Released Rector 2.6.6

File selection

--filter option to narrow processed files (#8419)

New --filter option keeps only files whose path matches all given patterns. Repeat the option to require several patterns at once, handy for scoping a run to a subtree or a naming convention without editing config paths.

vendor/bin/rector process src --filter Controller --filter Admin

Before: process every file under the given paths. After: process only files matching all --filter patterns.
