I don't know but I find this way easier:
{
"require": {
"contao/manager-bundle": "4.9.*"
},
"minimum-stability": "RC",
"prefer-stable": true
}It's easy to explain the minimum-stability and prefer-stable flags and all you have to do once the stable release is here is to remove those two lines and you're done.

Why would it use more processing time? It needs about 1.5 minutes in both cases anyway.

We don't want composer to resolve any RC version, we want it for a specific package. That's why we require them… It's also what you'll need to do in the Contao Manager, once we can install core-bundle and installation-bundle.

You won‘t get any other RC version unless there‘s one of any other dependency matching our constraints which is highly unlikely to happen.
I‘ll choose my version over the explicit one any day. Even if it might potentially load an RC of another package, it‘s still way easier to use.

Definitely 4.9.x-dev. Changing the minimum stability will affect all packages, not just the Contao ones!

It will only affect them if there's not any stable release of those packages fulfilling the ruleset. That's highly, highly unlikely.

Well yes, for the dev version of course. But what about the RC? There you can safely lower the minimum-stability to RC, without increasing the memory consumption or processing time of a composer update (too much) and without a big risk of installing release candidates of other packages.

IDK. I never have this case. 🤷♂

I have now changed it to the minimum-stability version.

- Features würd ich in Funktionen umbenennen (Denglisch)
- Die "bei neuen Versionen" könnte vielleicht auf Minor-Versionen umformuliert werden, mit einem Hinweis auf Semantic Versioning (www.semver.org).

@aschempp I have added a note about how to install it in the Contao Manager. The animated GIF is a bit quick & dirty, but hopefully sufficient ;). |

Love the GIF! ❤️ |
This adds a guide on how to install release candidates and development versions of Contao.
