Collection of breaking change ideas for next major version

[olivervogel]

Collection of ideas that would be nice to have but would introduce a BC and would therefore only be possible in the next major version.

Please note that this is an initial collection of ideas that may or may not be adopted.

Standardization and simplification of offset parameters

To specify parameters for offsets, offset_x and offset_y are used in v3. The names could be catchier and simpler.

For example, just x or left instead of offset_x and y or top instead of offset_y.

More universal ColorInterface::create() method

Currently only string values of the colors are processed. It would also be nice if the values of the color channels could be specified directly.

use Intervention\Image\Colors\Rgb\Color;

// currently
$color = Color::create('rgb(255, 255, 255)');

// more universal
$color = Color::create('rgb(255, 255, 255)');
$color = Color::create(255, 255, 255);

Change from scale (int) 0 - 100 to (float) 0 - 1, for more precise input options.

Many functions use 0 - 100 integers as the standard for inputs. For a more precise definition of values, you could consider switching to float values from 0 - 1.

• 0 becomes 0
• 25 becomes 0.25
• 50 becomes 0.5
• 75 becomes 0.75
• 100 becomes 1
