This release has two main focus points. We invested a lot of time to improve the guides feature, which is still under heavy development, and php 8.1 support.

php version drops.

Last release supporting php 7.2 and 7.3

Guides

• Render external uml diagrams. you can now reference to external puml files to render a diagram in your guides.
• Improved memory usage
• Improved ReStructuredText support.

php 8.1

phpDocumentor has now support for php 8.1 elements. Because of some external dependencies we were not able yet to support phpDocumentor running on php 8.1.

• Enum support
• read only properties
• return type never
• final constants
