Major dudestack version update - Moving to PHP dotenv 5.3, roots/wp-config, oscarotero/env

[ronilaukkarinen]

For stability and security these packages need to be updated. More to why here (phpdotenv), here (oscarotero/env) and here (roots/wp-config).

Practically this is getting dudestack to this decade. This was inspired by new PHP versions that cause problems with composer v1 and need for composer v2 support. After all, development of v1 stopped in 2020-06-03. PHP dotnev version we used was dated back in 2019-01-05...

This update brings:

• More modern and simplified definitions under config folder
• Support for PHP 7+
• Stability and future proof
• More DRY methods
• Support for Composer 2

Good things are:

• WPackagist already supports these
• wp-languages already supports these
• Tested and working out of the box with createproject macos-lemp

Breaking changes:

• This will break your project if are using composer v1 (check it out with composer --version)
• ACF Pro Installer will no longer work as it supports only v1 (see issue) but on the other hand it's not updated after 2017 and needs to be replaced anyway, we have documented new way in dudestack README of this PR
• For legacy projects you need to replace files under config/, update composer packages (composer/installers, wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle, johnpbloch/wordpress, oscarotero/env, roots/wp-config)
• Not tested, needs proof that it works (or under discussion should we dump vagrant): marlin-vagrant

Please note

To be fully tested the new version will be needed to push to packagist as it doesn't support branches. Currently composer create-project (that is bundled with createproject) pulls the latest release. This has not been released yet so we cannot fully test it before doing so. I have run tests manually and confirmed this works fine though if composer packages are up to date and dev branch files are in use.

These should be on top of the requires right after phpdotenv. Otherwise, these are easily removed as a plugins.

[ronilaukkarinen]

True. Going ahead and correcting this.

[timiwahalahti]

This is only partially true, because when using pivvenit/acf-pro-installer PHP 7.2 is required. It might not be used by users outside of our agency, but for our devs we need that package and thus 7.2

[ronilaukkarinen]

New phpdotenv requires at least php 7.1.

[ronilaukkarinen]

Also now that I checked Roots and oscarotero/env also require it. So it's pretty much a must-have minimum.

[timiwahalahti]

Agreed, my point was to say that we probably should state the 7.2 as minimum version instead of 7.1 :)

[ronilaukkarinen]

Aah, thought you are commenting about the PHP version update in general... tired brain, sorry. Yes, 7.1 is directly from those composer packages, should be 7.2 for us.
