Changes ⌚

• AbstractFileSystemRector was dropped and replaced by FileNode, this was a crappy part of Rector, that split node-based refatoring and file-based; now the logic is simplified to essential code, and to workwith file, we can use FileNode
• [#4510] [TypeDeclaration] We switched types from string "int" fully to @phpstan types new IntegerType()
• [#4513] Composer v2 was released, so we put it right into our GitHub Actions CI and cut install time to 50 %

Removed 🧹

• [#4451] [DynamicTypedAnalysis] Very narrow package with lack of practise didn't get any feedback. As unfinished and better suitable for tombstoning, this part was dropped to keep Rector's focus on automated refactoring
• [#4521] [Decouple] This had only 1 rule, it was hard to configure and use - the set was dropped, better use PHPStorm for local refactoring

They Write about Rector

• @freekmurze made practical 4-min video about upgrading to PHP 8
