on the dev required side of Composer Dependencies we should also consider changing the following

• cachelite from "pear/cache_lite": "1.7.16" to "pear/cache_lite": "1.7.*"
  • so we get the 1.7.x updates (when/if there are any; like the eventual php7 fix)
• dbunit from "phpunit/dbunit": "~1.3" to "phpunit/dbunit": "~1.4"
  • nothing significant in 1.4.0 but AbstractXmlDataSet now returns more information for debugging when a parse error occurs

~1.3 declares that the minimum supported version of phpunit/dbunit is 1.3.0 and allows everything newer that isn't 2.0. If we make a change that requires features only present in a newer version then the minimum constraint should be changed, otherwise there's no real gain in doing so.

Are these going to be updated before the 3.6 release?

pear/cache_lite Was updated to 1.8 to add PHP 7 support. Unfortunately they also made PHP 5.4 the minimum requirement.

It's just a dev dependency for the test environment. If we really wanted
we could add something to the Travis config to use 1.8 for PHP 5.4+ but in
reality all it does is silence a deprecation warning (note I'm not aware of
anything that actually wasn't working in the library, just deprecations
because of PHP 4 style code) so I'd say it's not an urgent thing.

The HHVM with php7 compatibility Fails on the php4 style code. That's the only issue I know of and we are not yet officially testing under that configuration.

#11334 Fixes for all mentioned libraries except simplepie because I don't think they follow SemVer so I need to look at exactly what has changed

Leaving open while simplepie is checked

simplepie/simplepie 1.3.1 1.4.2 A simple Atom/RSS parsing library for PHP

Its a bit weird. There web site at http://simplepie.org/ only refers to 1.3.1 and that is the only version that can be downloaded from the web site. Although there is a later version available from their github repository.

I cant see anything on either site about semver

@wilsonge simplepie?

vesion is 1.4.2: https://packagist.org/packages/simplepie/simplepie

See @wilsonge comment - its not about the version number

Its a bit weird. There web site at http://simplepie.org/ only refers to 1.3.1

@brianteeman simplepie now lists only 1.4.2 on the website
There is a small change log in the github releases https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/releases

• Removed trailing and leading whitespaces on XML feed content because dom/xml reader will throw an error is there's a space at the beginning.
• fixed inconsistent hash result in SimplePie_Item->get_id() (the returned id's have changed)
• Includes other minor bug fixes and improved support for microformats feeds
• fixes an IRI parsing bug
• replaces regex used to find rel links with xpath
• more cleanly seperates microformats discovery and parsing when php-mf2 is not included.
• Don't trim compressed data
• Fix for PHP 7.1
• typo seperate -> separate
• Refactored UTF-8 conversion error message
• Error message when XML or PCRE extensions missing
  • The XML extension is not loaded by default on PHP7. Relevant to have the reason of failure in the error message
• PHP 5.2 is not supported anymore
• Use saveHTML(node) (was: Sanitize: superfluous entities
• added command line support

glad to hear they finally updated

It may have taken a little bit of prodding ;-) I agree it's good that they finally updated

I have opened previously this issue.
Just to know, 1.5 is the latest version for now.

Also seems the class is auto-loaded without reason....can anyone else can confirm that?
