New and noteworthy

Kotlin support for CPD

Thanks to Maikel Steneker, CPD now supports Kotlin. This means, you can use CPD to find duplicated code in your Kotlin projects.

New Rules

• The new Java rule {% rule "java/codestyle/UseUnderscoresInNumericLiterals" %} (java-codestyle) verifies that numeric literals over a given length (4 chars by default, but configurable) are using underscores every 3 digits for readability. The rule only applies to Java 7+ codebases.

Fixed Issues

• all
  • #1318: [test] Kotlin DSL to ease test writing
  • #1341: [doc] Documentation Error with Regex Properties
• java-codestyle
  • #1232: [java] Detector for large numbers not separated by _
  • #1372: [java] false positive for UselessQualifiedThis
