New and noteworthy

Lua now supports additionally Luau

This release of PMD adds support for Luau, a gradually typed language derived from Lua. This means, that the Lua language in PMD can now parse both Lua and Luau.

Modified rules

• The Java rule {% rule java/codestyle/CommentDefaultAccessModifier %} now by default ignores JUnit5 annotated methods. This behavior can be customized using the property ignoredAnnotations.
