<p>We’re excited to bring you the next major version of PMD!</p>
<p>Since this is a big release, we provide here only a concise version of the release notes. We prepared a separate
page with the full <a href="pmd_release_notes_pmd7.html">Detailed Release Notes for PMD 7.0.0</a>.</p>
<div style="border: 1px solid; border-radius: .25rem; padding: .75rem 1.25rem;" role="alert">
<strong>ℹ️ Release Candidates</strong>
<p>PMD 7.0.0 is finally almost ready. In order to gather feedback, we are going to ship a couple of release candidates.
These are officially available on GitHub and Maven Central and can be used as usual (e.g. as a dependency).
We encourage you to try out the new features, but keep in mind that we may introduce API breaking changes between
the release candidates. It should be stable enough if you don't use custom rules.</p>
<p>We have still some tasks planned for the next release candidates.
You can see the progress in <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3898">PMD 7 Tracking Issue #3898</a>.</p>
<p>If you find any problem or difficulty while updating from PMD 6, please provide feedback via our
<a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/new/choose">issue tracker</a>. That way we can improve the experience
for all.</p>

<h3 id="changes-since-700-rc1">Changes since 7.0.0-rc1</h3>
<p>This section lists the most important changes from the last release candidate.
The remaining section describe the complete release notes for 7.0.0.</p>
<h4 id="api-changes">API Changes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Moved the two classes <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/impl/AntlrTokenizer.html#"><code>AntlrTokenizer</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/impl/JavaCCTokenizer.html#"><code>JavaCCTokenizer</code></a> from
<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">internal</code> package into package <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/cpd/impl/package-summary.html#"><code>net.sourceforge.pmd.cpd.impl</code></a>. These two classes are part of the API and
are base classes for CPD language implementations.</li>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">AntlrBaseRule</code> is gone in favor of <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/rule/AbstractVisitorRule.html#"><code>AbstractVisitorRule</code></a>.</li>
<li>The classes <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KotlinInnerNode.html#"><code>KotlinInnerNode</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-swift/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/swift/ast/SwiftInnerNode.html#"><code>SwiftInnerNode</code></a>
are package-private now.</li>
<li>The parameter order of <a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/7.0.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/document/FileCollector.html#addSourceFile(String,String)"><code>addSourceFile</code></a> has been swapped
in order to have the same meaning as in 6.55.0. That will make it easier if you upgrade from 6.55.0 to 7.0.0.
However, that means, that you need to change these method calls if you have migrated to 7.0.0-rc1 already.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="rule-changes">Rule Changes</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_design.html#immutablefield"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ImmutableField</code></a>: the property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoredAnnotations</code> has been removed. The property was

<h4 id="new-rules">New Rules</h4>
<p><strong>Apex</strong></p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Java</strong></p>
<ul>

<p><strong>Java</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryfullyqualifiedname"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UnnecessaryFullyQualifiedName</code></a>: the rule has two new properties,
to selectively disable reporting on static field and method qualifiers. The rule also has been improved
to be more precise.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#uselessparentheses"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UselessParentheses</code></a>: the rule has two new properties which control how strict
the rule should be applied. With <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoreClarifying</code> (default: true) parentheses that are strictly speaking
not necessary are allowed, if they separate expressions of different precedence.
The other property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoreBalancing</code> (default: true) is similar, in that it allows parentheses that help
reading and understanding the expressions.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#loosecoupling"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LooseCoupling</code></a>: the rule has a new property to allow some types to be coupled
to (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">allowedTypes</code>).</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#emptycatchblock"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">EmptyCatchBlock</code></a>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">CloneNotSupportedException</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">InterruptedException</code> are not

<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#usediamondoperator"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UseDiamondOperator</code></a>: the property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">java7Compatibility</code> is removed. The rule now
handles Java 7 properly without a property.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_design.html#singularfield"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">SingularField</code></a>: Properties <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">checkInnerClasses</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">disallowNotAssignment</code> are removed.
The rule is now more precise and will check these cases properly.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_design.html#useutilityclass"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UseUtilityClass</code></a>: The property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoredAnnotations</code> has been removed.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_design.html#lawofdemeter"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">LawOfDemeter</code></a>: the rule has a new property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">trustRadius</code>. This defines the maximum degree
of trusted data. The default of 1 is the most restrictive.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_documentation.html#commentcontent"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">CommentContent</code></a>: The properties <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">caseSensitive</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">disallowedTerms</code> are removed. The
new property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">fobiddenRegex</code> can be used now to define the disallowed terms with a single regular
expression.</li>
<li><a href="pmd_rules_java_design.html#immutablefield"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ImmutableField</code></a>: the property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoredAnnotations</code> has been removed. The property was
deprecated since PMD 6.52.0.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="removed-rules">Removed Rules</h4>
<p>Many rules, that were previously deprecated have been finally removed.
See <a href="pmd_release_notes_pmd7.html">Detailed Release Notes for PMD 7</a> for the complete list.</p>
<h3 id="-api">🚨 API</h3>
<p>The API of PMD has been growing over the years and needed some cleanup. The goal is, to
have a clear separation between a well-defined API and the implementation, which is internal.
This should help us in future development.</p>
<p>Also, there are some improvement and changes in different areas. For the detailed description
of the changes listed here, see <a href="pmd_release_notes_pmd7.html">Detailed Release Notes for PMD 7</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Miscellaneous smaller changes and cleanups</li>
<li>XPath 3.1 support for XPath-based rules</li>
<li>Node stream API for AST traversal</li>
<li>Metrics framework</li>
