Changed

• The WordPress.WP.CapitalPDangit will now ignore misspelled instances of WordPress within constant declarations. This covers both constants declared using defined() as well as constants declared using the const keyword.
• The default value for minimum_supported_wp_version, as used by a number of sniffs detecting usage of deprecated WP features, has been updated to 4.9.

Removed

• paginate_comments_links() from the list of auto-escaped functions Sniff::$autoEscapedFunctions. This affects the WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput sniff.

Fixed

• The $current_blog and $tag_ID variables have been added to the list of WordPress global variables. This fixes some false positives from the WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals and the WordPress.WP.GlobalVariablesOverride sniffs.
• The generic TestCase class name has been added to the $test_class_whitelist. This fixes some false positives from the WordPress.NamingConventions.FileName, WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals and the WordPress.WP.GlobalVariablesOverride sniffs.
• The WordPress.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName sniff will now correctly recognize $tag_ID as a WordPress native, mixed-case variable.
• The WordPress.Security.NonceVerification sniff will now correctly recognize nonce verification within a nested closure or anonymous class.
