PackageVersions Deprecated
A Composer addon providing efficient access to installed packages' version numbers with Composer 1 and 2 compatibility.
What is PackageVersions Deprecated?
Package Versions is a Composer addon that provides efficient runtime access to version numbers of installed PHP packages. It solves the problem of retrieving package versions programmatically while maintaining compatibility with both Composer 1 and Composer 2 on PHP 7+ environments. The project serves as a transitional solution for developers who need Composer 2 support but cannot yet upgrade to PHP 7.4.
PHP developers working with Composer dependency management who need to access package versions at runtime and are transitioning from Composer 1 to Composer 2 or maintaining legacy PHP 7+ applications.
Developers choose this package because it provides a fully-compatible drop-in replacement for ocramius/package-versions with extended Composer 2 support, enabling seamless tooling upgrades without breaking existing code while offering a clear migration path to Composer's native functionality.
