What this system is

Features

Add PSR-6 cache adapter and provider

The library now includes a PSR-6 cache adapter and provider, enabling interoperability with PSR-6 cache implementations. This adds new classes in the \lib/Doctrine/Common/Cache/Psr6\ directory, including \CacheAdapter\, \CacheItem\, \TypedCacheItem\, and \DoctrineProvider\, allowing users to wrap or be wrapped by PSR-6 cache pools.

Introduces multi-operation cache interfaces and base provider

The Doctrine Common Cache library now provides dedicated interfaces for multi-get, multi-put, and multi-delete operations, allowing cache drivers to implement bulk retrieval and removal of cache entries. A new \MultiOperationCache\ interface combines these capabilities, and the abstract \CacheProvider\ base class implements these interfaces, enabling drivers to support efficient batched cache operations.

Behavioural changes

Deprecate all cache implementations and introduce PSR-6/PSR-16 adapters

All existing cache implementations (such as ApcCache, ArrayCache, MemcacheCache, and XcacheCache) are now marked as deprecated and will be removed in version 2.0. To facilitate migration, the package now includes PSR-6 and PSR-16 adapter classes (CacheAdapter and DoctrineProvider) that allow wrapping existing Doctrine cache implementations with modern standards, or wrapping PSR-6 caches as legacy Doctrine cache instances.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Test coverage

Added base test case class for Doctrine tests; Added test coverage for PSR-6 cache adapter and provider; Added test suite for the ArrayCache driver and CacheProvider behavior.

Dependencies

Doctrine Cache library marked as abandoned and updated for modern PHP/PSR standards

The \doctrine/cache\ package is now marked as abandoned, signaling that users should migrate to alternative caching solutions. The library's \composer.json\ has been updated to require PHP 7.1 or 8.0, and dev dependencies have been upgraded to support PSR-4 autoloading, PHPUnit 7.5/8.5/9.5, and PSR-3/PSR-6/PSR-16 compatible cache interfaces.

How this codebase got here

This is the PUBLIC form of this artifact. Findings are listed in full, but the details of SECURITY findings — which rule fired, in which file, on which line, and how to fix it — are deliberately withheld, and any secret-scanner results are excluded entirely. Where detail is absent here it was REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION; it is not missing from the analysis. The complete artifact is available from the repository owner.

  • Redundant interface inheritance. CacheProvider already defines fetchMultiple, and MultiGetCache also defines it. If MultiGetCache is intended to be a mixin or interface that CacheProvider implements, the method signature is duplicated. If they are separate interfaces, clients must check for both to support multi-get, which is inconsistent with the design where CacheProvider seems to be the base interface.
  • Redundant interface inheritance. Similar to fetchMultiple, saveMultiple is defined in both CacheProvider and MultiPutCache. This duplication suggests unclear interface composition or inheritance.
  • Semantic ambiguity between flush and delete operations. CacheProvider exposes both flushAll() and deleteAll(), while ClearableCache only exposes deleteAll(). In caching contexts, 'flush' often implies clearing the cache namespace or resetting state, while 'delete' implies removing keys. However, in many implementations (and PSR-6), 'clear' is the standard term. Having both flushAll and deleteAll on the same interface without clear semantic distinction is confusing, and the existence of ClearableCache.deleteAll() suggests deleteAll is the preferred term for clearing, making flushAll redundant or misleading.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 26 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit e0a9919443c1e918251c23b65eddd9a66fafacb3 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-a15879f6f801.
