      🚀 New and noteworthy

        ✨ New Rules

  * The new Apex rule |AvoidBooleanMethodParameters|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.15.0/pmd_rules_apex_design.html#avoidbooleanmethodparameters>
    finds methods that take a
    boolean parameter. This can make method calls difficult to
    understand and maintain as the method is clearly
    doing two things.

      🚨 API Changes

        Rule Test Schema

The rule test schema has been extended to support verifying suppressed 
violations.
See Testing your rules 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.15.0/pmd_userdocs_extending_testing.html> 
for more information.

Also note, the schema rule-tests.xsd 
<https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/main/pmd-test-schema/src/main/resources/net/sourceforge/pmd/test/schema/rule-tests_1_1_0.xsd>
is now only in the module "pmd-test-schema". It has been removed from 
the old location from module "pmd-test".
