Replacement of `creof/wkt-parser` to not depend on `doctrine/lexer:~1.0` about doctrine-spatial

[Alexandre-T]

Hi @misaert

The 4.0.0-rc2 is released. This tag is declared as a pre-production release.

If there are no new issues linked to this RC, we will be able to release the 4.0.0.

[Alexandre-T]

No issues for two weeks, 4.0.0 released. 🥇

I still have to tag a new major version. I try to check tags this week-end.

I created a pull request on creof/wkt-parser, let's see what happen

[axi]

@Alexandre-T would that be ok for longitude-one to hard-fork creof/wkt-parser same way it forked doctrine-spatial ?

A start here #37

Hi,

Thank you for your interest. I would like to improve this library, but days are too short ^^. First of all, I need to look how many times lexer is called in wkt-parser. Then I need to evaluate how upgrade will be easy. Of course, I will appreciate if anyone can push a request, but contributors are rare, contributions even rarer. If someone can start and evaluate the impact on code, it would help me to estimate the time needed for this improvement

@axi I don't think you are going to get anywhere - since it doesn't look like creof has updated these packeages in like 6-7 years, with PRs outstanding also for years.

I would create a hard fork of the library like longitiude-one did with doctrine-spatial.

Next we need to updated it, rename it and, get it up on Packagist and then link to it!!

[Alexandre-T]

Composer is updated, the package is renamed and declared on packagist.
I try to work on it on Monday. IMO we can focus on compatibility with PHP 8.1+ only. Do you agree?

[ellisgl]

Yeah, getting updated to the minimum supported version of PHP makes sense.

Hi @Alexandre-T,

Have you planned the release of the new version?

Thank you,
