26-July-2024 - 7.4.0-SNAPSHOT

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 7.4.0-SNAPSHOT.

This is a minor release.

🚀 New and noteworthy

🌟 New and changed rules

New Rules

  • The new Apex rule AvoidNonRestrictiveQueries finds SOQL and SOSL queries without a where or limit statement. This can quickly cause governor limit exceptions.

Changed rules

  • ClassNamingConventions: Two new properties to configure different patterns for inner classes and interfaces: innerClassPattern and innerInterfacePattern.

Renamed rules

  • InaccurateNumericLiteral has been renamed from InnaccurateNumericLiteral. The old rule name still works but is deprecated.
