Starting point development

[eschricker]

One of the main questions from my side is where to start development.
The development branch is the current version 1.x. There is also a branch called 2.0.

We have to decide where to start.

At a first glance, my conclusion:
The development branch has received updates in the past, while the 2.0 branch is two years old.
I think we should analyze if the 2.0 branch contains changes that we should migrate to develop.

Also, we need to decide which pull requests from origin repository we want to take over. It would be great if someone could go through these and list which ones to use. Then we can share the work to migrate and integrate the pull requests.

Further: we should strive for high compatibility in the 1.x version line and defer any refactoring/major changes for 2.x to smooth the transition from the old package.

very much agree!

Will we do the 2.x on PHP 8+?

Might be, right now I don't have any exact ideas, but might be feasible

For looks good, we can keep the 1. x branches in <8 and 2 for 8+.

In that way, we'll support both sides of the community.
