Removal of `::create` static method for type-based tags - The create static method has been removed from tag classes that represent type definitions, such as @param and @return tags. Most users will not be affected, as these methods are rarely used directly. The deprecation notice for these methods was present throughout v5. - Migration: - If you are instantiating these tag objects directly, use the tag factory or the recommended construction pattern instead. - Before: .. code-block:: php

$tag = Param::create($body);

- After:

$factory = \phpDocumentor\Reflection\DocBlock\Tags\Factory\StandardTagFactory::createInstance();
$tag = $factory->create('@param int $foo');

StandardTagFactory instantiation - StandardTagFactory must now be created via createInstance() . - Migration: - Before: .. code-block:: php

$factory = new StandardTagFactory();

- After:

$factory = StandardTagFactory::createInstance();

Generics Support : The TypeResolver component now supports generics,

which replaces the previous Collection type handling. This allows for more accurate and expressive type definitions, such as MyClass<int, MyClass> or Collection<MyClass> , and improves compatibility with modern PHPDoc standards.
