+   <notes>
+    - Min PHP version increased from 5.1.2 to 5.4.0
+    - Added optional caching of results between runs (request #530)
+      -- Enable the cache by using the --cache command line argument
+      -- If you want the cache file written somewhere specific, use --cache=/path/to/cacheFile
+      -- Use the command "phpcs --config-set cache true" to turn caching on by default
+      -- Use the --no-cache command line argument to disable caching if it is being turned on automatically
+    - Add support for checking file in parallel (request #421)
+      -- Tell PHPCS how many files to check at once using the --parallel command line argument
+      -- To check 100 files at once, using --parallel=100
+      -- To disable parallel checking if it is being turned on automatically, use --parallel=1
+      -- Requires PHP to be compiled with the PCNTL package
+    - The default encoding has been changed from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 (request #760)
+      -- The --encoding command line argument still works, but you no longer have to set it to process files as utf-8
+      -- If encoding is being set to utf-8 in a ruleset or on the CLI, it can be safely removed
+      -- If the iconv PHP extension is not installed, standard non-multibyte aware functions will be used
+    - Added a new "code" report type to show a code snippet for each error (request #419)
+      -- The line containing the error is printed, along with 2 lines above and below it to show context
+      -- The location of the errors is underlined in the code snippet if you also use --colors
+      -- Use --report=code to generate this report
+    - Added support for custom filtering of the file list
+      -- Developers can write their own filter classes to perform custom filtering of the list before the run starts
+      -- Use the command line arg --filter=/path/to/filter.php to specify a filter to use
+      -- Extend \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\Filter to also support the core PHPCS extension and path filtering
+      -- Extend \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\ExactMatch to get the core filtering and the ability to use blacklists and whitelists
+      -- The included \PHP_CodeSniffer\Filters\GitModified filter is a good example of an ExactMatch filter
+    - Added support for only checking files that have been locally modified or added in a git repo
+      -- Use --filter=gitmodified to check these files
+      -- You still need to give PHPCS a list of files or directories in which to check
+    - Added automatic discovery of executable paths (request #571)
+      -- Thanks to Sergey Morozov for the patch
+    - You must now pass "-" on the command line to have PHPCS wait for STDIN
+      -- E.g., phpcs --standard=PSR2 -
+      -- You can still pipe content via STDIN as normal as PHPCS will see this and process it
+      -- But without the "-", PHPCS will throw an error if no content or files are passed to it
+    - All PHP errors generated by sniffs are caught, re-thrown as exceptions, and reported in the standard error reports
+      -- This should stop bugs inside sniffs causing infinite loops
+      -- Also stops invalid reports being produced as errors don't print to the screen directly
+    - Sniff codes are no longer optional
+      -- If a sniff throws and error or a warning, it must specify an internal code for that message
+    - The installed_paths config setting can now point directly to a standard
+      -- Previously, it had to always point to the directory in which the standard lives
+    - Multiple reports can now be specified using the --report command line argument
+      -- Report types are separated by commas
+      -- E.g., --report=full,summary,info
+      -- Previously, you had to use one argument for each report such as --report=full --report=summary --report=info
+    - You can now set the severity, message type, and exclude patterns for and entire sniff, category, or standard
+      -- Previously, this was only available for a single message
+    - You can now include a single sniff code in a ruleset instead of having to include an entire sniff
+      -- Including a sniff code will automatically exclude all other messages from that sniff
+      -- If the sniff is already included by an imported standard, set the sniff severity to 0 and include the specific message you want
+    - PHPCBF no longer uses patch
+      -- Files are now always overwritten
+      -- The --no-patch option has been removed
+    - Added a --basepath option to strip a directory from the front of file paths in output (request #470)
+      -- The basepath is absolute or relative to the current directory
+      -- E.g., to output paths relative to current dir in reports, use --basepath=.
+    - Ignore rules are now checked when using STDIN (request #733)
+    - Added an include-pattern tag to rulesets to include a sniff for specific files and folders only (request #656)
+      -- This is the exact opposite of the exclude-pattern tag
+      -- This option is only usable within sniffs, not globally like exclude-patterns are
+    - Added a new -m option to stop error messages from being recorded, which saves a lot of memory
+      -- PHPCBF always uses this setting to reduce memory as it never outputs error messages
+      -- Setting the $recordErrors member var inside custom report classes is no longer supported (use -m instead)
+    - Exit code 2 is now used to indicate fixable errors were found (request #930)
+      -- Exit code 3 is now used for general script execution errors
+      -- Exit code 1 is used to indicate that coding standard errors were found, but none are fixable
+      -- Exit code 0 is unchanged and continues to mean no coding standard errors found
+    - The included PHPCS standard has been removed
+      -- All rules are now found inside the phpcs.xml.dist file
+      -- Running "phpcs" without any arguments from a git clone will use this ruleset
+    - The included SVN pre-commit hook has been removed
+      -- Hooks for version control systems will no longer be maintained within the PHPCS project
