 ## [3.0.0RC3] - 2017-02-02
 ### Changed
 - Added support for ES6 class declarations
     - Previously, these class were tokenized as JS objects but are now tokenized as normal T_CLASS structures

+    - Custom sniffs that support JS and listen for T_FUNCTION tokens can't assume the token represents the word "function"

 ## [3.0.0a1] - 2016-07-20
 ### Changed
 - Min PHP version increased from 5.1.2 to 5.4.0
-- Added optional caching of results between runs (request #530)
+- 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)
+- 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 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)
+- Added a new "code" report type to show a code snippet for each error (request [#419])

 - The installed_paths config setting can now point directly to a standard

 - 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
+- You can now set the severity, message type, and exclude patterns for an 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

+- 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)
