A maintenance release laser-focused on type safety. Static analysis is now mandatory in CI, the codebase ships richer native and PHPDoc types, and the Tracy DI panel got a cleaner Latte rewrite. No behavioral changes – just a sturdier foundation for everything built on top.

• Native types – tightened parameter and return types across Compiler, ContainerLoader, ServiceDefinition and friends
• ContainerPanel – Tracy panel template rewritten with n:attributes for noticeably cleaner Latte syntax
• PHPStan-clean codebase – wide-ranging cleanup across DI internals so the whole tree passes strict analysis
• Richer PHPDoc – improved @param, @return and class descriptions across Compiler, Container, ContainerBuilder, Resolver, Helpers, definitions and extensions, giving IDEs and static analyzers far more to work with
• Better generic types – sharpened PHPDoc generics in autowiring, container builder, definitions and resolver

• support for PHP 8.5
• optimized global function calls
• used generics for Container::createInstance() (#323)

• implemented support for lazy services in PHP 8.4
• Resolver: restrictions for named parameters have been removed
• Resolver: triggers error when reference is called with arguments

• support for PHP 8.4
• md5 replaced with xxHash
• fixed ReflectionParameter::getDefaultValue() error #315

• Container: refactoring
• NeonAdapter: resolving of constants and enums moved here from filterArguments() (BC break)
• Container::getServiceType() ignores dynamically added services (BC break)
• Container::getByType() fixed cooperation with dynamic factory #314
• Resolver: better exception when normalizeEntity() fails due to service replacement
• Revert "LocatorDefinition: deprecated support for create($name) method (BC break)"

• PhpGenerator: DTO and DateTime are not suspicious objects #306 #308
• NeonAdapter: fixed to string conversion #307
• Compiler::loadDefinitionsFromConfig() expands parameters (after 3399312)

• requires PHP 8.1
• uses PHP 8.1 features
• Sensitive parameters are put in markers /sensitive{/ and /}/
• added support for first-class callable syntax in NEON
• SearchExtension: added 'exclude -> files'
• ServicesExtension: locator supports Statement (#294)
