PHP_CodeSniffer 1.5.0RC2

-- Works with built-in or custom standards and rulesets, or a mix of both 
- You can now exclude directories or whole standards in a ruleset XML file (request #19731)

PHP_CodeSniffer 1.5.0RC1

- Reports have been completely rewritten to consume far less memory 
-- Each report is incrementally written to the file system during a run and then printed out when the run ends 
-- There is no longer a need to keep the list of errors and warnings in memory during a run

-- If you have a custom multi-file sniff, you can convert it into a standard sniff quite easily 
-- See CodeSniffer/Standards/Generic/Sniffs/Classes/DuplicateClassNameSniff.php for an example
