Added

• Support for PHP CodeSniffer 3.0.2+. The minimum required PHPCS version (2.9.0) stays the same.
• Support for the PHPCS 3 --ignore-annotations command line option. If you pass this option, both PHPCS native @ignore ... annotations as well as the WPCS specific whitelist flags will be ignored.

Changed

• The minimum required PHP version is now 5.3 when used in combination with PHPCS 2.x and PHP 5.4 when used in combination with PHPCS 3.x.
• The way the unit tests can be run is now slightly different for PHPCS 2.x versus 3.x. For more details, please refer to the updated information in the Contributing Guidelines.
• Release archives will no longer contain the unit tests and other typical development files. You can still get these by using Composer with --prefer-source or by checking out a git clone of the repository.
• Various textual improvements to the Readme.
• Various textual improvements to the Contributing Guidelines.
