# Route 7.0

A new major version of Route by The PHP League, a fast PSR-7 router with PSR-15 middleware, built on top of FastRoute.

Version 7.0 needs PHP 8.3 or later. It adds Router::match() to test a route without running its handler, and reverse routing from named routes. Its route cache now recovers by itself when it is corrupt.
