v2.1.0

Release v2.1.0

Summary

• Replace abrupt process termination (die/exit) in core with structured exceptions and centralized handling.
• Added HttpResponseException and HeadersSendException for HTTP error semantics.
• Added top-level ExceptionHandler to log uncaught exceptions and produce safe minimal 5xx responses.
• Response::sendHeaders() now logs errors and throws exceptions instead of exiting; added a headersAlreadySent() hook for testability.
• Replaced exit/die in core loader and Spark::connect with logging + exceptions (class load/instantiation failures now map to 503 Service Unavailable).
• Added and updated tests covering the new error paths; guarded Reflection usage for PHP 8.1+.

Migration notes

• The framework no longer terminates the process on certain fatal errors; code that relied on immediate exit should catch the new exceptions where appropriate. Class load/instantiation failures now throw an HttpResponseException with HTTP 503.
• Ensure any custom global error handlers are compatible with exceptions. The project registers a default exception handler that logs and returns a minimal 5xx response.

Testing

• Unit test suite passes locally (48 tests, 104 assertions). Please run CI to validate in your environment.
