We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Doctrine ORM 2.5.3.

Dependency constraints on the doctrine/common component supported versions were corrected, allowing users to install doctrine/common version 2.6.* together with the ORM. This also means that PHP 7 scalar type-hints and return type declarations are now reflected in the generated proxy classes. #4884

Merging versioned entities caused the merged instance to have a null version: this is now fixed. #1573

It was impossible to use interface names when referencing entity types in DQL: it is now possible to do so when using the ResolveTargetEntityListener. #1573

Installation

You can install the ORM component using Composer:

1
composer require doctrine/orm:~2.5.3
