Fixed

• Solved a notice about missing T_NAME_RELATIVE constant on PHP <8.0 with "phpdocumentor/type-resolver" package installed.

Changed

• Ignore static analysis annotations (phpstan, psalm, codeCoverage) by [@dimtrovich].

You most likely want to move to attributes, but this release hopefully provides relief for those who wish to migrate gradually or stay with this library for other reasons.

Thanks for @jcheron for this contribution.
