Important information about this release:

WordPressCS 2.0.0 contains breaking changes, both for people using custom rulesets as well as for sniff developers who maintain a custom PHPCS standard based on WordPressCS.

Support for PHP_CodeSniffer 2.x has been dropped, the new minimum PHP_CodeSniffer version is 3.3.1. Also, all previously deprecated sniffs, properties and methods have been removed.

Please read the complete changelog carefully before you upgrade.

If you are a maintainer of an external standard based on WordPressCS and any of your custom sniffs are based on or extend WPCS sniffs, please read the Developers Upgrade Guide to WordPressCS 2.0.0.

Changes since 2.0.0-RC1

Fixed

• WordPress-Extra: Reverted back to including the Squiz.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing sniff instead of the new Generic.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing sniff as the new sniff is not (yet) available when the PEAR install of PHPCS is used.
