2.9.2
Final 2.9 Release
Version 2.9.2 will be the final release of the PHP_CodeSniffer 2.9 branch, first released over 4 years ago. All developers still using version 2 are strongly encouraged to migrate to version 3.
Version 3 was first released as stable on the 4th of May 2017 and is a large refactoring of the code base that breaks backwards compatibility for all custom sniffs and custom reports. An upgrade guide for sniff and report developers is available here: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Version-3.0-Upgrade-Guide
Note: If you only use the built-in coding standards (such as PEAR or PSR2), or you have a custom ruleset.xml file that only makes use of the sniffs and reports distributed with PHP_CodeSniffer, you do not need to make any changes to begin using PHP_CodeSniffer version 3.
