UPGRADE-24.0.md

UPGRADE FROM 23.0 to 24.0

Version 24 adds a new sniff that requires a nullable type declaration (added in PHP 7.1) for parameters with a default value of null.

To upgrade isaac/php-code-sniffer-standard in your project, the following steps are required.

Install version 24.0

composer require --dev --update-with-dependencies isaac/php-code-sniffer-standard ^24.0
