PHP Monitor 25 will use a new numbering scheme, following the format:
25.06 = 25 . 06 . 0
M m p
(Minor, minor and patch.)
So what was supposed to be PHP Monitor 7.3 will now be version 25, with
the minor version number decided by the release month.
The cut-off date for PHP Monitor 7.2 is currently 2025-11-30, so I have
time but I'd prefer to have two releases out this year:
- One release migrating to the new numbering scheme
- One release with full support for macOS 26
Since I plan on only doing maintenance releases with no patches except
when bugs pop up, the major/minor version notation combination should
suffice.
With this release, the minimum supported version of macOS will become
macOS Ventura 13.5.
That means that support is dropped for Monterey and Ventura's older
builds. Since Homebrew is also changing with built-in service management
I think it's time to drop support for these older versions of macOS,
which I no longer intend to test for.
Older versions of PHP Monitor will, of course, remain functional, but
since Homebrew is an ever-changing thing, I cannot guarantee nothing
will break in those older versions with the newer API.
In order to make this possible, I've added a new `sync()` method to the
Shellable protocol, which now should allow us to run shell commands
synchronously. Back to basics, as this was how *all* commands were
run in legacy versions of PHP Monitor.
The advantage here is that there is now a choice. Previously, you'd
have to use the `system()` helper that I added.
Usage of that helper is now discouraged, as is the synchronous
shell method, but it may be useful for some methods where waiting
for the outcome of the output is required.
(Important: the `system()` helper is still required when determining
what the preferred terminal is during the initialization of the
`Paths` class.)
