PHP Code Sniffer v3.4.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-19 // about 5 years ago

  • Note for PEAR Users

    πŸš€ The PEAR installable version of PHPCS was missing some files, which have been re-included in this release. The result of these omissions were:

    • The code report was not previously available for PEAR installs
    • The Generic.Formatting.SpaceBeforeCast sniff was not previously available for PEAR installs
    • The Generic.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing sniff was not previously available for PEAR installs

    Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
