Added

• 🌟 New NewArrayStringDereferencing sniff to detect array and string literal dereferencing as introduced in PHP 5.5. #388
• 🌟 New NewHeredocInitialize sniff to detect initialization of static variables and class properties/constants using the heredoc syntax which is supported since PHP 5.3. #391. Fixes #51
• 🌟 New NewMagicClassConstant sniff to detect use of the magic ::class constant as introduced in PHP 5.5. #403. Fixes #364.

• 💚 The XML of the ruleset will now be validated and checked for consistent code style during the build testing by Travis. #433
• 📚 Readme: information about setting installed_paths via a custom ruleset. #407
• 📚 Changelog.md file containing a record of notable changes since the first tagged release. #421

Changed

• 📌 The ForbiddenNamesAsDeclared sniff will now emit warnings for soft reserved keywords. #406, #370.
• 📌 The ForbiddenNames sniff will now allow for the more liberal rules for usage of reserved keywords as of PHP 7.0. #417
• 📌 The InternalInterfaces, NewClasses, NewConstVisibility, NewInterfaces, NewMagicMethods, NonStaticMagicMethods and RemovedGlobalVariables sniffs will now also sniff for and correctly report violations in combination with anonymous classes. #378, #383, #393, #394, #395, #396. Fixes #351 and #333.
• 📌 The NewClasses and NewInterfaces sniffs will now also report on new classes/interfaces when used as type hints. #414, #416. Fixes #352
• 📌 The NewClasses sniff will now also report on Exception classes when used in (multi-)catch statements. #418. Fixes #373.
• 📌 The NewScalarTypeDeclarations sniff will now report on new type hints even when the type hint is nullable. #379
• 🔀 The NewNowdoc sniff has been renamed to NewNowdocQuotedHeredoc and will now also check for double quoted heredoc identifiers as introduced in PHP 5.3. #390
• ⏪ The NewClasses sniff will now also report anonymous classes which extend a new sniff when used in combination with PHPCS 2.4.0-2.8.0. #432. Fixes #334.
• ✏️ NewFunctionParameter sniff: version number precision for two parameters. #384, #428
• ☔ Skipping two unit tests for the ForbiddenClosureUseVariable sniff when run on PHPCS 2.5.1 as these cause an infinite loop due to an upstream bug. #408
• ☔ Skipping unit tests involving traits in combination with PHP < 5.4 and PHPCS < 2.4.0 as traits are not recognized in those circumstances. #431
• ♻️ Various (minor) refactoring for improved performance and sniff accuracy. #385, #387, #415, #423, #424
• ♻️ Minor simplification of the PHPUnit 6 compatibility layer and other test code. #426, #425
• General housekeeping. #398, #400
• 🔧 Minor tweaks to the Travis build script. #409
• 💚 The sniffs are now also tested against PHP nightly for consistent results. #380

Fixed

• 🔥 Using unbounded ranges in testVersion resulted in unreported errors when used with sniffs using the supportsBelow() method. This affected the results of approximately half the sniffs. #430
• 🐛 The ForbiddenNames sniff would throw false positives for use statements with the final modifier in traits. #402.
• 🐛 The ForbiddenNames sniff would fail to report on functions declared to return by reference using a reserved keyword as the function name. #413
• 🐛 The ForbiddenNames sniff would only examine the first part of a namespace and not report on reserved keywords used in subsequent parts of a nested namespace. #419
• 🐛 The ForbiddenNames sniff would not always correctly report on use statements importing constants or functions using reserved keywords. #420
• 🐛 The NewKeywords sniff would sometimes fail to report on the const keyword when used in a class, but not for a class constant. #424
• 💚 PHPCS has released version 3.0 and updated the master branch to reflect this. This was causing the builds to fail. #422
