Hi,
As the subject line hints, we're doing something a little different with
this release. There was a lot of work done on MW-CS over the summer by
our GSoC student, Lethexie.
There are a significant number of changes, especially to do with
documentation comments. So we are releasing this as alpha quality to ask
for more feedback on the changes to the ruleset. You can upgrade in the
same manner as normal - by updating the version number in the
composer.json file.
Feel free to provide feedback by responding to this thread or by filing
a bug in the MediaWiki-Codesniffer Phabricator project. We would like to
release 0.8.0 by mid-October.
Thanks!
