 #### Improved Incremental Analysis
 
 [Incremental Analysis](https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.36.0/pmd_userdocs_incremental_analysis.html) has long helped
-our users obtain faster analysis results, however, it's implementation tended to be too cautious in detecting
-changes to the runtime and type resolution classpaths, producing more cache invalidations than were necessary.
+our users obtain faster analysis results, however, its implementation tended to be too cautious in detecting

 We have now improved the heuristics to remove several bogus invalidations, and slightly sped up the cache
 usage along the way.
