The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 7.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

This is a bugfix release.

JUnitTestsShouldIncludeAssert and JUnitTestContainsTooManyAsserts have a new property named extraAssertMethodNames. With this property, you can configure which additional static methods should be considered as valid verification methods. This allows to use custom mocking or assertion libraries.
