2.6.0

What's new since 2.5.0

Highlights

• Aligned the documentation with the code, tidied source comments, and added a security policy. @AlexSkrypnyk (#267)
  Copying the documented filename_pattern default produced colliding filenames, because the README and behat.yml.dist showed lowercase {datetime:u} (microseconds, which render as 000000 for an integer timestamp) instead of the real {datetime:U} Unix timestamp, and the custom-information example called an addInfo() method that does not exist rather than appendInfo(). The info_types default, the {step_name} casing rule and the URL token examples are also corrected to match what the code actually produces, the documented Chromium debugging endpoint now binds to 127.0.0.1 instead of the whole local network, and the project gains a SECURITY.md reporting policy.

• [#264] Added a tag and an environment variable to disable animated screenshots. @AlexSkrypnyk (#266)
  With animation.enabled: true there was no way to exempt an individual scenario, and animation roughly doubles wall time because it forces a full-page capture after every passed step - one 215-step scenario measured 1m53s without animation against 3m43s with it, producing a 58MB GIF. A scenario or feature can now carry @screenshots:animated:skip to opt out, and BEHAT_SCREENSHOT_ANIMATION_SKIP disables animation for an entire run without touching feature files or configuration. Scopes resolve most-specific first, so a feature-level opt-out can be overridden by a scenario-level opt-in.

• Updated scaffold to 1.2.0 and fixed the untested dependency lower bounds. @AlexSkrypnyk (#263)
  The declared lower bounds had never been installed or tested, so CI's new lowest dependency dimension - now running both dependency sets across PHP 8.2 to 8.5 - failed immediately on floors that could not resolve. The runtime floors are raised to versions the suite actually passes on, most notably behat/behat from ^3.13.0 to ^3.32.0, and behat/mink is now declared in require rather than relied on arriving transitively through friends-of-behat/mink-extension. Contributor setup also moves out of README.md into a new CONTRIBUTING.md, with the documented unit-test command corrected to composer test and the headless browser instructions installing Chromium rather than ChromeDriver.

Other changes

• Update all dependencies @renovate[bot] (#265)

• Capped 'dvdoug/behat-code-coverage' below 5.4 to keep PHP 8.2 support. @AlexSkrypnyk (#268)
  dvdoug/behat-code-coverage 5.4.0 raised its own requirements to PHP ^8.3 and phpunit/php-code-coverage ^12.3, so all 8 CI jobs failed at composer install before a single test ran. Because that was a semver MINOR bump it slipped past the existing major-update guard, so renovate.json now caps the package at <5.4 to keep PHP 8.2 support. It is a development dependency, so nothing changes for consumers of the package.
