Sorry it's taken so long, but I have taken a look at the function
comment sniff and I 
can see what you've changed.

The bad news is that the sniff is drastically different in 2.x, to the
point where most 
of the checks actually live in a different sniff now: 
https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/blob/phpcs-
fixer/CodeSniffer/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/Commenting/DocCommentSniff.php

Instead of overriding the process() method, it may actually be better to
just include 
the sniff as is, then mute the ShortNotCapital error in your custom
coding standard. 
Then you can include a custom sniff that only checks this one thing.

You've also modified the code that checks the return tag, so you could
mute a 
bunch of errors in there as well.

But the worse news is that doing this, while cleaner, means that you
would need a 
different ruleset.xml file for 1.x and 2.x.

Or, to make it slightly better, you could write a custom sniff that
includes and runs 
the new DoCommentSniff only if running on 2.x.

I'd need to have a bit of a play around to get something going. Before I
do, does 
this sound like something you would considered doing? Specifically:
- including all of the Squiz (or PEAR) FunctionCommentSniff but turning
off some of 
the errors
- including the DocCommentSniff in your standard, probably via a custom
sniff
- including a custom sniff (probably the same one as above) that checks
your event 
function short descriptions

BW, I haven't checked the inline comment sniff yet.

Link in above comment has been wrapped by pear bug tracker and became
broken as 
a result. Beware.

Actually if it's easier for you, then you can compare the Squiz/PEAR
version of 
FunctionComment sniff to mine, then you'll note some minor differences.
This way 
might be easier to determine what needs to be changed.

That would be wonderful. Thanks upfront.

Here they are: 
https://github.com/aik099/CodingStandard/tree/master/CodingStandard/Sniffs/Comm
enting

You can just send Pull Request with updated version there.

Sniffs have corresponding tests, so you will know if something was
broken by accident 
during transformation.

The 2 versions use different tokens, so you should be able to detect
which version of 
the sniff to use. If you want to send me the custom sniffs you have,
I'll convert them 
over for you and make sure I can detect both versions.

That's what I'm afraid of. Since I'm using modified versions of comment
sniffs in my 
ruleset I'm pretty sure that they'll end up in Fatal Error if I run them
via PHPCS 2.0 
version.

Since I can't control what version of PHPCS people have installed
locally (or on 
Scrutinizer CI), then I don't know what will happen with PHPCS 2.0
release.

Currently I have 2 comment related sniffs:

* CodingStandard_Sniffs_Commenting_FunctionCommentSniff extends 
Squiz_Sniffs_Commenting_FunctionCommentSniff
* CodingStandard_Sniffs_Commenting_InlineCommentSniff implements 
PHP_CodeSniffer_Sniff

Is there any way to make them work on both PHPCS 1.5.x and 2.0.x?
