In order to better support PHP 8.1 (MDL-73016) and other bug fixes, this issue is about to update all the composer dependencies to current ones. This is also part of the release process (-8 weeks to release).
- For master (4.1dev): The main point here in this issue is the update of the mink extension, switching from our fork to the upstream one (explanations below).
- For all branches: Apart from the point above, all the other updates are really minor and shouldn't have any impact.
Explanations about the mink extension and master follow (from the commit message):
We were using our fork of the mink extension:
https://github.com/moodlehq/MinkExtension.git
Because they bumped requirements to PHP 7.4 too early for us. Now,
with Moodle 4.1, finally our requirements are also PHP 7.4, so we
can stop using the fork and switch to the upstream one:https://github.com/FriendsOfBehat/MinkExtension
Note this only can be done in 4.1dev, because this is the first
version using PHP >= 7.4. Older branches will need to continue
using the fork. Also, note that we may need to go back to the
fork if there is any future trouble with the upstream library
not matching our supported PHP versions.Apart from that, it's a good moment to bump other components to
current ones.Of course, this has been generated following the instructions:
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Composer
And using PHP 7.4 (always the min version supported) to generate
the lock file.
All the .lock files will be generated following the steps in the docs.
