PHP_CodeSniffer 1.0.1 released

I've just uploaded PHP_CodeSniffer version 1.0.1, which contains 6 bug fixes and adds some new sniffs into the Squiz and MySource standards after some lobbying by the MySource4 team. The coding standard we use for MySource4 now has 94 different sniffs, each containing up to 5 different checks, so it is getting fairly strict. The code should be pretty enough to frame and stick on your wall!

One important change has been made to the PEAR standard in this release. A recent RFC that asked PEAR developers to vote on forcing protected member vars to be prefixed with an underscore got me looking for the relevant sniff in PHP_CodeSniffer. (I didn't see the call for votes, but I would have voted not to prefix protected vars with an underscore.) While PEAR decided against adding this new standard, I did realise that PHP_CodeSniffer was not currently enforcing the existing standard. The 1.0.1 release adds a new sniff to the PEAR standard to ensure only private members vars are prefixed with an underscore.
