      New and noteworthy

        Updated Apex Support

  * The Apex language support has been bumped to version 45 (Spring
    '19). All new language features are now properly
    parsed and processed.
  * Many nodes now expose more informations, such as the operator for
    BooleanExpressions. This makes these operators
    consumable by XPath rules, e.g. |//BooleanExpression[@Operator='&&']|.

        PL/SQL Grammar improvements

  * In this release, many parser bugs in our PL/SQL support have been
    fixed. This adds e.g. support for
    table collection expressions (|SELECT * FROM TABLE(expr)|).
  * Support for parsing insert statements has been added.
  * More improvements are planned for the next release of PMD.

        New Rules

  *

    The new Java rule |UnsynchronizedStaticFormatter|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_multithreading.html#unsynchronizedstaticformatter>
    (|java-multithreading|) detects
    unsynchronized usages of static |java.text.Format| instances. This
    rule is a more generic replacement of the
    rule |UnsynchronizedStaticDateFormatter|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_multithreading.html#unsynchronizedstaticdateformatter>
    which focused just on |DateFormat|.

  *

    The new Java rule |ForLoopVariableCount|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#forloopvariablecount>
    (|java-bestpractices|) checks for
    the number of control variables in a for-loop. Having a lot of
    control variables makes it harder to understand
    what the loop does. The maximum allowed number of variables is by
    default 1 and can be configured by a
    property.

  *

    The new Java rule |AvoidReassigningLoopVariables|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#avoidreassigningloopvariables>
    (|java-bestpractices|) searches
    for loop variables that are reassigned. Changing the loop variables
    additionally to the loop itself can lead to
    hard-to-find bugs.

  *

    The new Java rule |UseDiamondOperator|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#usediamondoperator>
    (|java-codestyle|) looks for constructor
    calls with explicit type parameters. Since Java 1.7, these type
    parameters are not necessary anymore, as they
    can be inferred now.

        Modified Rules

  * The Java rule |LocalVariableCouldBeFinal|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#localvariablecouldbefinal>
    (|java-codestyle|) has a new
    property |ignoreForEachDecl|, which is by default disabled. The new
    property allows for ignoring
    non-final loop variables in a for-each statement.

        Deprecated Rules

  * The Java rule |UnsynchronizedStaticDateFormatter|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_multithreading.html#unsynchronizedstaticdateformatter>
    has been deprecated and
    will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by the more general
    |UnsynchronizedStaticFormatter|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.11.0/pmd_rules_java_multithreading.html#unsynchronizedstaticformatter>.

      API Changes

  * |StatisticalRule|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-core/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/rule/stat/StatisticalRule.html#>
    and the related helper classes and base rule classes
    are deprecated for removal in 7.0.0. This includes all of
    |net.sourceforge.pmd.stat|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-core/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/stat/package-summary.html#>
    and |net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.stat|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-core/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/rule/stat/package-summary.html#>,
    and also |AbstractStatisticalJavaRule|

    |AbstractStatisticalApexRule|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-apex/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/apex/rule/AbstractStatisticalApexRule.html#>
    and the like.
    The methods |Report#addMetric|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-core/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/Report.html#addMetric(net.sourceforge.pmd.stat.Metric)>
    and |metricAdded|

    because |MultiValuePropertyDescriptor|
    <https://javadoc.io/page/net.sourceforge.pmd/pmd-core/6.11.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/properties/MultiValuePropertyDescriptor.html#>
