May 2024 (version 1.80)
Welcome to the May 2024 release of PHP Tools for Visual Studio! There are a lots of internal improvements, enhanced performance, lower memory usage, updates to PHP stubs, PHPDoc sytaxes, and more.
Code Analysis and IntelliSense
- Respects
/** @ignore $variablename */so if the$variablenameis unused, the problem is not reported. - Supports more complex conditional return type, i.e.
@return ($name is class-string<T> ? T : bool)(#538). - Fixes false unreachable code warning (#556).
- Inline suggestion after
namespace. - Diagnostic for possibly wrong
foreachvariables. - Override dignostic respects possible
class_aliasof the type hints. - Override dignostic underlines trait use, it the trait introduces an incompatible method.
- Type inferring improvements.
- Handling some invalid PHPDoc type annotations.
Code Actions
- New code action to change
definetoconstif applicable. - Code action to fix invalid casing of
stringPHPDoc type hint. - And more!
Rename Refactorings
This update adds correct rename refactoring for function/class/constant aliases, and for generic template arguments including @type imports and aliases. Correct rename for callbacks and symbols in PHPDoc comments have been implemented as well.
Rename refactoring has been cleaned up and partially reimplemented in general.
Thanks to these internal chages, it will be now possible to introduce rename refactoring for named arguments and namespaces.
Improvements
- Performance improvements.
- Memory use optimizations.
Known Issues
- Closing project/solution may cause a memory leak (happens in previous versions as well). Workaround: After closing a larger PHP project it is recommended to close and re-oopen Visual Studio.
