# Changelog
The file documents changes to the PHP_CodeSniffer project.

## [Unreleased]

### Added
- An error message is now displayed if no files were checked during a run
    - This occurs when all of the specified files matched exclusion rules, or none matched filtering rules

### Changed
- The minimum required PHP version has changed from 5.4.0 to 7.2.0
- The default coding standard has changed from `PEAR` to `PSR12`
- Files with no extension are no longer ignored if the path is passed in directly
    - Previously, files with no extension would always be ignored
    - Now, files with no extension are checked if passed on the command line or specified in a ruleset
- The `--extensions` command line argument no longer accepts the tokenizer along with the extension
    - Previously, you would check `.module` files as PHP files using `--extensions=module/php`
    - Now, you use `--extensions=module`
- Rulesets now process their rules from top to bottom instead of in defined groups
    - Previously, rulesets processed tags in the following order, no matter where they appeared in the file:
        1. `<autoload>`
        2. `<config>`
        3. `<rule>`
        4. `<arg>`
        5. `<ini>`
        6. `<file>`
        7. `<exclude-pattern>`
    - Now, tags are processed as they are encountered when parsing the file top to bottom
- None of the included sniffs will warn about possible parse errors any more
    - This improves the experience when the file is being checked inside an editor during live coding
    - If you want to detect parse errors, use the `Generic.PHP.Syntax` sniff or a dedicated linter instead
- All status, debug, and progress output is now sent to STDERR instead of STDOUT
    - Only report output now goes through STDOUT
    - Piping output to a file will now only include report output
        - Pipe both STDERR and STDOUT to the same file to capture the entire output of the run
    - The `--report-file` functionality remains untouched
- Composer installs no longer include any test files
- PHPCS now uses the PHP 8.0 native method of tokenizing namespaced names
    - Before PHP 8.0, PHP would tokenize namespaced names using `T_STRING` and `T_NS_SEPARATOR`
    - From PHP 8.0, PHP uses the tokens `T_NAME_FULLY_QUALIFIED`, `T_NAME_RELATIVE`, and `T_NAME_QUALIFIED` instead
    - PHPCS now uses these new PHP 8.0 tokens no matter what version of PHP is being used to run PHPCS
    - Custom sniffs that use `T_STRING` and `T_NS_SEPARATOR` tokens to look for namespaced names will need to be modified
- Changed the error code `Squiz.Classes.ValidClassName.NotCamelCaps` to `Squiz.Classes.ValidClassName.NotPascalCase`
    - This reflects that the sniff is actually checking for `ClassName` and not `className`
- The `Config::setConfigData()` method is no longer static
- T_USE tokens now contain parenthesis information if they are being used to pass variables to a closure
    - Previously, you had to find the opening and closing parenthesis by looking forward through the token stack
    - Now, you can use the `parenthesis_opener` and `parenthesis_closer` array indexes

### Removed
- Removed support for installing via PEAR
    - Use composer or the phar files
- Support for checking the coding standards of JS files has been removed
- Support for checking the coding standards of CSS files has been removed

        - Replace `@codingStandardsChangeSetting` with `phpcs:set`
- Support for the deprecated `ruleset.xml` array property string-based syntax has been removed
    - Previously, setting an array value used the string syntax `print=>echo,create_function=>null`
    - Now, individual array elements are specified using an `element` tag with `key` and `value` attributes
        - For example, `<element key="print" value="echo">`

    - To make this sniff produce warnings, include the following in a `ruleset.xml` file:
        ```xml
        <rule ref="Generic.Strings.UnnecessaryStringConcat">
            <type>warning</type>
        </rule>
        ```
- Removed `error` property of sniff `Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment`
    - This sniff now always produces warnings
    - Also removes the `Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment.IncorrectWarning` sniff message
        - Now renamed to `Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment.Incorrect`
    - Also removes the `Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment.NotSameWarning` sniff message
        - Now renamed to `Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment.NotSame`
    - To make this sniff produce errors, include the following in a `ruleset.xml` file:
        ```xml
        <rule ref="Generic.Formatting.MultipleStatementAlignment">
            <type>error</type>
        </rule>
        ```

## [3.5.3] - 2019-12-04
### Changed
- The PHP 7.4 T_FN token has been made available for older versions
    - T_FN represents the fn string used for arrow functions
    - The double arrow becomes the scope opener, and uses a new T_FN_ARROW token type
    - The token after the statement (normally a semicolon) becomes the scope closer
    - The token is also associated with the opening and closing parenthesis of the statement
    - Any functions named "fn" will cause have a T_FN token for the function name, but have no scope information
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the help with this change
- PHP 7.4 numeric separators are now tokenized in the same way when using older PHP versions
    - Previously, a number like 1_000 would tokenize as T_LNUMBER (1), T_STRING (_000)
    - Now, the number tokenizes as T_LNUMBER (1_000)
    - Sniff developers should consider how numbers with underscores impact their custom sniffs
- The PHPCS file cache now takes file permissions into account
    - The cache is now invalidated for a file when its permissions are changed
- File::getMethodParameters() now supports arrow functions
- File::getMethodProperties() now supports arrow functions
- Added Fixer::changeCodeBlockIndent() to change the indent of a code block while auto-fixing
    - Can be used to either increase or decrease the indent
    - Useful when moving the start position of something like a closure, where you want the content to also move
- Added Generic.Files.ExecutableFile sniff
    - Ensures that files are not executable
    - Thanks to Matthew Peveler for the contribution
- Generic.CodeAnalysis.EmptyPhpStatement now reports unnecessary semicolons after control structure closing braces
    - Thanks to Vincent Langlet for the patch
- Generic.PHP.LowerCaseKeyword now enforces that the "fn" keyword is lowercase
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent now supports static arrow functions
- PEAR.Functions.FunctionCallSignature now adjusts the indent of function argument contents during auto-fixing
    - Previously, only the first line of an argument was changed, leading to inconsistent indents
    - This change also applies to PSR2.Methods.FunctionCallSignature
- PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacing now checks whitespace before the closing parenthesis of multi-line control structures
    - Previously, it incorrectly applied the whitespace check for single-line definitions only
- PSR12.Functions.ReturnTypeDeclaration now checks the return type of arrow functions
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- PSR12.Traits.UseDeclaration now ensures all trait import statements are grouped together
    - Previously, the trait import section of the class ended when the first non-import statement was found
    - Checking now continues throughout the class to ensure all statements are grouped together
    - This also ensures that empty lines are not requested after an import statement that isn't the last one
- Squiz.Functions.LowercaseFunctionKeywords now enforces that the "fn" keyword is lowercase
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch

### Fixed

- Fixed bug #2694 : AbstractArraySniff produces invalid indices when using ternary operator
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Fixed bug #2702 : Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent false positive when using ternary operator with short arrays

## [3.5.2] - 2019-10-28
### Changed
- Generic.ControlStructures.DisallowYodaConditions now returns less false positives
    - False positives were being returned for array comparisions, or when performing some function calls
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.SemicolonSpacing.Incorrect error message now escapes newlines and tabs
    - Provides a clearer error message as whitespace is now visible
    - Also allows for better output for report types such as CSV and XML
- The error message for PSR12.Files.FileHeader.SpacingAfterBlock has been made clearer
    - It now uses the wording from the published PSR-12 standard to indicate that blocks must be separated by a blank line
    - Thanks to Craig Duncan for the patch

    - Output is printed when running PHPCS with the --report=diff and -vvv command line arguments
    - Fully qualified class names have been replaced with sniff codes
    - Tokens being changed now display the line number they are on
- PSR2, PSR12, and PEAR standards now correctly check for blank lines at the start of function calls
    - This check has been missing from these standards, but has now been implemented
    - When using the PEAR standard, the error code is PEAR.Functions.FunctionCallSignature.FirstArgumentPosition
    - When using PSR2 or PSR12, the error code is PSR2.Methods.FunctionCallSignature.FirstArgumentPosition
- PSR12.ControlStructures.BooleanOperatorPlacement no longer complains when multiple expression appears on the same line
    - Previously, boolean operators were enforce to appear at the start or end of lines only
    - Boolean operators can now appear in the middle of the line

## [3.5.0] - 2019-09-27
### Changed
- The included PSR12 standard is now complete and ready to use
    - Check your code using PSR-12 by running PHPCS with --standard=PSR12
- Added support for PHP 7.4 typed properties
    - The nullable operator is now tokenized as T_NULLABLE inside property types, as it is elsewhere
    - To get the type of a member var, use the File::getMemberProperties() method, which now contains a "type" array index
        - This contains the type of the member var, or a blank string if not specified
        - If the type is nullable, the return type will contain the leading ?
        - If a type is specified, the position of the first token in the type will be set in a "type_token" array index
        - If a type is specified, the position of the last token in the type will be set in a "type_end_token" array index
        - If the type is nullable, a "nullable_type" array index will also be set to TRUE
        - If the type contains namespace information, it will be cleaned of whitespace and comments in the return value
- The PSR1 standard now correctly bans alternate PHP tags
    - Previously, it only banned short open tags and not the pre-7.0 alternate tags
- Added support for only checking files that have been locally staged in a git repo
    - Use --filter=gitstaged to check these files
    - You still need to give PHPCS a list of files or directories in which to apply the filter
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- JSON reports now end with a newline character
- The phpcs.xsd schema now validates phpcs-only and phpcbf-only attributes correctly
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Some tokenizer methods were also throwing RuntimeExpection but now correctly throw TokenizerException
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The File::getMethodParameters() method now returns more information, and supports closure USE groups
    - If a type hint is specified, the position of the last token in the hint will be set in a "type_hint_end_token" array index
    - If a default is specified, the position of the first token in the default value will be set in a "default_token" array   index
    - If a default is specified, the position of the equals sign will be set in a "default_equal_token" array index
    - If the param is not the last, the position of the comma will be set in a "comma_token" array index
    - If the param is passed by reference, the position of the reference operator will be set in a "reference_token" array index
    - If the param is variable length, the position of the variadic operator will be set in a "variadic_token" array index
- The T_LIST token and it's opening and closing parentheses now contain references to each other in the tokens array
    - Uses the same parenthesis_opener/closer/owner indexes as other tokens
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The T_ANON_CLASS token and it's opening and closing parentheses now contain references to each other in the tokens array
    - Uses the same parenthesis_opener/closer/owner indexes as other tokens
    - Only applicable if the anon class is passing arguments to the constructor
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The PHP 7.4 T_BAD_CHARACTER token has been made available for older versions
    - Allows you to safely look for this token, but it will not appear unless checking with PHP 7.4+
- Metrics are now available for Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacing
    - Use the "info" report to see blank lines before/after functions
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

- Added PSR12.Traits.UseDeclaration sniff
    - Enforces the formatting of trait import statements within a class
- Generic.Files.LineLength ignoreComments property now ignores comments at the end of a line
    - Previously, this property was incorrectly causing the sniff to ignore any line that ended with a comment
    - Now, the trailing comment is not included in the line length, but the rest of the line is still checked
- Generic.Files.LineLength now only ignores unwrappable comments when the comment is on a line by itself
    - Previously, a short unwrappable comment at the end of the line would have the sniff ignore the entire line
- Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing no longer checks spacing around assignment operators inside function calls
    - Use the Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing sniff to enforce spacing around assignment operators
        - Note that this sniff checks spacing around all assignment operators, not just inside function calls
    - The Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing.NoSpaceBeforeEquals error has been removed
        - use Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing.NoSpaceBefore instead
    - The Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing.NoSpaceAfterEquals error has been removed
        - use Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing.NoSpaceAfter instead
    - This also changes the PEAR/PSR2/PSR12 standards so they no longer check assignment operators inside function calls
        - They were previously checking these operators when they should not have
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent no longer performs exact indents checking for chained method calls
    - Other sniffs can be used to enforce chained method call indent rules
    - Thanks to Pieter Frenssen for the patch
- PEAR.WhiteSpace.ObjectOperatorIndent now supports multi-level chained statements
    - When enabled, chained calls must be indented 1 level more or less than the previous line
    - Set the new "multilevel" setting to TRUE in a ruleset.xml file to enable this behaviour
    - Thanks to Marcos Passos for the patch
- PSR2.ControlStructures.ControlStructureSpacing now allows whitespace after the opening parenthesis if followed by a comment
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- PSR2.Classes.PropertyDeclaration now enforces a single space after a property type keyword
    - The PSR2 standard itself excludes this new check as it is not defined in the written standard

    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacing now has more accurate error messages
    - This includes renaming the SpaceAfterDefault error code to SpaceAfterEquals, which reflects the real error

    - If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the SpacingAfterReference error message in a ruleset.xml file
- Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacing now checks for no space after a variadic operator
    - If you don't want this new behaviour, exclude the SpacingAfterVariadic error message in a ruleset.xml file
- Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration now has improved fixing for the FirstParamSpacing and UseFirstParamSpacing errors
- Squiz.Operators.IncrementDecrementUsage now suggests pre-increment of variables instead of post-increment
    - This change does not enforce pre-increment over post-increment; only the suggestion has changed
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments now has a second error code for when assignments are found inside control structure   conditions
    - The new error code is Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments.FoundInControlStructure
    - All other multiple assignment cases use the existing error code Squiz.PHP.DisallowMultipleAssignments.Found
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacing now applies beforeFirst and afterLast spacing rules to nested functions
    - Previously, these rules only applied to the first and last function in a class, interface, or trait
    - These rules now apply to functions nested in any statement block, including other functions and conditions
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing now has improved handling of parse errors
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing now checks spacing around the instanceof operator
    - Thanks to Jakub Chábek for the patch
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing can now enforce a single space before assignment operators
    - Previously, the sniff this spacing as multiple assignment operators are sometimes aligned
    - Now, you can set the ignoreSpacingBeforeAssignments sniff property to FALSE to enable checking
    - Default remains TRUE, so spacing before assignments is not checked by default
    - Thanks to Jakub Chábek for the patch

## [3.4.0] - 2018-12-20
### Deprecated
- The Generic.Formatting.NoSpaceAfterCast sniff has been deprecated and will be removed in version 4
    - The functionality of this sniff is now available in the Generic.Formatting.SpaceAfterCast sniff
        - Include the Generic.Formatting.SpaceAfterCast sniff and set the "spacing" property to "0"
    - As soon as possible, replace all instances of the old sniff code with the new sniff code and property setting
        - The existing sniff will continue to work until version 4 has been released

### Changed
- Rule include patterns in a ruleset.xml file are now evaluated as OR instead of AND
    - Previously, a file had to match every include pattern and no exclude patterns to be included
    - Now, a file must match at least one include pattern and no exclude patterns to be included
    - This is a bug fix as include patterns are already documented to work this way
- New token T_BITWISE_NOT added for the bitwise not operator
    - This token was previously tokenized as T_NONE
    - Any sniffs specifically looking for T_NONE tokens with a tilde as the contents must now also look for T_BITWISE_NOT
    - Sniffs can continue looking for T_NONE as well as T_BITWISE_NOT to support older PHP_CodeSniffer versions
- All types of binary casting are now tokenized as T_BINARY_CAST
    - Previously, the 'b' in 'b"some string with $var"' would be a T_BINARY_CAST, but only when the string contained a var
    - This change ensures the 'b' is always tokenized as T_BINARY_CAST
    - This change also converts '(binary)' from T_STRING_CAST to T_BINARY_CAST
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the help with this patch
- Array properties set inside a ruleset.xml file can now extend a previous value instead of always overwriting it
    - e.g., if you include a ruleset that defines forbidden functions, can you now add to that list instead of having to   redefine it
    - To use this feature, add extends="true" to the property tag
        - e.g., property name="forbiddenFunctionNames" type="array" extend="true"
    - Thanks to Michael Moravec for the patch
- If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set and points to a valid directory, it will be used for caching instead of the system temp directory
- PHPCBF now disables parallel running if you are passing content on STDIN
    - Stops an error from being shown after the fixed output is printed
- The progress report now shows files with tokenizer errors as skipped (S) instead of a warning (W)
    - The tokenizer error is still displayed in reports as normal
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The Squiz standard now ensures there is no space between an increment/decrement operator and its variable
- The File::getMethodProperties() method now includes a has_body array index in the return value
    - FALSE if the method has no body (as with abstract and interface methods) or TRUE otherwise
    - Thanks to Chris Wilkinson for the patch
- The File::getTokensAsString() method now throws an exception if the $start param is invalid
    - If the $length param is invalid, an empty string will be returned
    - Stops an infinite loop when the function is passed invalid data
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Ensures there is no space between the operator and the variable it applies to
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Added PSR12.Functions.NullableTypeDeclaration sniff
    - Ensures there is no space after the question mark in a nullable type declaration
    - Thanks to Timo Schinkel for the contribution
- A number of sniffs have improved support for methods in anonymous classes
    - These sniffs would often throw the same error twice for functions in nested classes
    - Error messages have also been changed to be less confusing
    - The full list of affected sniffs is:
        - Generic.NamingConventions.CamelCapsFunctionName
        - PEAR.NamingConventions.ValidFunctionName
        - PSR1.Methods.CamelCapsMethodName
        - PSR2.Methods.MethodDeclaration
        - Squiz.Scope.MethodScope
        - Squiz.Scope.StaticThisUsage
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.CodeAnalysis.UnusedFunctionParameter now only skips functions with empty bodies when the class implements an   interface
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.CodeAnalysis.UnusedFunctionParameter now has additional error codes to indicate where unused params were found
    - The new error code prefixes are:
        - FoundInExtendedClass: when the class extends another
        - FoundInImplementedInterface: when the class implements an interface
        - Found: used in all other cases, including closures
    - The new error code suffixes are:
        - BeforeLastUsed: the unused param was positioned before the last used param in the function signature
        - AfterLastUsed: the unused param was positioned after the last used param in the function signature
    - This makes the new error code list for this sniff:
        - Found
        - FoundBeforeLastUsed
        - FoundAfterLastUsed
        - FoundInExtendedClass
        - FoundInExtendedClassBeforeLastUsed
        - FoundInExtendedClassAfterLastUsed
        - FoundInImplementedInterface
        - FoundInImplementedInterfaceBeforeLastUsed
        - FoundInImplementedInterfaceAfterLastUsed
    - These errors code make it easier for specific cases to be ignored or promoted using a ruleset.xml file
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution

- PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration now enforces no space before the semicolon in functions with no body
    - Thanks to Chris Wilkinson for the patch
- PSR2.Classes.PropertyDeclaration now checks the order of property modifier keywords
    - This is a rule that is documented in PSR-2 but was not enforced by the included PSR2 standard until now

    - The error is thrown when the comma is found but not required, so the error code was incorrect
    - If you are referencing the old error code in a ruleset XML file, please use the new code instead
    - If you wish to maintain backwards compatibility, you can provide rules for both the old and new codes
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Thanks to Walt Sorensen and Juliette Reinders Folmer for helping to remove all HHVM exceptions from the core

### Changed
- The full report (the default report) now has improved word wrapping for multi-line messages and sniff codes
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The summary report now sorts files based on their directory location instead of just a basic string sort
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The junit report no longer generates validation errors with the Jenkins xUnit plugin
    - Thanks to Nikolay Geo for the patch
- Generic.Commenting.DocComment no longer generates the SpacingBeforeTags error if tags are the first content in the docblock
    - The sniff will still generate a MissingShort error if there is no short comment
    - This allows the MissingShort error to be suppressed in a ruleset to make short descriptions optional
- Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing now properly fixes multi-line function calls with leading commas
    - Previously, newlines between function arguments would be removed
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.PHP.Syntax will now use PHP_BINARY instead of trying to discover the executable path
    - This ensures that the sniff will always syntax check files using the PHP version that PHPCS is running under
    - Setting the php_path config var will still override this value as normal
    - Thanks to Willem Stuursma-Ruwen for the patch
- PSR2.Namespaces.UseDeclaration now supports commas at the end of group use declarations
    - Also improves checking and fixing for use statements containing parse errors
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Arrays.ArrayDeclaration no longer removes the array opening brace while fixing
    - This could occur when the opening brace was on a new line and the first array key directly followed
    - This change also stops the KeyNotAligned error message being incorrectly reported in these cases
- Squiz.Arrays.ArrayDeclaration no longer tries to change multi-line arrays to single line when they contain comments
    - Fixes a conflict between this sniff and some indentation sniffs
- Squiz.Classes.ClassDeclaration no longer enforces spacing rules when a class is followed by a function
    - Fixes a conflict between this sniff and the Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacing sniff
- The Squiz.Classes.ValidClassName.NotCamelCaps message now references PascalCase instead of CamelCase
    - The "CamelCase class name" metric produced by the sniff has been changed to "PascalCase class name"
    - This reflects the fact that the class name check is actually a Pascal Case check and not really Camel Case
    - Thanks to Tom H Anderson for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.InlineComment no longer enforces spacing rules when an inline comment is followed by a docblock
    - Fixes a conflict between this sniff and the Squiz.WhiteSpace.FunctionSpacing sniff
- Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing no longer tries to fix operator spacing if the next content is a comment on a new line

## [3.3.0] - 2018-06-07
### Deprecated
- The Squiz.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing sniff has been deprecated and will be removed in version 4
    - The sniff has been moved to the Generic standard, with a new code of Generic.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing
    - As soon as possible, replace all instances of the old sniff code with the new sniff code in your ruleset.xml files
        - The existing Squiz sniff will continue to work until version 4 has been released
    - The new Generic sniff now also checks many more language constructs to enforce additional spacing rules
        - Thanks to Mponos George for the contribution
- The current method for setting array properties in ruleset files has been deprecated and will be removed in version 4
    - Currently, setting an array value uses the string syntax "print=>echo,create_function=>null"
    - Now, individual array elements are specified using a new "element" tag with "key" and "value" attributes
        - For example, element key="print" value="echo"
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- The T_ARRAY_HINT token has been deprecated and will be removed in version 4
    - The token was used to ensure array type hints were not tokenized as T_ARRAY, but no other type hints were given a special token
    - Array type hints now use the standard T_STRING token instead
    - Sniffs referencing this token type will continue to run without error until version 4, but will not find any T_ARRAY_HINT tokens
- The T_RETURN_TYPE token has been deprecated and will be removed in version 4
    - The token was used to ensure array/self/parent/callable return types were tokenized consistently
    - For namespaced return types, only the last part of the string (the class name) was tokenized as T_RETURN_TYPE
    - This was not consistent and so return types are now left using their original token types so they are not skipped by sniffs
        - The exception are array return types, which are tokenized as T_STRING instead of T_ARRAY, as they are for type hints
    - Sniffs referencing this token type will continue to run without error until version 4, but will not find any T_RETUTN_TYPE tokens
    - To get the return type of a function, use the File::getMethodProperties() method, which now contains a "return_type" array index
        - This contains the return type of the function or closer, or a blank string if not specified
        - If the return type is nullable, the return type will contain the leading ?
            - A nullable_return_type array index in the return value will also be set to true
        - If the return type contains namespace information, it will be cleaned of whitespace and comments
            - To access the original return value string, use the main tokens array

### Added
- This release contains an incomplete version of the PSR-12 coding standard
    - Errors found using this standard should be valid, but it will miss a lot of violations until it is complete
    - If you'd like to test and help, you can use the standard by running PHPCS with --standard=PSR12

### Changed
- Config values set using --runtime-set now override any config values set in rulesets or the CodeSniffer.conf file
- You can now apply include-pattern rules to individual message codes in a ruleset like you can with exclude-pattern rules
    - Previously, include-pattern rules only applied to entire sniffs
    - If a message code has both include and exclude patterns, the exclude patterns will be ignored
- Using PHPCS annotations to selectively re-enable sniffs is now more flexible
    - Previously, you could only re-enable a sniff/category/standard using the exact same code that was disabled
    - Now, you can disable a standard and only re-enable a specific category or sniff
    - Or, you can disable a specific sniff and have it re-enable when you re-enable the category or standard
- The value of array sniff properties can now be set using phpcs:set annotations
    - e.g., phpcs:set Standard.Category.SniffName property[] key=>value,key2=>value2
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- PHPCS annotations now remain as T_PHPCS_* tokens instead of reverting to comment tokens when --ignore-annotations is used
    - This stops sniffs (especially commenting sniffs) from generating a large number of false errors when ignoring
    - Any custom sniffs that are using the T_PHPCS_* tokens to detect annotations may need to be changed to ignore them
        - Check $phpcsFile->config->annotations to see if annotations are enabled and ignore when false
- You can now use fully or partially qualified class names for custom reports instead of absolute file paths
    - To support this, you must specify an autoload file in your ruleset.xml file and use it to register an autoloader
    - Your autoloader will need to load your custom report class when requested
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The JSON report format now does escaping in error source codes as well as error messages
    - Thanks to Martin Vasel for the patch
- Invalid installed_paths values are now ignored instead of causing a fatal error
- Improved testability of custom rulesets by allowing the installed standards to be overridden
    - Thanks to Timo Schinkel for the patch
- The key used for caching PHPCS runs now includes all set config values
    - This fixes a problem where changing config values (e.g., via --runtime-set) used an incorrect cache file
- The "Function opening brace placement" metric has been separated into function and closure metrics in the info report
    - Closures are no longer included in the "Function opening brace placement" metric
    - A new "Closure opening brace placement" metric now shows information for closures
- Multi-line T_YIELD_FROM statements are now replicated properly for older PHP versions
- The PSR2 standard no longer produces 2 error messages when the AS keyword in a foreach loop is not lowercase
- Specifying a path to a non-existent dir when using the --report-[reportType]=/path/to/report CLI option no longer throws an exception
    - This now prints a readable error message, as it does when using --report-file
- The File::getMethodParamaters() method now includes a type_hint_token array index in the return value
    - Provides the position in the token stack of the first token in the type hint
- The File::getMethodProperties() method now includes a return_type_token array index in the return value
    - Provides the position in the token stack of the first token in the return type
- The File::getTokensAsString() method can now optionally return original (non tab-replaced) content
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Removed Squiz.PHP.DisallowObEndFlush from the Squiz standard
    - If you use this sniff and want to continue banning ob_end_flush(), use Generic.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions instead
    - You will need to set the forbiddenFunctions property in your ruleset.xml file
- Removed Squiz.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions from the Squiz standard
    - Replaced by using the forbiddenFunctions property of Generic.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions in the Squiz ruleset.xml
    - Functionality of the Squiz standard remains the same, but the error codes are now different
    - Previously, Squiz.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions.Found and Squiz.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions.FoundWithAlternative
    - Now, Generic.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions.Found and Generic.PHP.ForbiddenFunctions.FoundWithAlternative
- Added new Generic.PHP.LowerCaseType sniff
    - Ensures PHP types used for type hints, return types, and type casting are lowercase
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Added new Generic.WhiteSpace.ArbitraryParenthesesSpacing sniff
    - Generates an error for whitespace inside parenthesis that don't belong to a function call/declaration or control structure
    - Generates a warning for any empty parenthesis found
    - Allows the required spacing to be set using the spacing sniff property (default is 0)
    - Allows newlines to be used by setting the ignoreNewlines sniff property (default is false)
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Added new PSR12.Classes.ClassInstantiation sniff
    - Ensures parenthesis are used when instantiating a new class
- Added new PSR12.Keywords.ShortFormTypeKeywords sniff
    - Ensures the short form of PHP types is used when type casting
- Added new PSR12.Namespaces.CompundNamespaceDepth sniff
    - Ensures compound namespace use statements have a max depth of 2 levels
    - The max depth can be changed by setting the 'maxDepth' sniff property in a ruleset.xml file
- Added new PSR12.Operators.OperatorSpacing sniff
    - Ensures operators are preceded and followed by at least 1 space
- Improved core support for grouped property declarations
    - Also improves support in Squiz.WhiteSpace.ScopeKeywordSpacing and Squiz.WhiteSpace.MemberVarSpacing
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.Commenting.DocComment now produces a NonParamGroup error when tags are mixed in with the @param tag group
    - It would previously throw either a NonParamGroup or ParamGroup error depending on the order of tags
    - This change allows the NonParamGroup error to be suppressed in a ruleset to allow the @param group to contain other tags
    - Thanks to Phil Davis for the patch
- Generic.Commenting.DocComment now continues checks param tags even if the doc comment short description is missing
    - This change allows the MissingShort error to be suppressed in a ruleset without all other errors being suppressed as well
    - Thanks to Phil Davis for the patch
- Generic.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition now reports a different error code for assignments found in WHILE conditions
    - The return value of a function call is often assigned in a WHILE condition, so this change makes it easier to exclude these cases
    - The new code for this error message is Generic.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition.FoundInWhileCondition
    - The error code for all other cases remains as Generic.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition.Found
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.Functions.OpeningFunctionBraceBsdAllman now longer leaves trailing whitespace when moving the opening brace during fixing
    - Also applies to fixes made by PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration and Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration
- Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent now does a better job of fixing the indent of multi-line comments
- Generic.WhiteSpace.ScopeIndent now does a better job of fixing the indent of PHP open and close tags
- PEAR.Commenting.FunctionComment now report a different error code for param comment lines with too much padding
    - Previously, any lines of a param comment that don't start at the exact comment position got the same error code
    - Now, only comment lines with too little padding use ParamCommentAlignment as they are clearly mistakes
    - Comment lines with too much padding may be using precision alignment as now use ParamCommentAlignmentExceeded
    - This allows for excessive padding to be excluded from a ruleset while continuing to enforce a minimum padding
- PEAR.WhiteSpace.ObjectOperatorIndent now checks the indent of more chained operators
    - Previously, it only checked chains beginning with a variable
    - Now, it checks chains beginning with function calls, static class names, etc
- Squiz.Arrays.ArrayDeclaration now continues checking array formatting even if the key indent is not correct
    - Allows for using different array indent rules while still checking/fixing double arrow and value alignment
- Squiz.Commenting.BlockComment has improved support for tab-indented comments
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.BlockComment auto fixing no longer breaks when two block comments follow each other
    - Also stopped single-line block comments from being auto fixed when they are embedded in other code
    - Also fixed as issue found when PHPCS annotations were used inside a block comment
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.BlockComment.LastLineIndent is now able to be fixed with phpcbf
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.BlockComment now aligns star-prefixed lines under the opening tag while fixing, instead of indenting them
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment.IncorrectTypeHint message no longer contains cut-off suggested type hints
- Squiz.Commenting.InlineComment now uses a new error code for inline comments at the end of a function
    - Previously, all inline comments followed by a blank line threw a Squiz.Commenting.InlineComment.SpacingAfter error
    - Now, inline comments at the end of a function will instead throw Squiz.Commenting.InlineComment.SpacingAfterAtFunctionEnd
    - If you previously excluded SpacingAfter, add an exclusion for SpacingAfterAtFunctionEnd to your ruleset as well
    - If you previously only included SpacingAfter, consider including SpacingAfterAtFunctionEnd as well
    - The Squiz standard now excludes SpacingAfterAtFunctionEnd as the blank line is checked elsewhere
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.ControlStructures.ControlSignature now errors when a comment follows the closing brace of an earlier body
    - Applies to catch, finally, else, elseif, and do/while structures
    - The included PSR2 standard now enforces this rule
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Formatting.OperatorBracket.MissingBrackets message has been changed to remove the word "arithmetic"
    - The sniff checks more than just arithmetic operators, so the message is now clearer
- Sniffs.Operators.ComparisonOperatorUsage now detects more cases of implicit true comparisons
    - It could previously be confused by comparisons used as function arguments
- Squiz.PHP.CommentedOutCode now ignores simple @-style annotation comments so they are not flagged as commented out code
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.PHP.CommentedOutCode now ignores a greater number of short comments so they are not flagged as commented out code
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.PHP.DisallowComparisonAssignment no longer errors when using the null coalescing operator
    - Given this operator is used almost exclusively to assign values, it didn't make sense to generate an error
- Squiz.WhiteSpacing.FunctionSpacing now has a property to specify how many blank lines should be before the first class method
    - Only applies when a method is the first code block in a class (i.e., there are no member vars before it)
    - Override the 'spacingBeforeFirst' property in a ruleset.xml file to change
    - If not set, the sniff will use whatever value is set for the existing 'spacing' property
- Squiz.WhiteSpacing.FunctionSpacing now has a property to specify how many blank lines should be after the last class method
    - Only applies when a method is the last code block in a class (i.e., there are no member vars after it)
    - Override the 'spacingAfterLast' property in a ruleset.xml file to change
    - If not set, the sniff will use whatever value is set for the existing 'spacing' property

## [3.2.3] - 2018-02-21
### Changed
- The new phpcs: comment syntax can now be prefixed with an at symbol ( @phpcs: )
    - This restores the behaviour of the previous syntax where these comments are ignored by doc generators
- The current PHP version ID is now used to generate cache files
    - This ensures that only cache files generated by the current PHP version are selected

## [3.2.0] - 2017-12-13
### Deprecated
- This release deprecates the @codingStandards comment syntax used for sending commands to PHP_CodeSniffer
    - The existing syntax will continue to work in all version 3 releases, but will be removed in version 4
    - The comment formats have been replaced by a shorter syntax:
        - @codingStandardsIgnoreFile becomes phpcs:ignoreFile
        - @codingStandardsIgnoreStart becomes phpcs:disable
        - @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd becomes phpcs:enable
        - @codingStandardsIgnoreLine becomes phpcs:ignore
        - @codingStandardsChangeSetting becomes phpcs:set
    - The new syntax allows for additional developer comments to be added after a -- separator
        - This is useful for describing why a code block is being ignored, or why a setting is being changed
        - E.g., phpcs:disable -- This code block must be left as-is.
    - Comments using the new syntax are assigned new comment token types to allow them to be detected:
        - phpcs:ignoreFile has the token T_PHPCS_IGNORE_FILE
        - phpcs:disable has the token T_PHPCS_DISABLE
        - phpcs:enable has the token T_PHPCS_ENABLE
        - phpcs:ignore has the token T_PHPCS_IGNORE
        - phpcs:set has the token T_PHPCS_SET

### Changed
- The phpcs:disable and phpcs:ignore comments can now selectively ignore specific sniffs (request #604)
    - E.g., phpcs:disable Generic.Commenting.Todo.Found for a specific message
    - E.g., phpcs:disable Generic.Commenting.Todo for a whole sniff
    - E.g., phpcs:disable Generic.Commenting for a whole category of sniffs
    - E.g., phpcs:disable Generic for a whole standard
    - Multiple sniff codes can be specified by comma separating them
        - E.g., phpcs:disable Generic.Commenting.Todo,PSR1.Files
- @codingStandardsIgnoreLine comments now only ignore the following line if they are on a line by themselves
    - If they are at the end of an existing line, they will only ignore the line they are on
    - Stops some lines from accidentally being ignored
    - Same rule applies for the new phpcs:ignore comment syntax
- PSR1.Files.SideEffects now respects the new phpcs:disable comment syntax
    - The sniff will no longer check any code that is between phpcs:disable and phpcs:enable comments
    - The sniff does not support phpcs:ignore; you must wrap code structures with disable/enable comments
    - Previously, there was no way to have this sniff ignore parts of a file
- Fixed a problem where PHPCS would sometimes hang waiting for STDIN, or read incomplete versions of large files
    - Thanks to Arne Jørgensen for the patch
- Array properties specified in ruleset files now have their keys and values trimmed
    - This saves having to do this in individual sniffs and stops errors introduced by whitespace in rulesets
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Added phpcs.xsd to allow validation of ruleset XML files
    - Thanks to Renaat De Muynck for the contribution
- File paths specified using --stdin-path can now point to fake file locations (request #1488)
    - Previously, STDIN files using fake file paths were excluded from checking
- Setting an empty basepath (--basepath=) on the CLI will now clear a basepath set directly in a ruleset
    - Thanks to Xaver Loppenstedt for the patch
- Ignore patterns are now checked on symlink target paths instead of symlink source paths
    - Restores previous behaviour of this feature
- Metrics were being double counted when multiple sniffs were recording the same metric

    - Thanks to Scott Dutton for the contribution
- Files included in the cache file code hash are now sorted to aid in cache file reuse across servers
- Windows BAT files can now be used outside a PEAR install
    - You must have the path to PHP set in your PATH environment variable

    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- The AbstractVariableSniff abstract sniff now supports anonymous classes and nested functions
    - Also fixes an issue with Squiz.Scope.MemberVarScope where member vars of anonymous classes were not being checked
- Added AbstractArraySniff to make it easier to create sniffs that check array formatting
    - Allows for checking of single and multi line arrays easily
    - Provides a parsed structure of the array including positions of keys, values, and double arrows
- Added Generic.Arrays.ArrayIndent to enforce a single tab stop indent for array keys in multi-line arrays
    - Also ensures the close brace is on a new line and indented to the same level as the original statement
    - Allows for the indent size to be set using an "indent" property of the sniff
- Added Generic.PHP.DiscourageGoto to warn about the use of the GOTO language construct
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Generic.Debug.ClosureLinter was not running the gjslint command

- Squiz.Functions.FunctionDeclarationArgumentSpacing is no longer confused about comments in function declarations
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Override the 'requiredSpacesBeforeColon' setting in a ruleset.xml file to change
    - Default remains at 1
    - Thanks to Nikola Kovacs for the patch
- The Squiz standard now ensures array keys are indented 4 spaces from the main statement
    - Previously, this standard aligned keys 1 space from the start of the array keyword
- The Squiz standard now ensures array end braces are aligned with the main statement
    - Previously, this standard aligned the close brace with the start of the array keyword
- The standard for PHP_CodeSniffer itself now enforces short array syntax

## [3.1.0] - 2017-09-20
### Changed
- This release includes a change to support newer versions of PHPUnit (versions 4, 5, and 6 are now supported)
    - The custom PHP_CodeSniffer test runner now requires a bootstrap file
    - Developers with custom standards using the PHP_CodeSniffer test runner will need to do one of the following:
      - run your unit tests from the PHP_CodeSniffer root dir so the bootstrap file is included
      - specify the PHP_CodeSniffer bootstrap file on the command line: phpunit --bootstrap=/path/to/phpcs/tests/bootstrap.php
      - require the PHP_CodeSniffer bootstrap file from your own bootstrap file
    - If you don't run PHP_CodeSniffer unit tests, this change will not affect you
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- A phpcs.xml or phpcs.xml.dist file now takes precedence over the default_standard config setting
    - Thanks to Björn Fischer for the patch
- Both phpcs.xml and phpcs.xml.dist files can now be prefixed with a dot (request #1566)
    - The order that the files are searched is: .phpcs.xml, .phpcs.xml.dist, phpcs.xml, phpcs.xml.dist
- The autoloader will now search for files during unit tests runs from the same locations as during normal phpcs runs
    - Allows for easier unit testing of custom standards that use helper classes or custom namespaces
- Include patterns for sniffs now use OR logic instead of AND logic
    - Previously, a file had to be in each of the include patterns to be processed by a sniff
    - Now, a file has to only be in at least one of the patterns
    - This change reflects the original intention of the feature
- PHPCS will now follow symlinks under the list of checked directories
    - This previously only worked if you specified the path to a symlink on the command line
- Output from --config-show, --config-set, and --config-delete now includes the path to the loaded config file
- PHPCS now cleanly exits if its config file is not readable
    - Previously, a combination of PHP notices and PHPCS errors would be generated

    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- The PHP-supplied T_YIELD and T_YIELD_FROM token have been replicated for older PHP versions
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Added new Generic.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition sniff to warn about variable assignments inside conditions
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the contribution
- Added Generic.Files.OneObjectStructurePerFile sniff to ensure there is a single class/interface/trait per file
    - Thanks to Mponos George for the contribution
- Function call sniffs now check variable function names and self/static object creation
    - Specific sniffs are Generic.Functions.FunctionCallArgumentSpacing, PEAR.Functions.FunctionCallSignature, and   PSR2.Methods.FunctionCallSignature
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Generic.Files.LineLength can now be configured to ignore all comment lines, no matter their length
    - Set the ignoreComments property to TRUE (default is FALSE) in your ruleset.xml file to enable this
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Generic.PHP.LowerCaseKeyword now checks self, parent, yield, yield from, and closure (function) keywords

    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

## [3.0.2] - 2017-07-18
### Changed
- The code report now gracefully handles tokenizer exceptions
- The phpcs and phpcbf scripts and now the only places that exit() in the code
    - This allows for easier usage of core PHPCS functions from external scripts
    - If you are calling Runner::runPHPCS() or Runner::runPHPCBF() directly, you will get back the full range of exit codes
    - If not, catch the new DeepExitException to get the error message ($e->getMessage()) and exit code ($e->getCode());
- NOWDOC tokens are now considered conditions, just as HEREDOC tokens are
    - This makes it easier to find the start and end of a NOWDOC from any token within it
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Custom autoloaders are now only included once in case multiple standards are using the same one
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Improved tokenizing of fallthrough CASE and DEFAULT statements that share a closing statement and use curly braces

## [3.0.1] - 2017-06-14
### Security
- This release contains a fix for a security advisory related to the improper handling of a shell command
    - A properly crafted filename would allow for arbitrary code execution when using the --filter=gitmodified command line option
    - All version 3 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially if you are checking 3rd-party code
        - e.g., you run PHPCS over libraries that you did not write
        - e.g., you provide a web service that runs PHPCS over user-uploaded files or 3rd-party repositories
        - e.g., you allow external tool paths to be set by user-defined values
    - If you are unable to upgrade but you check 3rd-party code, ensure you are not using the Git modified filter
    - This advisory does not affect PHP_CodeSniffer version 2.
    - Thanks to Sergei Morozov for the report and patch

### Changed
- Arguments on the command line now override or merge with those specified in a ruleset.xml file in all cases
- PHPCS now stops looking for a phpcs.xml file as soon as one is found, favoring the closest one to the current dir
- Added missing help text for the --stdin-path CLI option to --help
- Re-added missing help text for the --file-list and --bootstrap CLI options to --help
- Runner::runPHPCS() and Runner::runPHPCBF() now return an exit code instead of exiting directly (request #1484)
- The Squiz standard now enforces short array syntax by default
- The autoloader is now working correctly with classes created with class_alias()
- The autoloader will now search for files inside all directories in the installed_paths config var
    - This allows autoloading of files inside included custom coding standards without manually requiring them
- You can now specify a namespace for a custom coding standard, used by the autoloader to load non-sniff helper files
    - Also used by the autoloader to help other standards directly include sniffs for your standard
    - Set the value to the namespace prefix you are using for sniff files (everything up to \Sniffs\)
    - e.g., if your namespace format is MyProject\CS\Standard\Sniffs\Category set the namespace to MyProject\CS\Standard
    - If omitted, the namespace is assumed to be the same as the directory name containing the ruleset.xml file
    - The namespace is set in the ruleset tag of the ruleset.xml file
    - e.g., ruleset name="My Coding Standard" namespace="MyProject\CS\Standard"
- Rulesets can now specify custom autoloaders using the new autoload tag
    - Autoloaders are included while the ruleset is being processed and before any custom sniffs are included
    - Allows for very custom autoloading of helper classes well before the boostrap files are included
- The PEAR standard now includes Squiz.Commenting.DocCommentAlignment
    - It previously broke comments onto multiple lines, but didn't align them

### Fixed
- Fixed a problem where excluding a message from a custom standard's own sniff would exclude the whole sniff
    - This caused some PSR2 errors to be under-reported
- Fixed bug #1442 : T_NULLABLE detection not working for nullable parameters and return type hints in some cases
- Fixed bug #1447 : Running the unit tests with a phpunit config file breaks the test suite
    - Unknown arguments were not being handled correctly, but are now stored in $config->unknown
- Fixed bug #1449 : Generic.Classes.OpeningBraceSameLine doesn't detect comment before opening brace
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Fixed bug #1450 : Coding standard located under an installed_path with the same directory name throws an error
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Fixed bug #1451 : Sniff exclusions/restrictions dont work with custom sniffs unless they use the PHP_CodeSniffer NS
- Fixed bug #1454 : Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing is not checking spacing on either side of a short ternary operator
    - Thanks to Mponos George for the patch
- Fixed bug #1495 : Setting an invalid installed path breaks all commands
- Fixed bug #1496 : Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage not unescaping dollar sign when fixing
    - Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch
- Fixed bug #1501 : Interactive mode is broken
- Fixed bug #1504 : PSR2.Namespaces.UseDeclaration hangs fixing use statement with no trailing code

## [2.9.1] - 2017-05-22
### Fixed
- Fixed bug #1442 : T_NULLABLE detection not working for nullable parameters and return type hints in some cases
- Fixed bug #1448 : Generic.Classes.OpeningBraceSameLine doesn't detect comment before opening brace
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

## [3.0.0] - 2017-05-04
### Changed
- Added an --ignore-annotations command line argument to ignore all @codingStandards annotations in code comments (request #811)
- This allows you to force errors to be shown that would otherwise be ignored by code comments
    - Also stop files being able to change sniff properties mid way through processing
- An error is now reported if no sniffs were registered to be run (request #1129)
- The autoloader will now search for files inside the directory of any loaded coding standard
    - This allows autoloading of any file inside a custom coding standard without manually requiring them
    - Ensure your namespace begins with your coding standard's directory name and follows PSR-4
    - e.g., StandardName\Sniffs\CategoryName\AbstractHelper or StandardName\Helpers\StringSniffHelper
- Fixed an error where STDIN was sometimes not checked when using the --parallel CLI option
- The is_closure index has been removed from the return value of File::getMethodProperties()
    - This value was always false because T_FUNCTION tokens are never closures
    - Closures have a token type of T_CLOSURE
- The File::isAnonymousFunction() method has been removed
    - This function always returned false because it only accepted T_FUNCTION tokens, which are never closures
    - Closures have a token type of T_CLOSURE
- Includes all changes from the 2.9.0 release

### Fixed
- Fixed bug #834 : PSR2.ControlStructures.SwitchDeclaration does not handle if branches with returns
    - Thanks to Fabian Wiget for the patch

## [3.0.0RC4] - 2017-03-02
### Security
- This release contains a fix for a security advisory related to the improper handling of shell commands
    - Uses of shell_exec() and exec() were not escaping filenames and configuration settings in most cases
    - A properly crafted filename or configuration option would allow for arbitrary code execution when using some features
    - All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially if you are checking 3rd-party code
        - e.g., you run PHPCS over libraries that you did not write
        - e.g., you provide a web service that runs PHPCS over user-uploaded files or 3rd-party repositories
        - e.g., you allow external tool paths to be set by user-defined values
    - If you are unable to upgrade but you check 3rd-party code, ensure you are not using the following features:
        - The diff report
        - The notify-send report
        - The Generic.PHP.Syntax sniff
        - The Generic.Debug.CSSLint sniff
        - The Generic.Debug.ClosureLinter sniff
        - The Generic.Debug.JSHint sniff
        - The Squiz.Debug.JSLint sniff
        - The Squiz.Debug.JavaScriptLint sniff
        - The Zend.Debug.CodeAnalyzer sniff
    - Thanks to Klaus Purer for the report

### Changed
- The indent property of PEAR.Classes.ClassDeclaration has been removed
    - Instead of calculating the indent of the brace, it just ensures the brace is aligned with the class keyword
    - Other sniffs can be used to ensure the class itself is indented correctly
- Invalid exclude rules inside a ruleset.xml file are now ignored instead of potentially causing out of memory errors
    - Using the -vv command line argument now also shows the invalid exclude rule as XML
- Includes all changes from the 2.8.1 release

### Fixed
- Fixed bug #1333 : The new autoloader breaks some frameworks with custom autoloaders
- Fixed bug #1334 : Undefined offset when explaining standard with custom sniffs

## [3.0.0RC3] - 2017-02-02
### Changed
- Added support for ES6 class declarations
    - Previously, these class were tokenized as JS objects but are now tokenized as normal T_CLASS structures
- Added support for ES6 method declarations, where the "function" keyword is not used
    - Previously, these methods were tokenized as JS objects (fixes bug #1251)
    - The name of the ES6 method is now assigned the T_FUNCTION keyword and treated like a normal function
    - Custom sniffs that support JS and listen for T_FUNCTION tokens can't assume the token represents the word   "function"
    - Check the contents of the token first, or use $phpcsFile->getDeclarationName($stackPtr) if you just want its name
    - There is no change for custom sniffs that only check PHP code
- PHPCBF exit codes have been changed so they are now more useful (request #1270)
    - Exit code 0 is now used to indicate that no fixable errors were found, and so nothing was fixed
    - Exit code 1 is now used to indicate that all fixable errors were fixed correctly
    - Exit code 2 is now used to indicate that PHPCBF failed to fix some of the fixable errors it found
    - Exit code 3 is now used for general script execution errors
- Added PEAR.Commenting.FileComment.ParamCommentAlignment to check alignment of multi-line param comments
- Includes all changes from the 2.8.0 release

### Fixed
- Fixed an issue where excluding a file using a @codingStandardsIgnoreFile comment would produce errors
    - For PHPCS, it would show empty files being processed
    - For PHPCBF, it would produce a PHP error
- Fixed bug #1233 : Can't set config data inside ruleset.xml file
- Fixed bug #1241 : CodeSniffer.conf not working with 3.x PHAR file

## [3.0.0RC2] - 2016-11-30
### Changed
- Made the Runner class easier to use with wrapper scripts
- Full usage information is no longer printed when a usage error is encountered (request #1186)
    - Makes it a lot easier to find and read the error message that was printed
- Includes all changes from the 2.7.1 release

### Fixed
- Fixed an undefined var name error that could be produced while running PHPCBF
- Fixed bug #1167 : 3.0.0RC1 PHAR does not work with PEAR standard
- Fixed bug #1208 : Excluding files doesn't work when using STDIN with a filename specified

## [3.0.0RC1] - 2016-09-02
### Changed
- Progress output now shows E and W in green when a file has fixable errors or warnings
    - Only supported if colors are enabled
- PHPCBF no longer produces verbose output by default (request #699)
    - Use the -v command line argument to show verbose fixing output
    - Use the -q command line argument to disable verbose information if enabled by default
- PHPBF now prints a summary report after fixing files
    - Report shows files that were fixed, how many errors were fixed, and how many remain
- PHPCBF now supports the -p command line argument to print progress information
    - Prints a green F for files where fixes occurred
    - Prints a red E for files that could not be fixed due to an error
    - Use the -q command line argument to disable progress information if enabled by default
- Running unit tests using --verbose no longer throws errors
- Includes all changes from the 2.7.0 release

### Fixed
- Fixed shell error appearing on some systems when trying to find executable paths

## [3.0.0a1] - 2016-07-20
### Changed
- Min PHP version increased from 5.1.2 to 5.4.0
- Added optional caching of results between runs (request #530)
    - Enable the cache by using the --cache command line argument
    - If you want the cache file written somewhere specific, use --cache=/path/to/cacheFile
    - Use the command "phpcs --config-set cache true" to turn caching on by default
    - Use the --no-cache command line argument to disable caching if it is being turned on automatically
- Add support for checking file in parallel (request #421)
    - Tell PHPCS how many files to check at once using the --parallel command line argument
    - To check 100 files at once, using --parallel=100
    - To disable parallel checking if it is being turned on automatically, use --parallel=1
    - Requires PHP to be compiled with the PCNTL package
- The default encoding has been changed from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 (request #760)
    - The --encoding command line argument still works, but you no longer have to set it to process files as utf-8
    - If encoding is being set to utf-8 in a ruleset or on the CLI, it can be safely removed
    - If the iconv PHP extension is not installed, standard non-multibyte aware functions will be used
- Added a new "code" report type to show a code snippet for each error (request #419)
    - The line containing the error is printed, along with 2 lines above and below it to show context
    - The location of the errors is underlined in the code snippet if you also use --colors
    - Use --report=code to generate this report
- Added support for custom filtering of the file list
    - Developers can write their own filter classes to perform custom filtering of the list before the run starts
    - Use the command line arg --filter=/path/to/filter.php to specify a filter to use
    - Extend \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\Filter to also support the core PHPCS extension and path filtering
    - Extend \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\ExactMatch to get the core filtering and the ability to use blacklists and whitelists
    - The included \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\GitModified filter is a good example of an ExactMatch filter
- Added support for only checking files that have been locally modified or added in a git repo
    - Use --filter=gitmodified to check these files
    - You still need to give PHPCS a list of files or directories in which to check
- Added automatic discovery of executable paths (request #571)
    - Thanks to Sergey Morozov for the patch
- You must now pass "-" on the command line to have PHPCS wait for STDIN
    - E.g., phpcs --standard=PSR2 -
    - You can still pipe content via STDIN as normal as PHPCS will see this and process it
    - But without the "-", PHPCS will throw an error if no content or files are passed to it
- All PHP errors generated by sniffs are caught, re-thrown as exceptions, and reported in the standard error reports
    - This should stop bugs inside sniffs causing infinite loops
    - Also stops invalid reports being produced as errors don't print to the screen directly
- Sniff codes are no longer optional
    - If a sniff throws and error or a warning, it must specify an internal code for that message
- The installed_paths config setting can now point directly to a standard
    - Previously, it had to always point to the directory in which the standard lives
- Multiple reports can now be specified using the --report command line argument
    - Report types are separated by commas
    - E.g., --report=full,summary,info
    - Previously, you had to use one argument for each report such as --report=full --report=summary --report=info
- You can now set the severity, message type, and exclude patterns for and entire sniff, category, or standard
    - Previously, this was only available for a single message
- You can now include a single sniff code in a ruleset instead of having to include an entire sniff
    - Including a sniff code will automatically exclude all other messages from that sniff
    - If the sniff is already included by an imported standard, set the sniff severity to 0 and include the specific message you want
- PHPCBF no longer uses patch
    - Files are now always overwritten
    - The --no-patch option has been removed
- Added a --basepath option to strip a directory from the front of file paths in output (request #470)
    - The basepath is absolute or relative to the current directory
    - E.g., to output paths relative to current dir in reports, use --basepath=.
- Ignore rules are now checked when using STDIN (request #733)
- Added an include-pattern tag to rulesets to include a sniff for specific files and folders only (request #656)
    - This is the exact opposite of the exclude-pattern tag
    - This option is only usable within sniffs, not globally like exclude-patterns are
- Added a new -m option to stop error messages from being recorded, which saves a lot of memory
    - PHPCBF always uses this setting to reduce memory as it never outputs error messages
    - Setting the $recordErrors member var inside custom report classes is no longer supported (use -m instead)
- Exit code 2 is now used to indicate fixable errors were found (request #930)
    - Exit code 3 is now used for general script execution errors
    - Exit code 1 is used to indicate that coding standard errors were found, but none are fixable
    - Exit code 0 is unchanged and continues to mean no coding standard errors found

### Removed
- The included PHPCS standard has been removed
    - All rules are now found inside the phpcs.xml.dist file
    - Running "phpcs" without any arguments from a git clone will use this ruleset
- The included SVN pre-commit hook has been removed
    - Hooks for version control systems will no longer be maintained within the PHPCS project

## [2.9.0] - 2017-05-04

    - Previously, only the first part of the indent was used to determine the indent type
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch

    - Thanks to Gonçalo Queirós for the patch
- Fixed bug #1432 : PHPCBF can make invalid fixes to inline JS control structures that make use of JS objects

## [2.8.1] - 2017-03-02
### Security
- This release contains a fix for a security advisory related to the improper handling of shell commands
    - Uses of shell_exec() and exec() were not escaping filenames and configuration settings in most cases
    - A properly crafted filename or configuration option would allow for arbitrary code execution when using some features
    - All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, especially if you are checking 3rd-party code
          - e.g., you run PHPCS over libraries that you did not write
          - e.g., you provide a web service that runs PHPCS over user-uploaded files or 3rd-party repositories
          - e.g., you allow external tool paths to be set by user-defined values
    - If you are unable to upgrade but you check 3rd-party code, ensure you are not using the following features:
          - The diff report
          - The notify-send report
          - The Generic.PHP.Syntax sniff
          - The Generic.Debug.CSSLint sniff
          - The Generic.Debug.ClosureLinter sniff

- Generic.Functions.OpeningFunctionBraceKernighanRitchie now ignores spacing for function return types
    - The sniff code Generic.Functions.OpeningFunctionBraceKernighanRitchie.SpaceAfterBracket has been removed

    - The new error message is slightly clearer as it indicates that a single space is needed before the brace
- Squiz.Commenting.LongConditionClosingComment now allows for the length of a code block to be configured
    - Set the lineLimit property (default is 20) in your ruleset.xml file to set the code block length
    - When the code block length is reached, the sniff will enforce a closing comment after the closing brace
    - Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
- Squiz.Commenting.LongConditionClosingComment now allows for the end comment format to be configured
    - Set the commentFormat property (default is "//end %s") in your ruleset.xml file to set the format

## [2.6.0] - 2016-04-04
### Changed
- Paths used when setting CLI arguments inside ruleset.xml files are now relative to the ruleset location (request #847)
    - This change only applies to paths within ARG tags, used to set CLI arguments
    - Previously, the paths were relative to the directory PHPCS was being run from
    - Absolute paths are still allowed and work the same way they always have
    - This change allows ruleset.xml files to be more portable
- Content passed via STDIN will now be processed even if files are specified on the command line or in a ruleset
- When passing content via STDIN, you can now specify the file path to use on the command line (request #934)
    - This allows sniffs that check file paths to work correctly
    - This is the same functionality provided by the phpcs_input_file line, except it is available on the command line
- Files processed with custom tokenizers will no longer be skipped if they appear minified (request #877)
    - If the custom tokenizer wants minified files skipped, it can set a $skipMinified member var to TRUE
    - See the included JS and CSS tokenizers for an example
- Config vars set in ruleset.xml files are now processed earlier, allowing them to be used during sniff registration
    - Among other things, this allows the installed_paths config var to be set in ruleset.xml files
    - Thanks to Pieter Frenssen for the patch
- Improved detection of regular expressions in the JS tokenizer
- Generic PHP Syntax sniff now uses PHP_BINARY (if available) to determine the path to PHP if no other path is available
    - You can still manually set php_path to use a specific binary for testing
    - Thanks to Andrew Berry for the patch
- The PHP-supplied T_POW_EQUAL token has been replicated for PHP versions before 5.6
- Added support for PHP7 use group declarations (request #878)
    - New tokens T_OPEN_USE_GROUP and T_CLOSE_USE_GROUP are assigned to the open and close curly braces
- Generic ScopeIndent sniff now reports errors for every line that needs the indent changed (request #903)
    - Previously, it ignored lines that were indented correctly in the context of their block
    - This change produces more technically accurate error messages, but is much more verbose
- The PSR2 and Squiz standards now allow multi-line default values in function declarations (request #542)
    - Previously, these would automatically make the function a multi-line declaration
- Squiz InlineCommentSniff now allows docblocks on require(_once) and include(_once) statements
    - Thanks to Gary Jones for the patch
- Squiz and PEAR Class and File sniffs no longer assume the first comment in a file is always a file comment
    - phpDocumentor assigns the comment to the file only if it is not followed by a structural element
    - These sniffs now follow this same rule
- Squiz ClassCommentSniff no longer checks for blank lines before class comments
    - Removes the error Squiz.Commenting.ClassComment.SpaceBefore
- Renamed Squiz.CSS.Opacity.SpacingAfterPoint to Squiz.CSS.Opacity.DecimalPrecision
    - Please update your ruleset if you are referencing this error code directly
- Fixed PHP tokenizer problem that caused an infinite loop when checking a comment with specific content
- Generic Disallow Space and Tab indent sniffs now detect and fix indents inside embedded HTML chunks (request #882)
- Squiz CSS IndentationSniff no longer assumes the class opening brace is at the end of a line
- Squiz FunctionCommentThrowTagSniff now ignores non-docblock comments
- Squiz ComparisonOperatorUsageSniff now allows conditions like while(true)
- PEAR FunctionCallSignatureSniff (and the Squiz and PSR2 sniffs that use it) now correctly check the first argument
    - Further fix for bug #698

## [2.0.0a1] - 2014-02-05
### Changed
- Added the phpcbf script to automatically fix many errors found by the phpcs script
- Added report type --report=diff to show suggested changes to fix coding standard violations
- The --report argument now allows for custom reports to be used
    - Use the full path to your custom report class as the report name
- The --extensions argument is now respected when passing filenames; not just with directories
- The --extensions argument now allows you to specify the tokenizer for each extension
    - e.g., --extensions=module/php,es/js
- Command line arguments can now be set in ruleset files
    - e.g., arg name="report" value="summary" (print summary report; same as --report=summary)
    - e.g., arg value="sp" (print source and progress information; same as -sp)
    - The -vvv, --sniffs, --standard and -l command line arguments cannot be set in this way
- Sniff process() methods can not optionally return a token to ignore up to
    - If returned, the sniff will not be executed again until the passed token is reached in the file
    - Useful if you are looking for tokens like T_OPEN_TAG but only want to process the first one
- Removed the comment parser classes and replaced it with a simple comment tokenizer
    - T_DOC_COMMENT tokens are now tokenized into T_DOC_COMMENT_* tokens so they can be used more easily
    - This change requires a significant rewrite of sniffs that use the comment parser
    - This change requires minor changes to sniffs that listen for T_DOC_COMMENT tokens directly
- Added Generic DocCommentSniff to check generic doc block formatting
    - Removed doc block formatting checks from PEAR ClassCommentSniff
    - Removed doc block formatting checks from PEAR FileCommentSniff

- Squiz DocCommentAlignmentSniff has had its error codes changed
    - NoSpaceBeforeTag becomes NoSpaceAfterStar
    - SpaceBeforeTag becomes SpaceAfterStar
    - SpaceBeforeAsterisk becomes SpaceBeforeStar
- Generic MultipleStatementAlignment now aligns assignments within a block so they fit within their max padding setting
    - The sniff previously requested the padding as 1 space if max padding was exceeded
    - It now aligns the assignment with surrounding assignments if it can
    - Removed property ignoreMultiline as multi-line assignments are now handled correctly and should not be ignored
- Squiz FunctionClosingBraceSpaceSniff now requires a blank line before the brace in all cases except function args
- Added error Squiz.Commenting.ClassComment.SpacingAfter to ensure there are no blank lines after a class comment
- Added error Squiz.WhiteSpace.MemberVarSpacing.AfterComment to ensure there are no blank lines after a member var comment
    - Fixes have also been corrected to not strip the member var comment or indent under some circumstances
    - Thanks to Mark Scherer for help with this fix
- Added error Squiz.Commenting.FunctionCommentThrowTag.Missing to ensure a throw is documented
- Removed error Squiz.Commenting.FunctionCommentThrowTag.WrongType

    - Ensure the first line of the content is: phpcs_input_file: /path/to/file
- Squiz coding standard now enforces no closing PHP tag at the end of a pure PHP file
- Squiz coding standard now enforces a single newline character at the end of the file
- Squiz ClassDeclarationSniff no longer checks for a PHP ending tag after a class definition
