    • ๐Ÿ— ๐Ÿ’š 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.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed

    • โœ… Compatibility with the upcoming release of PHPCS 3.4.0. Deal with changed behaviour of the PHPCS Tokenizer regarding binary type casts. #760

  • v9.0.0 Changes

    October 07, 2018

    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.

    ๐Ÿš€ 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.

    ๐Ÿ“ฆ Also as of this version, Juliette Reinders Folmer is now officially a co-maintainer of this package.

    โฌ†๏ธ Upgrade instructions

    • โšก๏ธ 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.
    • ๐Ÿš€ 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.
    • โฌ†๏ธ If you use neither of the above, you should be fine and upgrading should be painless.

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changed

    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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. #738. Fixes #601, #692
      ๐Ÿ‘€ See the table at the top of this changelog for details of all the file renames.
    • ๐Ÿฑ โ˜”๏ธ The unit test files have been moved about as well. #738
      • The directory structure for these now mirrors the default directory structure used by PHPCS itself.
      • The file names of the unit test files have been adjusted for the changes made in the sniffs.
      • The unit test case files have been renamed and moved to the same directory as the actual test file they apply to.
      • The BaseSniffTest::sniffFile() method has been adjusted to match. The signature of this method has changed. Where it previously expected a relative path to the unit test case file, it now expects an absolute path.
      • The unit tests for the utility methods in the PHPCompatibility\Sniff class have been moved to a new PHPCompatibility\Util\Tests\Core subdirectory.
      • The bootstrap file used for PHPUnit has been moved to the project root directory and renamed phpunit-bootstrap.php.
    • ๐Ÿ”€ The PHPCompatibility.LanguageConstructs.NewLanguageConstructs sniff has been split into two sniffs. #738
      The PHPCompatibility.LanguageConstructs.NewLanguageConstructs sniff now contains just the checks for the namespace separator and the ellipsis.
      The new PHPCompatibility.Operators.NewOperators sniff now contains the checks regarding the pow, pow equals, spaceship and coalesce (equals) operators.
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ“Œ The PHPCompatibility.ParameterValues.RemovedMbstringModifiers sniff will now also recognize removed regex modifiers when used within a function call to one of the undocumented Mbstring function aliases for the Mbstring regex functions. #715
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ“Œ The PHPCompatibility\Sniff::getFunctionCallParameter() utility method now allows for closures called via a variable. #723
    • โฌ†๏ธ โœ๏ธ PHPCompatibility.Upgrade.LowPHPCS: the minimum supported PHPCS version is now 2.3.0. #699
    • ๐Ÿ“š โœ๏ธ Minor inline documentation improvements. #738
    • ๐Ÿฑ โ˜”๏ธ Minor improvements to the unit tests for the PHPCompatibility.FunctionNameRestrctions.RemovedMagicAutoload sniff. #716
    • ๐Ÿฑ โ™ป๏ธ Minor other optimizations. #698, #697
    • ๐Ÿ— ๐Ÿ”ง Minor improvements to the build tools. #701
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ”ง Removed some unnecessary inline annotations. #700
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ“š Replaced some of the badges in the Readme file. #721, #722
    • โšก๏ธ ๐Ÿ“š Composer: updated the list of package authors. #739

    โœ‚ Removed

    • ๐Ÿšซ Support for PHP_CodeSniffer 1.x and low 2.x versions. The new minimum version of PHP_CodeSniffer to be able to use this library is 2.3.0. #699. Fixes #691.
      The minimum recommended version of PHP_CodeSniffer remains the same, i.e. 2.6.0.
    • ๐Ÿšซ The \PHPCompatibility\Sniff::inUseScope() method has been removed as it is no longer needed now support for PHPCS 1.x has been dropped. #699
    • ๐Ÿšซ Composer: The autoload section has been removed from the composer.json file. #738. Fixes #568.
      0๏ธโƒฃ Autoloading for this library is done via the PHP_CodeSniffer default mechanism, enhanced with our own autoloader, so the Composer autoloader shouldn't be needed and was causing issues in a particular use-case.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed

    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ› PHPCompatibility.FunctionUse.NewFunctionParameters sniff: The new $mode parameter of the php_uname() function was added in PHP 4.3, not in PHP 7.0 as was previously being reported.
      ๐Ÿ“š The previous implementation of this check was based on an error in the PHP documentation. The error in the PHP documentation has been rectified and the sniff has followed suit. #711
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ› PHPCompatibility.Generators.NewGeneratorReturn sniff: The sniff would throw false positives for return statements in nested constructs and did not correctly detect the scope which should be examined. #725. Fixes #724.
    • ๐Ÿ› PHPCompatibility.Keywords.NewKeywords sniff: PHP magic constants are case _in_sensitive. This sniff now accounts for this. #707
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ› Various bugs in the PHPCompatibility.Syntax.ForbiddenCallTimePassByReference sniff #723:
      • Closures called via a variable will now also be examined. (false negative)
      • References within arrays/closures passed as function call parameters would incorrectly trigger an error. (false positive)
    • ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ’š Compatibility with PHPUnit 7.2. #712
