      🚀 New and noteworthy

        CPD can now ignore literals and identifiers in C++ code

When searching for duplicated code in C++ differences in literals or 
identifiers can be
ignored now (like in Java). This can be enabled via the command line 
options |--ignore-literal|
and |--ignore-identifiers|.
See PR #5040 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/5040> for details.

        Changed Rules

  * |SwitchStmtsShouldHaveDefault|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#switchstmtsshouldhavedefault>
    (Java Best Practices) doesn't report empty switch statements anymore.
    To detect these, use |EmptyControlStatement|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#emptycontrolstatement>.
  * |UnitTestShouldUseAfterAnnotation|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshoulduseafterannotation>
    (Java Best Practices) now also considers JUnit 5 and TestNG tests.
  * |UnitTestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshouldusebeforeannotation>
    (Java Best Practices) now also considers JUnit 5 and TestNG tests.
  * |TooFewBranchesForSwitch|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#toofewbranchesforswitch>
    (Java Performance) doesn't report empty switches anymore.
    To detect these, use |EmptyControlStatement|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#emptycontrolstatement>.

        Renamed Rules

  * Several rules for unit testing have been renamed to better reflect
    their actual scope. Lots of them were called
    after JUnit / JUnit 4, even when they applied to JUnit 5 and / or
    TestNG.
  * |UnitTestAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestassertionsshouldincludemessage>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnitAssertionsShouldIncludeMessage|.
  * |UnitTestContainsTooManyAsserts|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestcontainstoomanyasserts>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnitTestContainsTooManyAsserts|.
  * |UnitTestShouldIncludeAssert|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshouldincludeassert>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnitTestsShouldIncludeAssert|.
  * |UnitTestShouldUseAfterAnnotation|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshoulduseafterannotation>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnit4TestShouldUseAfterAnnotation|.
  * |UnitTestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshouldusebeforeannotation>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnit4TestShouldUseBeforeAnnotation|.
  * |UnitTestShouldUseTestAnnotation|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unittestshouldusetestannotation>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |JUnit4TestShouldUseTestAnnotation|.
  * Several rules about switch statements and switch expression have
    been renamed, as they apply both to Switch Statements
    and to Switch Expressions:
  * |DefaultLabelNotLastInSwitch|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#defaultlabelnotlastinswitch>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |DefaultLabelNotLastInSwitch|.
  * |NonCaseLabelInSwitch|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#noncaselabelinswitch>
    (Java Error Prone) has been renamed from
    |NonCaseLabelInSwitchStatement|.
  * |TooFewBranchesForSwitch|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#toofewbranchesforswitch>
    (Java Performance) has been renamed from
    |TooFewBranchesForASwitchStatement|.
  * |NonExhaustiveSwitch|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.7.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#nonexhaustiveswitch>
    (Java Best Practices) has been renamed from
    |SwitchStmtsShouldHaveDefault|.

The old rule names still work but are deprecated.
