 ### API Changes
 
+* A new CLI switch, `-no-cache`, disables incremental analysis and the related suggestion. This overrides the
+`-cache` option. The corresponding Ant task parameter is `noCache`.
+
 * The static method `PMDParameters.transformParametersIntoConfiguration(PMDParameters)` is now deprecated,
   for removal in 7.0.0. The new instance method `PMDParameters.toConfiguration()` replaces it.
