A small PHP library that wraps Composer's installed package metadata to produce pretty version strings for dependencies. It provides a single class, PrettyVersions, that returns Version objects with short, full, and commit-referenced version formats.

Use cases

• get pretty version strings of composer dependencies
• show package version with short commit hash in PHP apps
• avoid tying a library to a specific Composer version
• display dependency versions in CLI tools
• retrieve version info for a specific installed package

When to choose

• you need human-readable version strings for installed Composer packages
• you want compatibility across both Composer 1.x and 2.x
• you want a thin, dependency-light wrapper around Composer\InstalledVersions

When to avoid

• you only target Composer 2 and can use Composer\InstalledVersions directly
• you need version constraints or dependency resolution logic rather than display strings
