PHPStan 1.0 Upgrade ⛺️

This Rector version depends on PHPStan more then ever. We're using its php-parser (many of them actually), class name visitor resolver and static/this/self types. That's why we had to take time to make sure the upgrade to PHPStan 1.0 is stable.

• [PHPStan 1.0] upgrade deprecated getNativeMethods() method (#1069)
• Improve self/static/parent object reference (#1071)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Make SelfType, StaticType and ThisType use ClassReflection over string (#1072)
• SelfType and StaticType are now handled in ObjectTypeSpecifier (#1077)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Use processNodes() over processNodeStmts() (#1111)
• [PHPStan 1.0] use selectFromArgs() for function reflectoin to get passed by reference positoins (#1113)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove sorted union types, now handled by default (#1112)
• [PHPStan 1.0] resolve FunctionReflection getFileName() from main interface (#1117)
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove ReflectionWithFilename (#1118)
• Fix issue of parsing PHP 8 sources on PHP 7.x (#1184), Thanks @ondrejmirtes!
• [PHPStan 1.0] Remove node naming visitors and re-use PHPStan ones (#1144)
• PHPStan\Reflection\ClassReflection::getFileName() now returns null|string (rectorphp/rector-src@9686861)
• PHPStan\Reflection\ClassReflection::getParentClass now returns null|class reflection (rectorphp/rector-src@1cc7dc3)
• NativeFunctionReflection has new parameter (rectorphp/rector-src@ca82769)
• Remove ClearReturnNewByReferenceRector, PHPStan cannot handle it (rectorphp/rector-src@051c751)

PHPStan 1.0-Related Changes

Class names are now available in the node itself:

-$className = $node->getAttribute(AttributeKey::CLASS_NAME);

↓

 // in case of class like
+$className = $classLike->namespacedName

 // in case of anonymous class
+$className = $classLike->name

 // or widely used method in AbstractRector
 $className = $this->getName($classLike)

Deprecated/Removed ⚰️

• [CodingStyle] Deprecate RemoveUnusedAliasRector, job rather for coding standard tool and opinonated (#1157)
• Remove FileNodeVisitor, available in AbstractRector (#1145)
• [CodeQuality] Remove FixClassCaseSensitivityNameRector, conflicting with name node removal and edge case already handled by PHPStan reports (#1160)
• remove deprecated AttributeKey::FILE_INFO const attribute (rectorphp/rector-src@8f7fea0)
• Remove dead classes (#1133)
• Remove dead classes #2, remove unused PlatformAgnosticAssertions, remove ConsoleShowOutputFormatter (#1134)
• [Defluent] Remove often-breaking set (#1062)

Attribute Keys Changes 📈

This is not about PHP 8.0 attributes, but about helper php-parser attributes that allow to store mixed data in any node.

• Move from CLASS_NODE attribute to more reliable parent node finder (#1162)
• Move from CLASS_METHOD node attribute to parent finder (#1167)
• De...

Released Rector 0.11 with Scoped and PHP 7.1 version by Default

• See full diff: 0.10.0...0.11.0

United Release of Prefixed & Downgraded Version 🚀🚀🚀

For a long time, Rector published 2 releases. It was often confusing which to use when and how they differ. Last couple of month we tried to make them as similar as possible to make transition as smooth as possible.

Since 0.11 we're moving from 2 repositories rectorphp/rector and rectorphp/rector-prefixed to just one rectorphp/rector.
This repository is downgraded to PHP 7.1 and scoped.

Read more in Prefixed Rector by Default.
