Announcing GUID v3.0 - Modern, lightweight GUID generation for PHP

The first release of this package focused on one clear goal: generate GUIDs with minimal fuss.
Version 3.0 keeps that same spirit and modernizes the package for today’s PHP ecosystem.

What’s new in v3.0

• PHP 8.2+ baseline with strict typing
• Zero runtime dependencies
• Tiny, stable public API
• Optional extensibility via GeneratorInterface
• Production-quality gates: tests, static analysis, linting, and CI

Why this release matters

v3.0 is built for projects that want reliability without bloat.
It stays small, readable, and fast, while improving maintainability and long-term confidence.

• No framework lock-in
• No container setup
• No runtime dependency overhead
• Predictable GUID output behavior
