6.1.0

This release was possible thanks to a Psalm support contract!

This release greatly improves multithreaded mode, fixing some nasty issues and greatly improving efficiency, thanks to efficient task scheduling powered by amphp/parallel (& some custom code to allow usage of copy-on-write optimizations with forks instead of spawning new processes).

This release also adds a runtime check to prevent Psalm from running on Linux systems where VM overcommitting is disabled: Psalm makes heavy use of VM overcommitting (specifically during forking in multithreaded mode) to greatly reduce RAM usage and improve performance.
Note that in the vast majority of Linux systems, VM overcommitting is already enabled by default.

Psalm v6

This is the first release of Psalm v6!

Users are encouraged to switch to Psalm v6 right away, as v5 is not supported anymore.

Also announcing Psalm's new support model: you can support Psalm development by requesting a support contract from Daniil Gentili, the only active maintainer of Psalm.

Support contracts can cover full integration of Psalm into existing codebases, support for Psalm issues and development of additional Psalm features.

See here » for info, pricing and contact information.

Main highlights of Psalm v6:

• PHP 8.4 support
• Amp v3 support
• PHP-Parser v5 support
• Fully overhauled dictionaries, for much more accurate and always up to date signatures for PHP and extension functions and methods, and much simpler PHP version upgrades.
• ignoreInternalFunctionFalseReturn and ignoreInternalFunctionNullReturn are now false by default: this means Psalm now warns when a false/null return type of a native function is not explicitly checked.
• Modernization of the codebase for higher performance.
• Many other bugfixes and performance improvements.

Plugin authors should consult the changelog for info about BC-breaking changes.
