## Changelog

### 1.3.0

This release introduces a PHP version bump. `doctrine/annotations` now requires PHP
5.6 or later to be installed.

A series of additional improvements have been introduced:

 * support for PHP 7 "grouped use statements"
 * support for ignoring entire namespace names
   via `Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader::addGlobalIgnoredNamespace()` and
   `Doctrine\Common\Annotations\DocParser::setIgnoredAnnotationNamespaces()`. This will
   allow you to ignore annotations from namespaces that you cannot autoload
 * testing all parent classes and interfaces when checking if the annotation cache
   in the `CachedReader` is fresh
 * simplifying the cache keys used by the `CachedReader`: keys are no longer artificially
   namespaced, since `Doctrine\Common\Cache` already supports that
 * corrected parsing of multibyte strings when `mbstring.func_overload` is enabled
 * corrected parsing of annotations when `"\t"` is put before the first annotation
   in a docblock
 * allow skipping non-imported annotations when a custom `DocParser` is passed to
   the `AnnotationReader` constructor
