Upcoming releases?

Hello @gavinlove ,

We used the dev-master branch in PHPUnit 7 and saw an increase in performance and would like to know if there are any planned releases. We previously used PHPUnit 5.7 and are upgrading to PHPUnit 7 and would like to have this package available for use.

Do you have any numbers on the increase? We saw almost no difference when we last tested it with PHPUnit 7

With the accelerator: 7-8 minutes using roughly 325mb memory
without accelerator: 15-17 minutes, 1.34gb memory
Our functional tests benefited the most from the accelerator.

As PHPUnit destructs instances of the test classes only at the end of the complete test process the accelerator should still make sense if the test classes have no tearDown() that sets the properties to null -- at least in regard to memory consumption.

Since we have implementations of tearDown() that set properties to null that use the most memory the improvement with the accelerator in regard to memory is only 10 MB (ca. 700 vs 710), while the execution time is slightly increased probably because of the listener code that is executed after every test.
