Style/EmptyLinesAroundClassBody, Style/EmptyLinesAroundModuleBody, and Style/EmptyLinesAroundBlockBody accept an empty body with no blank line, even if configured to empty_lines style. This is because the empty lines only serve to provide a break between the header, body, and footer, and are redundant if there is no body. (@alexdowad)
#2554: Style/FirstMethodArgumentLineBreak handles implicit hash arguments without braces; Style/FirstHashElementLineBreak still handles those with braces. (@alexdowad)
Style/TrailingComma has been split into Style/TrailingCommaInArguments and Style/TrailingCommaInLiteral. (@alexdowad)
RuboCop returns process exit code 2 if it fails due to bad configuration, bad CLI options, or an internal error. If it runs successfully but finds one or more offenses, it still exits with code 1, as was previously the case. This is helpful when invoking RuboCop programmatically, perhaps from a script.
