### New and noteworthy

#### New Rules

*   The new PL/SQL rule [`ForLoopNaming`](pmd_rules_plsql_codestyle.html#forloopnaming) (`plsql-codestyle`)
    enforces a naming convention for "for loops". Both "cursor for loops" and "index for loops" are covered.
    The rule can be customized via patterns. By default, short variable names are reported.
