3.0.0

This is the first stable release of the 3.0 branch, and is a large refactoring of the code base. It breaks backwards compatibility for all custom sniffs and custom reports. An upgrade guide for sniff and report developers is available here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Version-3.0-Upgrade-Guide

Note: If you only use the built-in coding standards (such as PEAR or PSR2), or you have a custom ruleset.xml file that only makes use of the sniffs and reports distributed with PHP_CodeSniffer, you do not need to make any changes to begin using the 3.0.0 version.

There are no future planned releases for the 2.x branch, but there may still be additional 2.9.x versions released for a time due to the number of changes required to upgrade custom sniffs for 3.0. The intention is to limit 2.9.x releases to serious bug and security fixes only.

Changes since 3.0.0RC4

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

3.0.0RC4 Pre-release
Pre-release

Security Advisory

  • 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

Other Changes

  • 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 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 Pre-release
Pre-release
  • Added support for ES6 class declarations
    • Previously, these class were tokenized as JS objects but are now tokenzied 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 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
