PHP_CodeSniffer 1.3.0a1 released

15 Jul

PHP_CodeSniffer version 1.3.0 alpha 1 has just been uploaded to PEAR and is now available to install. There have been some major architectural changes in this version, including a complete rework of the way custom standards are written.  Some the highlights in this release are:

  • All CodingStandard.php files have been replaced by ruleset.xml files
  • A new Git Blame report contributed by Ben Selby
  • Support for PHP_Timer, if you have it installed
  • Improved support for namespaces
  • Improved JavaScript tokenizer support

New features have been (mostly) documented and will be  available on the PHP_CodeSniffer documentation page once the documentation regenerates over the weekend. Documentation for custom standards still needs to be re-written, but you can read more about how to write custom standards with 1.3.0a1 in a previous blog post.

You can view the full changelog on the PHP_CodeSniffer download page.
