phpfmt v0.1.1 — A couple of bug fixes

This is a minor release that fixes a few issues.

phpfmt v0.1.0 — First Public Beta 🎉

Overview

After ten years of gradual evolution—and an especially intense sprint over the past few months—we’re thrilled to tag v0.1.0. This is the first public, versioned snapshot of a project that began as a naïvely simple PHP script and has matured into a robust, Go‑based tool.

See the README for more information about phpfmt.

Philosophy & Inspiration

A constant source of inspiration has been Go’s own gofmt. Robert Griesemer’s insistence on “one obvious way” to format code has shaped our thinking about configuration and defaults. We aim to offer the same predictability to the PHP ecosystem.

“Write it one way, and let the tool handle the rest.”

Not Set in Stone

v0.1.0 marks a milestone, not a monument. Our long‑term ambition is to crystallise this project into an authoritative PHP standard, but we’re not there—yet.

Thanks 🙌

Special thanks to Robert Griesemer, author of gofmt, whose work continues to inspire us.
