[ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_CodeSniffer-2.8.1 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package PHP_CodeSniffer-2.8.1 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - 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 - The PHP-supplied T_COALESCE_EQUAL token has been replicated for PHP versions before 7.2 - PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration now reports an error for blank lines found inside a function declaration - PEAR.Functions.FunctionDeclaration no longer reports indent errors for blank lines in a function declaration - Squiz.Functions.MultiLineFunctionDeclaration no longer reports errors for blank lines in a function declaration -- It would previously report that only one argument is allowed per line - Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment now corrects multi-line param comment padding more accurately - Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment now properly fixes pipe-separated param types - Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment now works correctly when function return types also contain a comment -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch - Squiz.ControlStructures.InlineIfDeclaration now supports the elvis operator -- As this is not a real PHP operator, it enforces no spaces between ? and : when the THEN statement is empty - Squiz.ControlStructures.InlineIfDeclaration is now able to fix the spacing errors it reports - Fixed bug #1340 : STDIN file contents not being populated in some cases -- Thanks to David Biňovec for the patch - Fixed bug #1344 : PEAR.Functions.FunctionCallSignatureSniff throws error for blank comment lines - Fixed bug #1347 : PSR2.Methods.FunctionCallSignature strips some comments during fixing -- Thanks to Algirdas Gurevicius for the patch - Fixed bug #1349 : Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage.NotRequired message is badly formatted when string contains a CR newline char -- Thanks to Algirdas Gurevicius for the patch - Fixed bug #1350 : Invalid Squiz.Formatting.OperatorBracket error when using namespaces - Fixed bug #1369 : Empty line in multi-line function declaration cause infinite loop Package Info ------------ PHP_CodeSniffer is a set of two PHP scripts; the main phpcs script that tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files to detect violations of a defined coding standard, and a second phpcbf script to automatically correct coding standard violations. PHP_CodeSniffer is an essential development tool that ensures your code remains clean and consistent.
