmirnov-av for reporting this

Release 2.1.14 - Welcome to Northern Ireland

With Brexit being final, we like to welcome Northern Ireland to the VAT validation service. A huge thanks for @jonathanmaron to provide the update to make this possible.

The country code for Northern Ireland is XI, but the original VAT ID's remain the same as they were for the UK.

Release 2.1.13

This release was long overdue but because of work, life and Covid-19 a delay was unfortunately not preventable.

With this release we have a few new features and some bug fixes:

• Using the command line for checking VAT
• Full support for proxy services
• Allowing to use VIES test codes
• Allowing VAT for Bulgarian foreign natural persons

This release was made possible thanks to the help of @jellynoone and @fabianwelzer. Great work folks 👍 and thank you for your contributions 🙇!
