A followup for the previous post: the minimum required PHP versions in packages on the Packagist.

As a library developer I often face a problem what should be a minimum PHP requirement. Here are some of my principles.

I'm continuing to publish useless nih junk on the Packagist:

arokettu/arithmetic-parser: A very configurable arithmetic parser and calculator. You can define your own set of functions and operators. You can even disable multiplication if you want to!
arokettu/clock: A set of PSR-20 clock implementations. Everyone has these implemented so why not me? :D
arokettu/system-clock: All these PSR-20 clock packages usually contain a ton of clocks for testing purposes but most of the production code needs only new DateTimeImmutable('now') so I extracted SystemClock to a separate package that has only SystemClock.php and composer.json for the smallest possible package (if you don't count uglifying it js-like)
arokettu/kilo-mega: This one was actually released on February but I've forgot to write about it. It's a simple formatter for metric prefixes.
```
<?php
echo format_metric(1000, suffix: 'W'); // 1.0 kW
echo format_bytes(1234); // 1.2 KiB
```

Also a new significant release:

arokettu/torrent-file: Torrent file class got file listing classes for v1 and v2 metadata in 5.0 release.

Just finished moving my old composer packages from sandfoxme/* to arokettu/*.

Full list:

I tried to make the migration process as smooth as possible. I'm sorry for the inconvenience it might have caused.

A small personal update about services and social networks.

I changed my username on GitHub and Packagist to @arokettu. I'm also on Keybase now.
