      🚀️ New and noteworthy


        Build Requirement is Java 17

 From now on, Java 17 or newer is required to build PMD. PMD itself 
still remains compatible with Java 8,
so that it still can be used in a pure Java 8 environment. This allows 
us to use the latest
checkstyle version during the build.


      🌟️ New and Changed Rules


        New Rules

  * The new Java rule |IdenticalConditionalBranches|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#identicalconditionalbranches>
    finds conditional statements
    that do the same thing when the condition is true and false. This is
    either incorrect or redundant.
  * The new Java rule |LabeledStatement|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#labeledstatement>
    finds labeled statements in code.
    Labels make control flow difficult to understand and should be
    avoided. By default, the rule allows labeled
    loops (do, while, for). But it has a property to flag also those
    labeled loops.
  * The new Java rule |UnusedLabel|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#unusedlabel>
    finds unused labels which are unnecessary and
    only make the code hard to read. This new rule will be part of the
    quickstart ruleset.


        Changed Rules

  * |ConfusingTernary|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#confusingternary>
    has a new property |nullCheckBranch| to control, whether null-checks
    should be allowed (the default case) or should lead to a violation.
  * |AvoidCatchingGenericException|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidcatchinggenericexception>
    is now configurable with the new property
    |typesThatShouldNotBeCaught|.
    ⚠️ The rule has also been moved from category "Design" to category
    "Error Prone". If you are currently bulk-adding
    all the rules from the "Design" category into your custom ruleset,
    then you need to add the rule explicitly
    again (otherwise it won't be included anymore):
    |xml <rule
    ref="category/java/errorprone.xml/AvoidCatchingGenericException" />|


        Deprecated Rules

  * The Java rule |AvoidCatchingNPE|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidcatchingnpe>
    has been deprecated in favor of the updated rule
    |AvoidCatchingGenericException|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidcatchinggenericexception>,
    which is now configurable.
  * The Java rule |AvoidCatchingThrowable|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidcatchingthrowable>
    has been deprecated in favor of the updated rule
    |AvoidCatchingGenericException|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.18.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#avoidcatchinggenericexception>,
    which is now configurable.
