To keep informed of the progress of covering "everything PHP 7.4" in PHPCompatibility, please subscribe to issue #808.

Added

• 🌟 New PHPCompatibility.Classes.ForbiddenAbstractPrivateMethods sniff to detect methods declared as both private as well as abstract. This was allowed between PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.4, but disallowed in PHP 5.1 as the behaviour of private and abstract are mutually exclusive. #822

Changed

• ✏️ The PHPCompatibility.Extensions.RemovedExtensions sniff will now only report on the removed Payflow Pro extension when a function uses pfpro_ as a prefix. Previously, it used the pfpro prefix (without underscore) for detection. #812
• ✏️ The error message thrown when the T_ELLIPSIS token, i.e. the spread operator, is detected. #803
  PHP 7.4 adds a third use-case for the spread operator. The adjusted error message accounts for this.
• ☔ PHPCompatibility.FunctionDeclarations.NewParamTypeDeclarations is now also tested with parameters using the splat operator. #802
• 📚 The documentation now uses the GitHub repo of PHP_CodeSniffer as the canonical entry point for PHP_CodeSniffer. Previously, it would point to the PEAR package. #788

• 💚 Travis: build tests are now being run against PHP 7.4 (unstable) as well. #790

• 🔧 Build/PHPCS: warnings are no longer allowed for the PHPCompatibility native code. #800
• 🔧 Build/PHPCS: added variable assignment alignment check and file include check to the PHPCompatibility native CS configuration. #824
• 🔧 The minimum version for the recommended DealerDirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer Composer plugin has been upped to 0.5.0. #791

Fixed

• 🐛 The PHPCompatibility.Extensions.RemovedExtensions sniff contained a typo in the alternative recommended for the removed mcve extension. #806
• 🐛 The PHPCompatibility.Extensions.RemovedExtensions sniff listed the wrong removal version number for the Payflow Pro/pfpro extension (PHP 5.3 instead of the correct 5.1). #823

Changed

• 📌 RemovedPHP4StyleConstructors: will now also detect PHP4-style constructors when declared in interfaces. #751
• 📌 Sniff::validDirectScope(): the return value of this method has changed. Previously it would always be a boolean. It will stil return false when no valid direct scope has been found, but it will now return the stackPtr to the scope token if a valid direct scope was encountered. #758

• 💚 Travis: build tests are now being run against PHP 7.3 as well. #511
  Note: full PHP 7.3 support is only available in combination with PHP_CodeSniffer 2.9.2 or 3.3.1+ due to an incompatibility within PHP_CodeSniffer itself.

Fixed

PHPCompatibility 9.0.0

IMPORTANT: This release contains breaking changes. Please read the below information carefully before upgrading!

All sniffs have been placed in meaningful categories and a number of sniffs have been renamed to have more consistent, meaningful and future-proof names.

Both the PHPCompatibilityJoomla [GH | Packagist] as well as the PHPCompatibilityWP [GH | Packagist] rulesets have already been adjusted for this change and have released a new version which is compatible with this version of PHPCompatibility.

Aside from those CMS-based rulesets, this project now also offers a number of polyfill-library specific rulesets, such as PHPCompatibilityPasswordCompat [GH | Packagist] for @ircmaxell's password_compat libary, PHPCompatibilityParagonieRandomCompat and PHPCompatibilityParagonieSodiumCompat [GH | Packagist] for the Paragonie polyfills and a number of rulesets related to various polyfills offered by the Symfony project [GH | Packagist].

If your project uses one of these polyfills, please consider using these special polyfill rulesets to prevent false positives.

Also as of this version, Juliette Reinders Folmer is now officially a co-maintainer of this package.

Upgrade instructions

• If you have <exclude name="..."/> directives in your own project's custom ruleset which relate to sniffs from the PHPCompatibility library, you will need to update your ruleset to use the new sniff names.
• If you use the new PHPCS 3.2+ inline annotations, i.e. // phpcs:ignore Standard.Category.SniffName, in combination with PHPCompatibility sniff names, you will need to update these annotations.
• If you use neither of the above, you should be fine and upgrading should be painless.
