CakePHP 4 support

[Erwane]

I'm using this plugin since years now and i want to create a PR to support Cakephp4 with bootstrap4.

From which branch should i start please ?

You should start with the https://github.com/Holt59/cakephp3-bootstrap-helpers/tree/v4.0.3 branch.

Thanks, i'm on it.

I'm looking the project name and versions and do you plan to rename it "cakephp-bootstrap-helpers" and think about a notation branchs for versions ?
cake3-bootstrap3, cake3-bootstrap4, cake4-bootstrap4 ?

@Erwane Thanks for all the work!

I have to check what implies a renaming of the Github project, I think Github can provide a redirection to the new project from the old URL but I'd have to check.

For the version, it's a bit more complicated unfortunately... For the branch names, there are currently no issues, but for composer to work properly there are some constraints on tagging (e.g., if you want 3.2.* or something like that).

Proposal :

• 3.3.x.y : cake 3, Bs 3
• 3.4.x.y : cake 3, Bs 4
• 4.4.x.y : cake 4, Bs 4

We only have "patch" (x) and "release" (y) numbers for new helpers or fixes.

In composer :
composer require holt59/cakephp-bootstrap:"^3.4.0" for cake 3 with bootstrap 4

@Erwane Yes, I think it's the best idea. And it does not break current versions which is a good thing. I will try to move everything to the new scheme this week-end and update the README(s) accordingly.
