2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 incorporates many new sniffs for code safety, predictable behavior and consistent code look, Most notably:

• no more useless annotations that i.e. duplicate Git information,
• space after not operator (!),
• short arrays only,
• no assignments in conditions,
• alphabetically sorted uses,
• no long type names (int vs. integer),
• and more.

We're also moving towards PHP 7.1/7.2 standards and strict code. As part of this, we're now including checks for:

• declare(strict_types=1) in every file,
• native scalar types where possible,
• scalar hints in parameter and return types,
• defining the contents of iterable types in phpDoc,
• no redundant phpDoc annotations when types are expressed natively,
