+#### Fixed
+
+* Reverted deprecation of the `file` argument of the `NormalizeCommand` as it turns out that the same functionality can _not_ be achieved using the `--working-dir` option ([#166](https://github.com/localheinz/composer-normalize/pull/166)), by [@localheinz](https://github.com/localheinz)
