2.0.0-alpha1 - 2025-10-22

• Added new PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP81 ruleset.
• Added new PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP82 ruleset.
• Added new PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP83 ruleset.
• Added new PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP84 ruleset.
• Added new PHPCompatibilitySymfonyPolyfillPHP85 ruleset.
• Composer: All PHPCompatibility dependencies have been updated to the recently released PHPCompatibility 10.0.0-alpha1 based versions.
  Note: in select cases, this means that custom <exclude> rules in a project's [.]phpcs.xml[.dist] configuration file may needs to be updated.
  Along the same lines, selective // phpcs:ignore comments used inline may need to be updated with the new sniff code(s).
  For full information on these kind of changes, please refer to the Upgrade guide for PHPCompatibility 10.0.0.
• The Composer PHPCS plugin will now be installed automatically to register PHPCompatibility and other external standards with PHP_CodeSniffer.
  If you have a require-dev in place for this plugin in your own composer.json, it is strongly recommended to remove this to prevent conflicting version constraints.
  If you previously used another Composer plugin, manually set the installed_paths configuration, or set the installed_paths in your [.]phpcs.xml[.dist] configuration file, it is recommended you remove this in favour of letting the Composer PHPCS plugin handle this.
• Support for PHP 5.3 has been dropped. The new minimum supported PHP version is 5.4.
• Support for PHP_CodeSniffer 4.0 has been added.
• Support for PHP_CodeSniffer < 3.13.3 has been dropped.
