Improvements 🔧

Dive into details about this release on PHPStan's blog: PHPStan 2.2: Unsealed Array Shapes, Safer Array Keys, and More!. It explains all the changes and the motivation behind them.

Major new features 🚀

• Unsealed array shapes (#5501), #13565, #8438, #11494, #12110, #14032
• New types: decimal-int-string and non-decimal-int-string (#5279)
• New config parameter: reportUnsafeArrayStringKeyCasting
• Check constants in parameters (#5256), #12850
  • New error identifiers:
    • argument.exclusiveConstants
    • argument.invalidConstant
    • argument.bitmaskNotAllowed
• Detect named arguments whose parameters are renamed in subtypes (phpstan/phpstan-src@4c1a2b9), #7434, #5279
  • New error identifier argument.parameterRenamedInSubtype

Bleeding edge 🔪

• Sealed array shapes are truly sealed
  • Array shape like array{a: int, b: string} does not allow for extra keys and does not accept general arrays

If you want to see the shape of things to come and adopt bleeding edge features early, you can include this config file in your project's phpstan.neon:

includes:
	- vendor/phpstan/phpstan/conf/bleedingEdge.neon
