[ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_CodeSniffer-3.0.1 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package PHP_CodeSniffer-3.0.1 (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 a shell command -- A properly crafted filename would allow for arbitrary code execution when using the --filter=gitmodified command line option -- All version 3 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 Git modified filter -- This advisory does not affect PHP_CodeSniffer version 2. -- Thanks to Sergei Morozov for the report and patch - Arguments on the command line now override or merge with those specified in a ruleset.xml file in all cases - PHPCS now stops looking for a phpcs.xml file as soon as one is found, favoring the closest one to the current dir - Added missing help text for the --stdin-path CLI option to --help - Re-added missing help text for the --file-list and --bootstrap CLI options to --help - Runner::runPHPCS() and Runner::runPHPCBF() now return an exit code instead of exiting directly (request #1484) - The Squiz standard now enforces short array syntax by default - The autoloader is now working correctly with classes created with class_alias() - The autoloader will now search for files inside all directories in the installed_paths config var -- This allows autoloading of files inside included custom coding standards without manually requiring them - You can now specify a namespace for a custom coding standard, used by the autoloader to load non-sniff helper files -- Also used by the autoloader to help other standards directly include sniffs for your standard -- Set the value to the namespace prefix you are using for sniff files (everything up to \Sniffs\) -- e.g., if your namespace format is MyProject\CS\Standard\Sniffs\Category set the namespace to MyProject\CS\Standard -- If ommitted, the namespace is assumed to be the same as the directory name containing the ruleset.xml file -- The namespace is set in the ruleset tag of the ruleset.xml file -- e.g., ruleset name="My Coding Standard" namespace="MyProject\CS\Standard" - Rulesets can now specify custom autoloaders using the new autoload tag -- Autloaders are included while the ruleset is being processed and before any custom sniffs are included -- Allows for very custom autoloading of helper classes well before the boostrap files are included - The PEAR standard now includes Squiz.Commenting.DocCommentAlignment -- It previously broke comments onto multiple lines, but didn't align them - Fixed a problem where excluding a message from a custom standard's own sniff would exclude the whole sniff -- This caused some PSR2 errors to be under-reported - Fixed bug #1442 : T_NULLABLE detection not working for nullable parameters and return type hints in some cases - Fixed bug #1447 : Running the unit tests with a phpunit config file breaks the test suite -- Unknown arguments were not being handled correctly, but are now stored in $config->unknown - Fixed bug #1449 : Generic.Classes.OpeningBraceSameLine doesn't detect comment before opening brace -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch - Fixed bug #1450 : Coding standard located under an installed_path with the same directory name throws an error -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch - Fixed bug #1451 : Sniff exclusions/restrictions dont work with custom sniffs unless they use the PHP_CodeSniffer NS - Fixed bug #1454 : Squiz.WhiteSpace.OperatorSpacing is not checking spacing on either side of a short ternary operator -- Thanks to Mponos George for the patch - Fixed bug #1495 : Setting an invalid installed path breaks all commands - Fixed bug #1496 : Squiz.Strings.DoubleQuoteUsage not unescaping dollar sign when fixing -- Thanks to Michał Bundyra for the patch - Fixed bug #1501 : Interactive mode is broken - Fixed bug #1504 : PSR2.Namespaces.UseDeclaration hangs fixing use statement with no trailing code 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.
