        Docker images

PMD is now providing official docker images at 
https://hub.docker.com/r/pmdcode/pmd and
https://github.com/pmd/docker/pkgs/container/pmd.

You can now analyze your code with PMD by using docker like so:

|docker run --rm --tty -v $PWD:/src pmdcode/pmd:latest check -d . -R 
rulesets/java/quickstart.xml` |

More information is available at https://github.com/pmd/docker.

        Experimental support for language dialects

A dialect is a particular form of another supported language. For 
example, an XSLT is a particular
form of an XML. Even though the dialect has its own semantics and uses, 
the contents are still readable
by any tool capable of understanding the base language.

In PMD, a dialect allows to set up completely custom rules, XPath 
functions, properties and metrics
for these files; while retaining the full support of the underlying base 
language including
already existing rules and XPath functions.

See [core] Support language dialects #5438 
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/5438> and
Adding a new dialect 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.13.0/pmd_devdocs_major_adding_dialect.html> 
for more information.

        ✨ New Rules

  * The new Apex rule |TypeShadowsBuiltInNamespace|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.13.0/pmd_rules_apex_errorprone.html#typeshadowsbuiltinnamespace>
    finds Apex classes, enums, and interfaces
    that have the same name as a class, enum, or interface in the
    |System| or |Schema| namespace.
    Shadowing these namespaces in this way can lead to confusion and
    unexpected behavior.
