[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.
