v2.0.0

What's Changed

• v2.0.0 — PHP 8.2, check-digit validation, typed API, and new formats by @rakibdevs in #17

Breaking changes

• Minimum PHP version is now 8.2 (was 8.0).
• parse() now returns additional keys (issuer_code, nationality_code, sex, optional_data, valid, validation, raw). Existing keys are unchanged.
• Enums\DocumentType is now a real backed enum instead of an abstract class with constants.

Added

• ICAO 9303 check-digit validation. Each result exposes an overall valid flag plus a per-field validation map (document number, date of birth, date of expiry, personal number, and composite).
• Richer output: raw ISO alpha-3 codes (issuer_code, nationality_code), raw sex character, optional_data, and the normalized raw MRZ string.
• Typed MrzResult object via MrzParser::read() — typed properties, dateOfBirthAsDate()/dateOfExpiryAsDate(), isExpired(), fullName(), and toArray().
• Non-throwing entry points MrzParser::tryParse() and MrzParser::tryRead() returning null on invalid input.
• Strict check-digit mode (parse($text, strict: true)) throwing InvalidChecksumException when a check digit fails.
• Name transliteration (Support\Transliterator): fromLatin() and matches() for converting/comparing accented names against the MRZ.
• French national ID (2×36 legacy format) support.
• Laravel integration: auto-discovered service provider and a ValidMrz validation rule.
• A full Pest test suite (parsers, validator, check digits, mappers, DTO, transliteration, Laravel rule) with ~99% coverage.

Fixed

• CRLF / whitespace input is now normalized, so Windows- and OCR-sourced MRZ strings parse correctly instead of failing validation.
• Strict date validation rejects impossible calendar dates (e.g. Feb 30) instead of silently rolling them over.
• A date of birth that would resolve to the future is shifted back a century.
• Removed a PHP 8.4 implicit-nullable deprecation and guarded against substr(null, ...) on missing rows.
• Consistent trailing-filler trimming for given names across all document types.

Changed

• Modernized the codebase: declare(strict_types=1), typed properties, match-based adapter selection, and a cached country lookup table.
• CI now tests PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5; upgraded to Pest 3.
