We are thrilled to unveil **Mago v0.0.14**, a groundbreaking update that takes Mago to the next level! This release introduces **reflections**, smarter linting, and critical bug fixes.
🚀 New Features
Reflections and Built-in PHP Type Awareness

Mago is now aware of all PHP built-in types, thanks to JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs.
Reflections enable Mago to analyze and understand your entire codebase, including built-in PHP types, user-defined code, and dependencies.

New Analysis Linter Plugin

Undefined Functions Rule: Detects and notifies you about calls to undefined functions.
Undefined Constants Rule: Identifies the usage of undefined constants.
These rules are just the beginning! Reflections pave the way for detecting runtime errors statically, with planned rules for inheritance and other advanced analysis.

Smarter Linter Suggestions

Mago’s linter is now smarter and more context-aware:

It will no longer suggest renaming parameters or adding types to parameters inherited from a class or interface, avoiding potential inheritance-breaking changes.



Improved Analysis with Composer

To get the best results, include your vendor directory in your configuration file (excluding composer files). Example:

[source]
paths = ["src"]
includes = ["vendor"]
excludes = ["*/vendor/composer/*"]
🐛 Bug Fixes
Lexer Fixes

Recognizes callable as a keyword.
Correctly parses heredoc when a line starts with the label text (e.g., PHPDOC in the example below).

$a = <<<PHP

PHPDOC <-- no longer mistakenly considered as the closing label

PHP;
Linter Fixes

The implicit nullable parameter rule now fixes code correctly, preventing runtime issues.

Formatter Fixes

Parentheses are preserved in cases like new ($foo->bar())() to avoid errors.

🌟 Community Contributions
