New and noteworthy

#### Dart support

Thanks to the contribution from Maikel Steneker, and built on top of the ongoing efforts to fully support Antlr-based languages, PMD now has CPD support for Dart.

Being based on a proper Antlr grammar, CPD can:

• ignore comments
• ignore imports / libraries
• honor comment-based suppressions

Fixed Issues

• go
  • #1751: [go] Parsing errors encountered with escaped backslash
• java
  • #1532: [java] NPE with incomplete auxclasspath
  • #1729: [java] JavaRuleViolation loses information in className field when class has package-private access level
• java-bestpractices
  • #1720: [java] UnusedImports false positive for Javadoc link with array type
• java-design
  • #1760: [java] UseObjectForClearerAPI flags private methods
