Inline Symplify Packages to Allow Changes in Single Place 👍

Based on community feedback, we've narrowed down few dependencies that Rector uses actively, but were maintained in external repository.
Inlining only the classes we need makes Rector easier to contribute as the code is available in the repository.

• symplify/astral
• symplify/package-builder
• symplify/smart-file-system
• symplify/symplify-kernel
• symplify/skipper

Released Rector 0.14

First, we're just passed great achievement. Rector has pased over 10 000 000 downloads 🎉 🥳

Thank you for joining us on this adventurous journey. Slowly but surely we're removing legacy code from codebases all over the world 🙏 👍

2 Community Packages

In Rector 0.14, 2 Rector extensions have matured enough to become standalone packages. We've decided to move them from the core closer to their own communities. Where they can grow faster and with inline of their community standards 👍 👪

Typo3 and Nette are now moved from Rector core to their own repositories:

• https://github.com/sabbelasichon/typo3-rector
• https://github.com/efabrica-team/rector-nette
