Release notes

Sourced from wp-coding-standards/wpcs's releases.

3.1.0

Added

• WordPress-Core ruleset: now includes the Universal.PHP.LowercasePHPTag sniff.
• WordPress-Extra ruleset: now includes the Generic.CodeAnalysis.RequireExplicitBooleanOperatorPrecedence and the Universal.CodeAnalysis.NoDoubleNegative sniffs.
• The sanitize_locale_name() function to the list of known "escaping" functions. Props @​Chouby
• The sanitize_locale_name() function to the list of known "sanitize & unslash" functions. Props @​Chouby

Changed

• The minimum required PHP_CodeSniffer version to 3.9.0 (was 3.7.2).
• The minimum required PHPCSUtils version to 1.0.10 (was 1.0.8).
• The minimum required PHPCSExtra version to 1.2.1 (was 1.1.0). Please ensure you run composer update wp-coding-standards/wpcs --with-dependencies to benefit from these updates.
• Core ruleset: the spacing after the use keyword for closure use statements will now consistently be checked. Props @​westonruter for reporting.
• The default value for minimum_wp_version, as used by a number of sniffs detecting usage of deprecated WP features, has been updated to 6.2.
• WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals has been updated to recognize pluggable functions introduced in WP 6.4 and 6.5.
• WordPress.NamingConventions.ValidPostTypeSlug has been updated to recognize reserved post types introduced in WP 6.4 and 6.5.
• WordPress.WP.ClassNameCase has been updated to recognize classes introduced in WP 6.4 and 6.5.

• WordPress.WP.DeprecatedFunctions now detects functions deprecated in WordPress up to WP 6.5.
• The IsUnitTestTrait will now recognize classes which extend the new WP Core WP_Font_Face_UnitTestCase class as test classes.
• The test suite can now run on PHPUnit 4.x - 9.x (was 4.x - 7.x), which should make contributing more straight forward.
• Various housekeeping, includes a contribution from @​rodrigoprimo.

Fixed

• WordPress.WP.PostsPerPage could potentially result in an Internal.Exception when encountering a query string which doesn't include the value for posts_per_page in the query string. Props @​anomiex for reporting.
