I had difficulty installing the latest commit with composer

[vesper8]

For some reason just doing

composer require ryanhs/chess.php

Gets the 2017 version tagged 1.0.3

Then doing

composer require ryanhs/chess.php:dev-master

Gets the 7e57882 commit from 2019.. although you would expect it to get the very latest commit. I don't understand why it doesn't

Finally I was able to get the latest commit which doesn't have the deprecations by specifying the hash of the latest commit like so:

composer require ryanhs/chess.php:dev-master#1a09918bca199fcdb183877e2fff82183b697727

I don't understand whether that's a problem with this repo or a problem with composer. I'm using Composer version 2.1.6 2021-08-19 17:11:08

It works now though. I was needing a way to convert UCI notation to SAN.. and I got it to work thanks to this package

Thank you for your continued work on it @lovephpforever

It says Package ryanhs/chess.php is abandoned but it doesn't seem to be abandoned..

Maybe you could tag a new version in 2021 soon? : )

Thanks!

That is weird, soon I will be releasing a major version which supports the latest versions of PHP.

@lovephpforever any update on this new version? I'm also now finding myself in need of a version that supports PHP 8

It's super weird, as above, I noticed that your latest composer.json does support php 8.0, but somehow when I try to install it, it still gives me the error ryanhs/chess.php dev-master requires php ^7.1 -> your php version (8.0; overridden via config.platform, actual: 8.0.13) does not satisfy that requirement.

There's something really unusual about how this package is linked via Composer but I can't figure out what it is

I think some or all of these issues would be resolved if you tagged a new release
