The last release was v3.0.11 in April 2025, before the remaining betas and every RC. Four things have drifted since; the first one stops a generated extension working at all.

Generated extensions can't run static analysis

boilerplate/skeleton/extension/phpstan.neon sets checkMissingIterableValueType: false, a parameter removed in PHPStan 2. flarum/phpstan ^2.0 installs PHPStan ^2.1, so composer analyse:phpstan on a freshly scaffolded extension fails before analysing anything:

Invalid configuration:
Unexpected item 'parameters › checkMissingIterableValueType'.

Verified by running PHPStan 2 against that exact config in a real 2.x extension — and verified fixed the same way (13 files analysed, no configuration error).

Skeleton asks for the wrong jest config

@flarum/jest-config: ^1.0.1, where core 2.x uses ^2.0.0. v1 also depends on flarum-webpack-config ^2.0.1, which contradicts the ^3.0.0 the skeleton specifies in the same file.

Worth noting: the upgrade command already sets ^2.0.0, so an extension upgraded to 2.x got this right while a newly created one did not.

The upgrade command still writes beta constraints

flarum/core, flarum/testing and flarum/phpstan were pinned to ^2.0.0-beta — correct when written, but it now leaves every upgraded extension asking for a beta of a line that has reached RC.

These become ^2.0.0. Since 2.0 is still prerelease, the command now also sets minimum-stability: "beta" and prefer-stable: true on the extension's composer.json, so the constraint resolves while preferring stable releases for everything that has one.

PHP floor

The upgrade command rewrote require.php to ^8.2. Core 2.x requires ^8.3.

Verification

yarn test — 22 suites, 176 tests, Prettier clean; tsc --noEmit clean. The PHPStan change was checked against a real extension's installed PHPStan 2 rather than by reading.

The skeleton's minimum-stability stays dev — deliberate, and unchanged here.

Generated extensions could not run static analysis at all. The skeleton
still set checkMissingIterableValueType, which PHPStan 2 removed, so
'composer analyse:phpstan' died with 'Invalid configuration' on a
freshly created extension — flarum/phpstan ^2.0 installs PHPStan ^2.1.

The skeleton also asked for @flarum/jest-config ^1.0.1. Core 2.x uses
^2.0.0, and v1 pulls in flarum-webpack-config ^2.0.1 against the ^3.0.0
the skeleton specifies. The upgrade command already got this right,
so an extension upgraded to 2.x was correct while a new one was not.

The upgrade command pinned flarum/core, flarum/testing and
flarum/phpstan to ^2.0.0-beta, written when 2.0 was in beta and now
leaving upgraded extensions asking for a beta of a line that has since
reached RC. Those become ^2.0.0, with minimum-stability beta and
prefer-stable so the constraint still resolves while 2.0 is prerelease.
Its PHP floor also said ^8.2; core 2.x requires ^8.3.
