Hi all,

I have a question regarding the API tooling checks for @since and bundle
dependencies with versions. Suppose you have a bundle A that depends on
bundle B in version 1.0.0. Now B gets a new type and its version is
increased to 1.1, the new type is flagged with @since 1.1. A now uses
the the new type but still requires B in version 1.0 which is obviously
wrong. I would expect API Tooling to find such errors but it doesn't
seem to work.

API Tooling does not check your dependencies, it checks that you have not broken API contracts. This is actually more closely related to PDE Core tooling. Such a feature is possible, but it could be very flaky as @since tags are in no way guaranteed to match the bundle version (API Tools encourages this behaviour in APIs, but it is not strictly enforced as there are different version schemes used). The only way to be sure that the dependency range is correct is to have each version of the bundle available to check.
