      New and noteworthy

        Enhanced Matlab support

Thanks to the contributions from Maikel Steneker
<https://github.com/maikelsteneker> CPD for Matlab can
now parse Matlab programs which use the question mark operator to
specify access to
class members:

classdef Class1
properties (SetAccess = ?Class2)

CPD also understands now double quoted strings, which are supported
since version R2017a of Matlab:

str = "This is a string"

        Enhanced C++ support

CPD now supports digit separators in C++ (language module "cpp"). This
is a C++14 feature.

Example: |auto integer_literal = 1'000'000;|

The single quotes can be used to add some structure to large numbers.

CPD also parses raw string literals now correctly (see #1784
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/1784>).

        New Rules

  *

    The new Apex rule |FieldNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#fieldnamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) checks the naming
    conventions for field declarations. By default this rule uses the
    standard Apex naming convention (Camel case),
    but it can be configured through properties.

  *

    The new Apex rule |FormalParameterNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#formalparameternamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) checks the
    naming conventions for formal parameters of methods. By default this
    rule uses the standard Apex naming
    convention (Camel case), but it can be configured through properties.

  *

    The new Apex rule |LocalVariableNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#localvariablenamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) checks the
    naming conventions for local variable declarations. By default this
    rule uses the standard Apex naming
    convention (Camel case), but it can be configured through properties.

  *

    The new Apex rule |PropertyNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#propertynamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) checks the naming
    conventions for property declarations. By default this rule uses the
    standard Apex naming convention (Camel case),
    but it can be configured through properties.

  *

    The new Java rule |UseShortArrayInitializer|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#useshortarrayinitializer>
    (|java-codestyle|) searches for
    array initialization expressions, which can be written shorter.

        Modified Rules

  *

    The Apex rule |ClassNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#classnamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) can now be configured
    using various properties for the specific kind of type declarations
    (e.g. class, interface, enum).
    As before, this rule uses by default the standard Apex naming
    convention (Pascal case).

  *

    The Apex rule |MethodNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#methodnamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) can now be configured
    using various properties to differenciate e.g. static methods and
    test methods.
    As before, this rule uses by default the standard Apex naming
    convention (Camel case).

  *

    The Java rule |FieldNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#fieldnamingconventions>
    (|java-codestyle|) now by default ignores
    the field |serialPersistentFields|. Since this is a field which
    needs to have this special name, no
    field naming conventions can be applied here. It is excluded the
    same way like |serialVersionUID| via the
    property |exclusions|.

  *

    The Java rule |CommentRequired|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_documentation.html#commentrequired>
    (|java-documentation|) has a new property
    |serialPersistentFieldsCommentRequired| with the default value
    "Ignored". This means that from now
    on comments for the field |serialPersistentFields| are not required
    anymore. You can change the property
    to restore the old behavior.

  *

    The Java rule |ProperLogger|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#properlogger>
    (|java-errorprone|) has two new properties
    to configure the logger class (e.g. "org.slf4j.Logger") and the
    logger name of the special case,
    when the logger is not static. The name of the static logger
    variable was already configurable.
    The new property "loggerClass" allows to use this rule for different
    logging frameworks.
    This rule covers all the cases of the now deprecated rule
    |LoggerIsNotStaticFinal|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#loggerisnotstaticfinal>.

  *

    The Java rule |CommentDefaultAccessModifier|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#commentdefaultaccessmodifier>
    (|java-codestyle|) now reports also
    missing comments for top-level classes and annotations, that are
    package-private.

        Deprecated Rules

  *

    The Apex rule |VariableNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#variablenamingconventions>
    (|apex-codestyle|) has been deprecated and
    will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by the more
    general rules
    |FieldNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#fieldnamingconventions>,
    |FormalParameterNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#formalparameternamingconventions>,
    |LocalVariableNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#localvariablenamingconventions>,
    and
    |PropertyNamingConventions|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_codestyle.html#propertynamingconventions>.

  *

    The Java rule |LoggerIsNotStaticFinal|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#loggerisnotstaticfinal>
    (|java-errorprone|) has been deprecated
    and will be removed with PMD 7.0.0. The rule is replaced by
    |ProperLogger|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.15.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#properlogger>.
