2.5.0

• PHPCS will now look for a phpcs.xml file in parent directories as well as the current directory (request #626)
• PHPCS will now use a phpcs.xml file even if files are specified on the command line
  • This file is still only used if no standard is specified on the command line
• Added support for a phpcs.xml.dist file (request #583)
  • If both a phpcs.xml and phpcs.xml.dist file are present, the phpcs.xml file will be used
• Added support for setting PHP ini values in ruleset.xml files (request #560)
  • Setting the value of the new ini tags to name="memory_limit" value="32M" is the same as -d memory_limit=32M
• Added support for one or more bootstrap files to be run before processing begins
  • Use the --bootstrap=file,file,file command line argument to include bootstrap files
  • Useful if you want to override some of the high-level settings of PHPCS or PHPCBF
