+- End-user documentation to the following existing sniffs: `WordPress.Arrays.ArrayDeclarationSpacing` (props [@RafaelFunchal], [@mattgaldino] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2489], [#2593], [#2682]), `WordPress.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInTernaryCondition` (props [@Nic-Sevic] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2488], [#2678]), `WordPress.DB.RestrictedClasses` (props [@paulgibbs] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2455], [#2689]), `WordPress.DB.DirectDatabaseQuery` (props [@jaymcp] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2458], [#2697]), `WordPress.DB.RestrictedFunctions` (props [@paulgibbs] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2453], [#2676]), `WordPress.DB.SlowDBQuery` (props [@petitphp] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2464], [#2699]), `WordPress.PHP.DevelopmentFunctions` (props [@gogdzl] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2490], [#2690]), `WordPress.PHP.NoSilencedErrors` (props [@gogdzl] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2495], [#2694]), `WordPress.PHP.PregQuoteDelimiter` (props [@tikifez] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2487], [#2677]), `WordPress.PHP.RestrictedPHPFunctions` (props [@gogdzl] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2491], [#2693]), `WordPress.Security.PluginMenuSlug` (props [@jasonkenison], [#2592]), `WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions` (props [@pamprn09], [@bhubbard] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2496], [#2588], [#2687]), `WordPress.WP.DiscouragedConstants` (props [@RafaelFunchal], [@paulopmt1] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2493], [#2589], [#2680]), `WordPress.WP.GlobalVariablesOverride` (props [@paulopmt1] and [@rodrigoprimo], [#2586], [#2679]).
+    This documentation can be exposed via the [`PHP_CodeSniffer` `--generator=...` command-line argument](https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Usage).
+
+### Changed
+- The minimum required `PHP_CodeSniffer` version to 3.13.5 (was 3.13.4). [#2761]
+- The minimum required `PHPCSUtils` version to 1.2.2 (was 1.1.0). [#2761]
+- The default value for `minimum_wp_version`, as used by a [number of sniffs detecting usage of deprecated WP features](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/wiki/Customizable-sniff-properties#various-sniffs-set-the-minimum-supported-wp-version), has been updated to `6.7`. [#2757]
+- `WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals` has been updated to recognize pluggable functions introduced in WP up to WP 7.0.0. [#2747]
+- `WordPress.WP.ClassNameCase` has been updated to recognize classes introduced in WP up to WP 7.0.0. [#2747]
+- `WordPress.WP.DeprecatedFunctions` now detects functions deprecated in WordPress up to WP 7.0.0. [#2747]
+- The `ConstantsHelper::is_use_of_global_constant()` method will no longer flag a constant alias created via an import `use` statement as it were the use of a global constant. [#2579]
+- The `ConstantsHelper::is_in_function_call()` method will now act fully case-agnostic for the function names being checked. [#2706]
+    Previously, the `$valid_functions` parameter would need to be passed with the function names as keys in lowercase.
+- `WordPress.PHP.NoSilencedErrors`: error silencing is no longer accepted for the `parse_url()` function. [#2701]
+- Improved the wording of the error message for `WordPress.Arrays.ArrayDeclarationSpacing.AssociativeArrayFound`. [#2688]
+- Improved the wording of the error message for `WordPress.PHP.RestrictedPHPFunctions`. [#2702]
+- Various housekeeping, including documentation and test improvements. Includes a contribution by [@dd32].
+
+### Deprecated
+- `WordPress.Arrays.ArrayDeclarationSpacing`: the `allow_single_item_single_line_associative_arrays` property has been deprecated in favor of the new `allow_single_item_single_line_explicit_key_arrays` property. [#2696]
+    This is a name change only. The functionality of these properties is the same.
+
+### Fixed
+- `WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL` and `WordPress.DB.PreparedSQLPlaceholders`: false positive for static method calls to a non-global class named `wpdb`. [#2753]
+- `WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput`: false positive for `get_search_query()` when the `$escaped` parameter was passed as fully qualified or non-lowercase `true`. [#2618]
+- `WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput`: false negative for `_deprecated_file()` calls when the `basename( __FILE__ )` pattern used non-standard casing for either `basename()` and/or `__FILE__`. [#2729]
+- `WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions`: false negative when class functions/constants/properties use the same name as select global WP constants/functions. [#2617]
+- `WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions`: false positive for fully qualified references to the global PHP stream constants \STDIN, \STDOUT, and \STDERR. [#2617]
+- `WordPress.WP.CronInterval`: false positive when the callback function reference used a different case than the function declaration, even though they are in the same file. [#2730]

-# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
-
-## Our Pledge
-
-We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
-community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
-identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
-and orientation.
-
-We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
-diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
-
-## Our Standards
-
-Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
-community include:
-
-* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
-* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
-* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
-  and learning from the experience
-* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
-  overall community
-
-Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
-
-* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
-  advances of any kind
-* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-* Public or private harassment
-* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
-  address, without their explicit permission
-* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
-  professional setting
-
-## Enforcement Responsibilities
-
-Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
-acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
-or harmful.
-
-Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
-comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
-not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
-decisions when appropriate.
-
-## Scope
-
-This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
-an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
-Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
-posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event.
-
-## Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement in
-the [WordPress Slack](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) in the [#core-coding-standards channel](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C5VCTJGH3).
-All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
-
-All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
-reporter of any incident.
-
-## Enforcement Guidelines
-
-Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
-the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
-
-### 1. Correction
-
-**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
-unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
-
-**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
-clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
-behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
-
-### 2. Warning
-
-**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
-of actions.
-
-**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
-interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
-those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
-includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
-like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
-permanent ban.
-
-### 3. Temporary Ban
-
-**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
-sustained inappropriate behavior.
-
-**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
-communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
-private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
-with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
-Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
-
-### 4. Permanent Ban
-
-**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
-standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
-individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
-
-**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
-the community.
