Bug alert: composer_version with xdebug

If you're using composer_version in your .ddev/config.yaml and trying to run ddev xdebug on, it will fail. For now, you can just remove the composer_version line and use the default composer v1 to solve this. It will be fixed in another point release. Thanks to patient bug reporters!

Installation/Upgrade

See the installation instructions for details, but it's easy:

  • Please stop all projects first, this does no harm: ddev poweroff
  • macOS Homebrew and Linux Linuxbrew: brew install drud/ddev/ddev or just brew upgrade drud/ddev/ddev ). (You may need a brew update for homebrew to find the new release.)
  • Windows: Use choco upgrade -y ddev to get this one, or download the ddev_windows_installer below.
  • Linux and macOS with the install_ddev.sh script: curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drud/ddev/master/scripts/install_ddev.sh && bash install_ddev.sh
  • And anywhere, you can just download the tarball or zipball, untar or unzip it, and place the executable in your path where it belongs.
  • Consider ddev delete images after upgrading to free up disk space used by previous docker image versions. This does no harm.

Key changes in v1.16.3

  • For the big stuff in v1.16, please read v1.16.0 release notes
  • Xdebug 3.0.1 is included with PHP 7.2/7.3/7.4/8.0! It's much faster and has been getting rave reviews
  • PHPMyAdmin (ddev launch -p) now logs into the database as the root user instead of the db user

Why did we need a release for Xdebug 3? It was because the upstream deb.sury.org packages made their planned shift to xdebug 3 for PHP7.2/3/4. Before long, all ddev users who used webserver_extra_packages or did an apt-get install in a custom Dockerfile would have been seeing significant breakage, since the Xdebug config is completely different. And also, of course, people have been looking forward to a faster Xdebug 3.

Caveats

The configuration for Xdebug 3 is different from Xdebug 2. This doesn't affect the vast majority of people, but if you have custom PHP configuration in your project that changes xdebug.*, it will need to be updated. See the Xdebug 2->3 Upgrade Guide if this is you. Almost nobody needs to touch anything, as ddev already chooses the right config for the right Xdebug version.
