      New and noteworthy

        New Rules

  * The new Java rule |UnusedAssignment|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.26.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedassignment>
    (|java-bestpractices|) finds assignments
    to variables, that are never used and are useless. The new rule is
    supposed to entirely replace
    |DataflowAnomalyAnalysis|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.26.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#dataflowanomalyanalysis>.

        Modified rules

  * The Java rule |ArrayIsStoredDirectly|
    <https://pmd.github.io/pmd-6.26.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#arrayisstoreddirectly>
    (|java-bestpractices|) now ignores
    by default private methods and constructors. You can restore the old
    behavior by setting the new property
    |allowPrivate| to "false".
