cakephp/cakephp 4.0.x dependency issue

[burzum]

I've started to work on a complete new library that is going to be similar to this one based on its terminology and functions but is going to be complete angostic to any framework. It will be easy to plug it into Cake with a behavior.

This allows me to drop all the legacy from this library and write a much better implementation from scratch. 😃 I'll leave another comment here when I publish the first code.

@nlangel
I have a same issue.
Thank you for your workaround!
composer require cakephp/cakephp:"4.0.6 as 4.x-dev ( I changed version 4.0.4 => 4.0.6 )

Dear committer,
I am waiting for production release targeted CakePHP 4.x.

If anyone of you would like to finish this PR I'll tag a 4.0 version #203. @skie doesn't respond anymore and at work we'll stick for some more time to Cake3.

I personally have move to Laravel, Cake has failed to go with the time for me and I genuinely think that Laravel is the better choice these days. So basically all my Cake packages get only attention when one of them is needed at work, one of my private projects that still depend on Cake needs it or if I'm getting paid to work on the libs. I'll continue to do open source but framework agnostic libs under the @Phauthentic org account. I might provide a framework agnostic solution in a few weeks that is also switching from Gaufrette to Flysystem for the underyling storage abstraction.

@ravage84 do you want to become the new maintainer of this lib?

This is my working example of the new lib. The File object implements jsonSerialize() and toArray() so you can turn that object into something that can be saved in a DB. The lib doesn't take care of saving the file data in a DB, it just abstracts storage and creation of manipulated versions. Wrapping it in a behavior should be easy. Pretty much stuffing the code from the gist into it and done. But I'm not going to provide that behavior.

I'm going to make the new repo public as soon as I'm happy with the coverage and docs.

[burzum]

OK, the new library is here. There is still some work to be done but it works for me. Feedback is highly appreciated to figure out of the API works for everyone as good as I itended it. For the use with Cake it should be easy to wrap a behavior around it that will take care of the actual save and delete.

Maybe I'm going to release a new version for Cake that will drop all the legacy and is going to be a big BC breaking change. The new libs are almost ready and we started to use it at work, integrating it into Cake but keeping it very loose coupled.
