Version 3.0 of this library has been 'in the works' for a long time. Myself and others have done a quite a bit of work on it about a year ago and now things are becoming more active again. Also I have joined with @prolic as maintainers as some of the original maintainers have moved on.

The goal for 3.0 was never to be fully backward compatible, but to create a library that was a bit more modern and less integrated with the zend framework. I don't believe many people are using the development branch in production, but it is functional.

The 2 version does have quite a lot of downloads (according to packagist) so I think we should ask all you to express you opinions. And now that I have restarted work on it I would like to ask you about features or specs you would insist on.

• Removed support for zf2 components. It gives cleaner code and I don't care so much about compatibility. Do you?
• Additionally support for php56 was dropped. Again I wouldn't be against dropping support for php70 too. Would you?
• Are you waiting on a v3?
• Would you use it in your existing projects?

note. we will continue to support the v2 till EOL of php56 (active support already is)

Kind regards

Additionally support for php56 was dropped. - no problem

Are you waiting on a v3? - Yes, I do

Would you use it in your existing projects? - Yes, I would

Focus on middleware and compatibility with zend-expressive would be fine

[svycka]

Removed support for zf2 components.

ok, but only if we have good reason

Additionally support for php56 was dropped.

ok, I would even preffer drop 7.0 because many that support 7.0 already upgraded or will upgrade soon to 7.1(has many good feaures like optional typehints this really hurts in 7.0)

Are you waiting on a v3?

not really, but I heard this will be focused on middleware? Most my projects still use zend-mvc so I would still expect support for zend-mvc. Also I am always interested in this kind of updates.

Would you use it in your existing projects?

of course, but only if will be possible to update(no big BC breaks that I would have to invest more than few days to update), also I still use modules that does not support zf3 packages so if we drop zf2 I may can't use yet.

[prolic]

Should we remove support for zf2 and allow zf3 only?

Should we drop support for PHP 5.6 and require PHP 7.0?

[prolic]

Should we drop support for PHP 7.0 and require PHP 7.1?

Are you waiting on a v3 of ZfcRbac?

[prolic]

Would you use it in your existing projects?
