     -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
   - Added support for PHP 8.0 dereferencing of text strings with interpolated variables
     -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
+  - Added support for PHP 8.0 match expressions
+    -- Match expressions are now tokenised with parenthesis and scope openers and closers
+      --- Sniffs can listen for the T_MATCH token to process match expressions
+      --- Note that the case and default statements inside match expressions do not have scopes set
+    -- A new T_MATCH_ARROW token is available to represent the arrows in match expressions
+    -- A new T_MATCH_DEFAULT token is available to represent the default keyword in match expressions
+    -- All tokenizing of match expressions has been backfilled for older PHP versions
+    -- Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
   - The value of the T_FN_ARROW token has changed from "T_FN_ARROW" to "PHPCS_T_FN_ARROW" to avoid package conflicts
     -- This will have no impact on custom sniffs unless they are specifically looking at the value of the T_FN_ARROW constant
     -- If sniffs are just using constant to find arrow functions, they will continue to work without modification
