I'm just coming from v1.5.5 (i know, I know...)

In 1.5.5 there was a sniff to enforce a space between descriptions and params/return/tags

Squiz.Commenting.FunctionComment.SpacingBeforeTags

Somewhere between 1.5.5 and 2.5.0 any such sniff has been removed and the following is allowed:

/** * I'm a function short-description * @return boolean */ 

(There's no longer a sniff to enforce a blank line before @return)

Did the Squiz standard intentionally change? (I don't see any mention in changelog)
