Drop branch-alias on 4.x

[nicolas-grekas]

A similar fix is needed on master

I think this branch alias should just be dropped. Especially on the 4.x branch having a dev-master alias doesn't really make sense?

[nicolas-grekas]

of course! PR updated.

this change breaks my php obfuscator :

I need a way to know which PHP-Parser version is installed to make sure that the version is ok with the obfuscator...
I was using branch-alias to determine the version...
Please offer a way to do that: for exemple a version.php file

thanx in advance!

You should use the Composer\InstalledVersions class for that. It's in your vendor/composer directory.

I do not use composer!
I use git clone

Parsing the changelog may be an option.

It is the work-around that I will have to do, if PHP-Parser do not provide easy and standard way for getting it's version...
As you may imagine, I would prefer just having an include file that will have a variable or a function getting the version!
