FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Upgrade Guide
Upgrade to 3.2. from 3.1.
The main changes in the new version have occurred in the way property values are stored. Now each property can have more than one value. In this regard, the attribute value in the Property object was replaced with the attribute values.
Also, values are now presented not as a string, but as an Value object. This allowed us to save along with each value not only its string representation but also a list of its qualifiers. Detailed information on what qualifiers is can be found here.
