??-May-2019 - 6.15.0

The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.15.0.

This is a minor release.

New and noteworthy

Enhanced Matlab support

Thanks to the contributions from Maikel Steneker CPD for Matlab can now parse Matlab programs which use the question mark operator to specify access to class members:

classdef Class1
properties (SetAccess = ?Class2)

CPD also understands now double quoted strings, which are supported since version R2017a of Matlab:

str = "This is a string"

Enhanced C++ support

CPD now supports digit separators in C++ (language module “cpp”). This is a C++14 feature.

Example: auto integer_literal = 1'000'000;

The single quotes can be used to add some structure to large numbers.

CPD also parses raw string literals now correctly (see #1784).
