<h2 id="30-april-2022---6450-snapshot">30-April-2022 - 6.45.0-SNAPSHOT</h2>
<p>The PMD team is pleased to announce PMD 6.45.0-SNAPSHOT.</p>
<p>This is a minor release.</p>
<h3 id="new-and-noteworthy">New and noteworthy</h3>
<h4 id="support-for-html">Support for HTML</h4>
<p>This version of PMD ships a new language module to support analyzing of HTML.
Support for HTML is experimental and might change without notice.
The language implementation is not complete yet and the AST doesnt look
well for text nodes and comment nodes and might be changed in the future.
You can write your own rules, but we dont guarantee that the rules work with
the next (minor) version of PMD without adjustments.</p>
<p>Please give us feedback about how practical this new language is in
<a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/discussions">discussions</a>. Please report
missing features or bugs as new <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues">issues</a>.</p>
<h4 id="new-rules">New rules</h4>
<ul>
<li>The HTML rule <a href="pmd_rules_html_bestpractices.html#avoidinlinestyles"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">AvoidInlineStyles</code></a> finds elements which use a style attribute.
In order to help maintaining a webpage it is considered good practice to separate content and styles. Instead
of inline styles one should use CSS files and classes.</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-xml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code> <span class="nt">&lt;rule</span> <span class="na">ref=</span><span class="s">"category/html/bestpractices.xml/AvoidInlineStyles"</span> <span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<ul>
<li>The HTML rule <a href="pmd_rules_html_bestpractices.html#unnecessarytypeattribute"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UnnecessaryTypeAttribute</code></a> finds “link” and “script” elements which
still have a “type” attribute. This is not necessary anymore since modern browsers automatically use CSS and
JavaScript.</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-xml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code> <span class="nt">&lt;rule</span> <span class="na">ref=</span><span class="s">"category/html/bestpractices.xml/UnnecessaryTypeAttribute"</span> <span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<ul>
<li>The HTML rule <a href="pmd_rules_html_bestpractices.html#usealtattributeforimages"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UseAltAttributeForImages</code></a> finds “img” elements without an “alt”
attribute. An alternate text should always be provided in order to help screen readers.</li>
</ul>
<div class="language-xml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code> <span class="nt">&lt;rule</span> <span class="na">ref=</span><span class="s">"category/html/bestpractices.xml/UseAltAttributeForImages"</span> <span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h4 id="modified-rules">Modified rules</h4>
<ul>
<li>The Java rule <a href="pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedprivatefield"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">UnusedPrivateField</code></a> has a new property <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ignoredFieldNames</code>.
The default ignores serialization-specific fields (eg <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">serialVersionUID</code>).
The property can be used to ignore more fields based on their name.
Note that the rule used to ignore fields named <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">IDENT</code>, but doesnt anymore (add this value to the property to restore the old behaviour).</li>

<ul>
<li>Report has two new methods which allow limited mutations of a given report:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.45.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/Report.html#filterViolations(net.sourceforge.pmd.util.Predicate)"><code>Report#filterViolations</code></a> creates a new report with
some violations removed with a given predicate based filter.</li>
<li><a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.45.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/Report.html#union(net.sourceforge.pmd.Report)"><code>Report#union</code></a> can combine two reports into a single new Report.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-core/6.45.0-SNAPSHOT/net/sourceforge/pmd/util/Predicate.html#"><code>net.sourceforge.pmd.util.Predicate</code></a> will be replaced in PMD7 with the standard Predicate interface from java8.</li>
<li>The module <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pmd-html</code> is entirely experimental right now. Anything in the package
<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.html</code> should be used cautiously.</li>
