 ### 🚀 New and noteworthy
 
-#### CPD can now ignore literals and identifiers in C++ code
-
-When searching for duplicated code in C++ differences in literals or identifiers can be
-ignored now (like in Java). This can be enabled via the command line options `--ignore-literal`
-and `--ignore-identifiers`.  
-See [PR #5040](https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/5040) for details.
-
-### 🌟 Rule Changes
-
-#### Changed Rules
-* {% rule java/bestpractices/SwitchStmtsShouldHaveDefault %} (Java Best Practices) doesn't report empty switch statements anymore.
-  To detect these, use {% rule java/codestyle/EmptyControlStatement %}.
-* {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldUseAfterAnnotation %} (Java Best Practices) now also considers JUnit 5 and TestNG tests.
-* {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation %} (Java Best Practices) now also considers JUnit 5 and TestNG tests.
-* {% rule java/performance/TooFewBranchesForSwitch %} (Java Performance) doesn't report empty switches anymore.
-  To detect these, use {% rule java/codestyle/EmptyControlStatement %}.
-
-#### Renamed Rules
-* Several rules for unit testing have been renamed to better reflect their actual scope. Lots of them were called
-  after JUnit / JUnit 4, even when they applied to JUnit 5 and / or TestNG.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnitAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestContainsTooManyAsserts %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnitTestContainsTooManyAsserts`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldIncludeAssert %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnitTestsShouldIncludeAssert`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldUseAfterAnnotation %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnit4TestShouldUseAfterAnnotation`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnit4TestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/UnitTestShouldUseTestAnnotation %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `JUnit4TestShouldUseTestAnnotation`.
-* Several rules about switch statements and switch expression have been renamed, as they apply both to Switch Statements
-  and to Switch Expressions:
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/DefaultLabelNotLastInSwitch %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `DefaultLabelNotLastInSwitch`.
-  * {% rule java/errorprone/NonCaseLabelInSwitch %} (Java Error Prone) has been renamed from `NonCaseLabelInSwitchStatement`.
-  * {% rule java/performance/TooFewBranchesForSwitch %} (Java Performance) has been renamed from `TooFewBranchesForASwitchStatement`.
-  * {% rule java/bestpractices/NonExhaustiveSwitch %} (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from `SwitchStmtsShouldHaveDefault`.
-
-The old rule names still work but are deprecated.
