Hello!
MediaWiki-Codesniffer 0.6.0 has been released, here's what's changed: * Add Generic.Arrays.DisallowLongArraySyntax to ruleset, autofix this repo (Kunal Mehta) * Add sniff to detect consecutive empty lines in a file (Vivek Ghaisas) * Disable Generic.Functions.CallTimePassByReference.NotAllowed (Kunal Mehta) * Update squizlabs/php_codesniffer to 2.5.1 (Paladox)
Notably, this release now requires []-style arrays, as well as PHP 5.5.9 or higher to run.
To help automatically migrate, you can use the "phpcbf" tool. I recommend setting up a "composer fix" command (for example [1]). Running just "composer fix" will try to auto-fix every file in the repo, while "composer fix filename" will just check that filename.
