Can we drop `jean85/pretty-package-versions:1.2`?

[OskarStark]

Is there a reason, we support two major versions?

mongo-php-library/composer.json

Line 16 in 49f3e3d

"jean85/pretty-package-versions": "^1.2 || ^2.0.1",

IMHO 1.2 can safely be dropped, as 2.0 still supports PHP 7.1:

PHPLIB 1.9.0 required PHP 7.1+ (see: composer.json), so I don't think there's any reason to have ^1.2 || in the version field. I expect @Jean85 was just being conservative when opening PRs to add || ^2.0 in various projects (e.g. #805). Feel free to submit a PR to remove ^1.2 || if you like.

Yes I was being conservative because 1.x supports Composer 1.

If you drop 1.x, you drop support for Composer 1; that wasn't doable then, while now is up to you.

[OskarStark]

From my POV it is ok to drop support for Composer 1, while were are at Composer 2.5.1 right now.

WDYT @alcaeus ?

Given how long composer 1 has been out of date, I think it should be safe dropping support for it in the next minor version of the library.
