Framework Documentation - Input Package

Updating from v2 to v3

Release 3.0.0 raises the PHP requirement and reformats the codebase. No public or protected
method signature changed, so code written against 2.x keeps working on PHP 8.1.

At a glance

	v2 (2.0.4)	v3 (3.0.0)
PHP	^7.2.5	^8.1.0
Public API	—	unchanged
Coding style	Joomla Coding Standard	PSR-12

Minimum supported PHP version raised

All Framework packages now require PHP 8.1 or newer.

No API changes

Every method on Input, Cookie, Files and Json has the same signature in 3.0.0 as in 2.0.0.
The deprecated Cookie::set() signature described in the
v3 to v4 guide is still present and still emits a deprecation notice.

Codebase converted to PSR-12

The package was reformatted from the Joomla Coding Standard to PSR-12. This touches nearly every
line and changes no behaviour, so a git diff between 2.x and 3.x is almost entirely noise. Use
git diff -w when looking for real changes.
