      New and noteworthy


        Call For Logo

PMD’s logo was great for a long time. But now we want to take the
opportunity with the next major release to change
our logo in order to use a more "politically correct" one.

Learn more about how to participate on github issue 1663
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/1663>.


        CPD Suppression for Antlr-based languages

ITBA <https://www.itba.edu.ar/> students Matías Fraga
<https://github.com/matifraga>,
Tomi De Lucca <https://github.com/tomidelucca> and Lucas Soncini
<https://github.com/lsoncini>
keep working on bringing full Antlr support to PMD. For this release,
they have implemented
token filtering in an equivalent way as we did for JavaCC languages,
adding support for CPD
suppressions through |CPD-OFF| and |CPD-ON| comments for all Antlr-based
languages.

This means, you can now ignore arbitrary blocks of code on:
/Go
/ Kotlin
* Swift

Simply start the suppression with any comment (single or multiline)
containing |CPD-OFF|,
and resume again with a comment containing |CPD-ON|.

More information is available in the user documentation
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/news/2019/02/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#suppression>.


        PL/SQL Grammar improvements

  * In this release, many more parser bugs in our PL/SQL support have
    been fixed. This adds more complete
    support for UPDATE statements and subqueries and hierarchical
    queries in SELECT statements.
  * Support for analytic functions such as LISTAGG has been added.
  * Conditions in WHERE clauses support now REGEX_LIKE and multiset
    conditions.


        New Rules

  * The new Java rule |UseTryWithResources|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.12.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#usetrywithresources>
    (apex-codestyle) has a new
    property |skipTestMethodUnderscores|, which is by default disabled.
    The new property allows for ignoring
    all test methods, either using the |testMethod| modifier or simply
    annotating them |@isTest|.
