ETA for DBAL 2.6

[stof]

The master branch of DBAL contains a bunch of unreleased features, including the new JsonType merged nearly 1 year ago.
What is the ETA for release DBAL 2.6.0 ?

[Ocramius]

I think it's mostly https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A2.6

Important bits are MySQL 5.7 support (because MySQL has awesome BC policies, sigh), which wasn't yet evaluated, and things that are marked as "feature/improvement". Fixes can be applied also later, but I think these will be the last "features" for the 2.x branch.

👍 I will try to work through these open issues in the next few days if I find time.

I'd say it's important to reconsider the JSON type naming before releasing 2.6. See #2723

2.6 doesn't seem to be backwards-compatible with 2.5 considering that the minimum requirement is PHP 7 so perhaps a major release (3.0.0) is more appropriate according to semver?

Is there going to be a migration guide for 2.5.x to the new release, or are the changes not significant enough for that to be considered?

I am in the middle of migrating an application from PHP 5.3 to PHP 7.0 so compatibility will be a very useful thing to know.

@RinkAttendant6 bumping dependency requirements does not count as a BC break, and that is even specified in semver (semver/semver#148)

See UPGRADE.md

You'll need 7.1 ;-)

You'll need 7.1 ;-)

According to https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/blob/master/composer.json#L15, it still says 7.0 but I assume this will be bumped to 7.1 upon release?

In that case I guess I'll have to stick with 2.5.x, can you tell me if there's any issues with using 2.5.x on PHP 7.0?

[Ocramius]

None at all

Any idea how far away we are from a 2.6? I'm in need of some of the goodness merged in a while back?

[Tobion]

DBAL 2.6 is released so this issue can be closed. @Ocramius please merge doctrine/orm#6580 and make a patch release so we can actually use DBAL 2.6

[Ocramius]

Release of ORM 2.6 is probably happening next week anyway.
