[ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_CodeSniffer-2.2.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package PHP_CodeSniffer-2.2.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
- Added (hopefully) tastefully used colors to report and progress output for the phpcs command
  -- Use the --colors command line argument to use colors in output
  -- Use the command "phpcs --config-set colors true" to turn colors on by default
  -- Use the --no-colors command line argument to turn colors off when the config value is set
- Added support for using the full terminal width for report output
  -- Use the --report-width=auto command line argument to auto-size the reports
  -- Use the command "phpcs --config-set report_width auto" to use auto-sizing by default
- Reports will now size to fit inside the report width setting instead of always using padding to fill the space
- If no files or standards are specified, PHPCS will now look for a phpcs.xml file in the current directory
  -- This file has the same format as a standard ruleset.xml file
  -- The phpcs.xml file should specify (at least) files to process and a standard/sniffs to use
  -- Useful for running the phpcs and phpcbf commands without any arguments at the top of a repository
- Default file paths can now be specified in a ruleset.xml file using the "file" tag
  -- File paths are only processed if no files were specified on the command line
- Extensions specified on the CLI are now merged with those set in ruleset.xml files
  -- Previously, the ruleset.xml file setting replaced the CLI setting completely
- Squiz coding standard now requires lowercase PHP constants (true, false and null)
  -- Removed Squiz.NamingConventions.ConstantCase sniff as the rule is now consistent across PHP and JS files
- Squiz FunctionOpeningBraceSpaceSniff no longer does additional checks for JS functions
  -- PHP and JS functions and closures are now treated the same way
- Squiz MultiLineFunctionDeclarationSniff now supports JS files
- Interactive mode no longer breaks if you also specify a report type on the command line
- PEAR InlineCommentSniff now fixes the Perl-style comments that it finds (request #375)
- PSR2 standard no longer fixes the placement of docblock open tags as comments are excluded from this standard
- PSR2 standard now sets a default tab width of 4 spaces
- Generic DocCommentSniff now only disallows lowercase letters at the start of a long/short comment (request #377)
  -- All non-letter characters are now allowed, including markdown special characters and numbers
- Generic DisallowMultipleStatementsSniff now allows multiple open/close tags on the same line (request #423)
- Generic CharacterBeforePHPOpeningTagSniff now only checks the first PHP tag it finds (request #423)
- Generic CharacterBeforePHPOpeningTagSniff now allows a shebang line at the start of the file (request #20481)
- Generic InlineHTMLUnitTest now allows a shebang line at the start of the file (request #20481)
- PEAR ObjectOperatorIndentSniff now only checks object operators at the start of a line
- PEAR FileComment and ClassComment sniffs no longer have @ in their error codes
  -- E.g., PEAR.Commenting.FileComment.Missing@categoryTag becomes PEAR.Commenting.FileComment.MissingCategoryTag
  -- Thanks to Grzegorz Rygielski for the patch
- Squiz ControlStructureSpacingSniff no longer enforces a blank line before CATCH statements
- Squiz FunctionCommentSniff now fixes the return type in the @return tag (request #392)
- Squiz BlockCommentSniff now only disallows lowercase letters at the start of the comment
- Squiz InlineCommentSniff now only disallows lowercase letters at the start of the comment
- Squiz OperatorSpacingSniff now has a setting to ignore newline characters around operators (request #348)
  -- Default remains FALSE, so newlines are not allowed
  -- Override the "ignoreNewlines" setting in a ruleset.xml file to change
- PSR2 ControlStructureSpacingSniff now checks for, and fixes, newlines after the opening parenthesis
- Added a markdown document generator (--generator=markdown to use)
  -- Thanks to Stefano Kowalke for the contribution
