Previous changes from v4.3.0

  • πŸ”‹ Features

    • UnusedConstructor is now a separate issue from UnusedMethod. This allows people to use the private constructor pattern to prevent instantiation of classes that just have static methods (#4656)
    • πŸ‘ RedundantCast is now a separate issue from RedundantCondition. It is now emitted for more redundant casts thanks to @orklah adding better detection (#4695)
    • πŸ‘ @odoucet added support for the CodeClimate output format (#4387)
    • βœ… @weirdan added a test to ensure all new Psalm annotations are documented (#4723)
    • RedundantPropertyInitializationCheck is now emitted for isset checks on class properties that Psalm thinks should be defined. This allows users who prefer to initialize properties outside constructors to silence just that issue (#4732)
