The future of PHP-RBAC

We are in the process of refactoring the PHP-RBAC internals. We have two goals in mind while doing this:, _(*15)

• To meet modern PHP OOP "Best Practices"
• To meet PHP-FIG PSR compliance: http://www.php-fig.org/

With a PSR compliant Public API already in place we can continue to work towards our goals one piece at a time without altering the Public API that developers are working with and rely on, making the transition as seamless and invisible as possible., _(*16)
