Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.

- 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.

Examples
SemVer Rules
Major Changes (Breaking Changes)
- Removed methods/functions
- Incompatible signatures (required parameters added, types changed)
- Removed classes/interfaces
- Modified/removed constants
- Restrictive visibility changes
Minor Changes (Backward Compatible)
- New methods/functions/classes
- Optional parameters added
- New implemented interfaces
- New constants
Patch Changes
- PHPDoc modifications without signature impact
- Internal changes without public API impact
Pre-1.0.0 SemVer Behavior
By default, for versions before 1.0.0 (e.g., 0.x.y), this tool follows a relaxed SemVer approach:
- Breaking changes (normally major) are treated as minor changes
- New features remain minor changes
- Bug fixes remain patch changes
This reflects the common practice that pre-1.0.0 versions are in development and breaking changes are expected.
Strict SemVer Mode
Use the --strict-semver flag to enforce standard SemVer rules even for pre-1.0.0 versions:
PHPDoc Analysis
The tool prioritizes native PHP signature analysis but uses PHPDoc as fallback:
- If PHP signature is typed → uses the signature
- If only PHPDoc is typed → uses PHPDoc
- In case of conflict → logs a warning and uses the signature
