Are there updates coming for this course?

Throughout the PHP standards and Best Practices course there have been several issues:

  • Only the workspace for stage 2 has been available to me, even if using "Launch Different Workspace" and searching for "php standards" or "stage"
  • Working through "Creating Components" the workspace I had access to (again, stage 2) I used composer require phpunit/phpunit --dev into the console only to be greeted by this message:
treehouse:~/workspace$ composer require phpunit/phpunit --dev                                                                                       
Warning from https://packagist.org: Support for Composer 1 is deprecated and some packages will not be available. You should upgrade to Composer 2.

Using version ^6.5 for phpunit/phpunit

  • The questions in several assessments do not match up with the content of the video.

I realize this course is almost 8 years old, however if these issues are not going to be address then it seems like removing the course would be the proper solution
