Announcing the public beta of Psalm v7!
Psalm is one of the biggest and most powerful PHP Static analysis tools, featuring exclusive features like security analysis, and Psalm v7 brings huge performance improvements to security analysis, up to 10x thanks to a full refactoring of both the internal representation of taints, and optimization of the graph resolution logic.
A major new feature was also added: combined analysis!
Combined analysis, enabled by default in Psalm v7, allows running normal analysis, security analysis and dead code analysis all at the same time, within a single run, greatly reducing overall runtimes!
Future beta releases will also enable taint analysis by default, given that now it can be run alongside normal analysis.
Psalm v7 also brings performance improvements to dead code analysis, and fixes for list types.
Even more performance improvements and new features will be released soon!
