1.8.2

Packaging metadata cleanup

Maintenance release. No functional or API changes — packaging hygiene only.

Changed

• Declared the package's MIT license in composer.json so it appears on Packagist.
• Removed the hardcoded version field from composer.json; the version is now derived from the git tag, so future releases are tag-only and can no longer drift out of sync.
• README no longer carries version-specific content — the dependency list and per-version changelog now point to composer.json and the Releases page (PR 36).

All changes from 1.8.1 (PHP 8.2/8.4 deprecation fixes) are included.
