Release 3.0.0 (to remove usage of abandoned laminas/laminas-loader)

Please release 3.0.0

I don't think this will happen anytime soon, as there are currently other considerations and discussions underway that also affect this component.

@froschdesign Can you explain to what extent a new release of laminas-http is blocked by the linked discussions (retirement of MVC) ?

I would say that, as things stand at the moment, it looks that we will no longer need this component in future. We will remove laminas-http from other components like laminas-feed, laminas-authentication or laminas-navigation, which means laminas-http is obsolete.
(Btw. this is a good topic for our next meeting.)

But maybe you can describe what your current problem is. If use laminas-mvc then you have the same problem with laminas-config because this component is also abandoned. Or if you use a component which uses laminas-http, like laminas-navigation, then the work must be done there.

We use only mezzio-laminasrouter, which means that we indirectly have the abandoned laminas-loader as a dependency in our project. This results in warnings and we would like to get rid of it soon without completely rebuilding the whole routing.

Releasing the finished fix in laminas-http would resolve this.

Please run an update via Composer: https://github.com/laminas/laminas-router/releases/tag/3.15.0

[alex-jonas]

Thanks a lot 👍
However, we still have a problem because mezzio-laminasrouter also requires laminas-psr7bridge requires laminas-http.

Correct, but this still does not mean that we have to invest further work in this component. The next step would therefore be to check if laminas-psr7bridge can be replaced. The laminas-router expects a request interface from laminas-stdlib and not from laminas-http to match a route.
Any help is welcome! 👍🏻

Is it thinkable to release 3.0 with what we already have? (And future work can be part of 4.0)

@marclaporte

And future work can be part of 4.0

As I wrote above, I currently see no need to invest further work in this component. Work is already underway on a new major version of laminas-router: https://github.com/laminas/laminas-router/milestone/3
