      🚀 New and noteworthy

        ✨ New Rules

  * The new Java rule |ImplicitFunctionalInterface|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.12.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#implicitfunctionalinterface>
    reports functional interfaces that were
    not explicitly declared as such with the annotation
    |@FunctionalInterface|. If an interface is accidentally a functional
    interface, then it should bear a
    |@SuppressWarnings("PMD.ImplicitFunctionalInterface")|
    annotation to make this clear.

      🐛 Fixed Issues

      🚨 API Changes

        Deprecations

  * java
  * The method |buildConstValue|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/AbstractJavaExpr.html#buildConstValue()>
    is deprecated for removal. It should
    have been package-private from the start. In order to get the
    (compile time) const value of an expression, use
    |getConstValue|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTExpression.html#getConstValue()>
    or |getConstFoldingResult|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTExpression.html#getConstFoldingResult()>
    instead.
  *

    For the same reason, the following methods are also deprecated for
    removal:
    |buildConstValue|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTNumericLiteral.html#buildConstValue()>
    and |buildConstValue|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/ast/ASTStringLiteral.html#buildConstValue()>.

  *

    |JTypeVar#withUpperbound|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-java/7.12.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/java/types/JTypeVar.html#withUpperbound(net.sourceforge.pmd.types.JTypeMirror)>
    is deprecated. It was previously meant to be used
    internally and not needed anymore.
