Added

  • Added rector/rector as a dev dependency along with test:rector, fix:rector, and fix:standards Composer scripts.
  • Added phpstan/phpstan-deprecation-rules to surface deprecation usage during static analysis.
  • Added php-stubs/wordpress-stubs for accurate WordPress type information in PHPStan.
  • Added roave/security-advisories to block installation of dependencies with known security advisories.
  • Added void return type to activation and deactivation hook closures.

Changed

  • Bumped minimum PHP version from 8.3 to 8.4.
  • Bumped infinum/eightshift-libs from ^11.0.4 to ^12.3.4 (major upgrade).
  • Bumped infinum/eightshift-coding-standards from ^3.0.0 to ^4.0.2 (major upgrade).
  • Bumped dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1.
  • Switched object instantiation to PHP 8.4 "new without parentheses" syntax: (new Foo())->bar() → new Foo()->bar().
  • Switched action callbacks to first-class callable syntax: [$this, 'method'] → $this->method(...).
  • PHPStan now scans the entire project root (with explicit excludes) and bootstraps WordPress stubs.
  • PHPCS testVersion raised from 8.3- to 8.4-.
  • Prettier printWidth increased from 180 to 300.

Removed

  • Removed redundant @return void PHPDoc tags now covered by native return types.

  • Removed pestphp/pest-plugin from Composer allow-plugins.
  • Removed PHPStan ignoreErrors block (no longer needed).

Migration guide

Upgrading from 6.x to 7.0.0 is a breaking change. Follow these steps:

  1. PHP version — ensure your server runs PHP 8.4+. Update your composer.json require.php constraint to ">=8.4".
  2. Dependencies — bump in your project composer.json:
    • infinum/eightshift-libs: ^12.0
    • infinum/eightshift-coding-standards: ^4.0
    • Then run composer update.
  3. PHP 8.4 syntax — if you maintain a plugin based on a previous boilerplate version, run Rector to migrate object instantiation and callable patterns: 
    composer require --dev rector/rector
composer fix:rector
  4. PHPStan config — add the deprecation rules include and WordPress stubs bootstrap to your phpstan.neon.dist: 
    includes:
  - vendor/phpstan/phpstan-deprecation-rules/rules.neon
parameters:
  bootstrapFiles:
    - %rootDir%/../../php-stubs/wordpress-stubs/wordpress-stubs.php
  5. PHPCS config — raise testVersion to 8.4- in phpcs.xml.dist.
  6. Strauss — re-run composer prefix-namespaces after updating to rebuild the prefixed vendor directory against the new eightshift-libs major.
  7. Verify — run composer test (Rector, PHPCS, PHPStan) and resolve any remaining issues before deploying.
