        🚀️ New: Java 26 Support

This release of PMD brings support for Java 26.

There are no new standard language features.

There is one preview language feature:
* JEP 530: Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Fourth 
Preview) <https://openjdk.org/jeps/530>

In order to analyze a project with PMD that uses these preview language 
features,
you'll need to select the new language version |26-preview|:

|pmd check --use-version java-26-preview ... |

Note: Support for Java 24 preview language features have been removed. 
The version "24-preview"
is no longer available.


        Build Requirement is Java 21

 From now on, Java 21 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.


        CPD

  * The Apex module now supports suppression
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_userdocs_cpd.html#suppression>
    through |CPD-ON|/|CPD-OFF| comment pairs. See #6417
    <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/6417>


      🌟️ New and Changed Rules


        New Rules

  * The new Java rule |PublicMemberInNonPublicType|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_design.html#publicmemberinnonpublictype>
    detects public members (such as methods
    or fields) within non-public types. Non-public types should not
    declare public members, as their effective
    visibility is limited, and using the |public| modifier can create
    confusion.
  * The new Java rule |UnsupportedJdkApiUsage|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#unsupportedjdkapiusage>
    flags the use of unsupported and non-portable
    JDK APIs, including |sun.*| packages, |sun.misc.Unsafe|, and
    |jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe|. These APIs are unstable,
    intended for internal use, and may change or be removed. The rule
    complements Java compiler warnings by
    highlighting such usage during code reviews and encouraging
    migration to official APIs like VarHandle and
    the Foreign Function & Memory API.


        Changed Rules

The following rules have been changed to use a consistent implementation 
of enum based
rule properties:
* The property |checkAddressTypes| of rule |AvoidUsingHardCodedIP| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#avoidusinghardcodedip> 
has changed:
* Instead of |IPv4| use |ipv4|
* Instead of |IPv6| use |ipv6|
* Instead of |IPv4 mapped IPv6| use |ipv4MappedIpv6|
* The old values still work, but you'll see a deprecation warning.
* The property |nullCheckBranch| of rule |ConfusingTernary| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#confusingternary> 
has changed:
* Instead of |Any| use |any|
* Instead of |Then| use |then|
* Instead of |Else| use |else|
* The old values still work, but you'll see a deprecation warning.
* The property |typeAnnotations| of rule |ModifierOrder| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#modifierorder> 
has changed:
* Instead of |ontype| use |onType|
* Instead of |ondecl| use |onDecl|
* The old values still work, but you'll see a deprecation warning.
* The values of the properties of rule |CommentRequired| 
<https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_documentation.html#commentrequired> 
have changed:
* Instead of |Required| use |required|
* Instead of |Ignored| use |ignored|
* Instead of |Unwanted| use |unwanted|
* The old values still work, but you'll see a deprecation warning.


        Deprecated Rules

  * The Java rule |DontImportSun|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#dontimportsun>
    has been deprecated. It is replaced by
    |UnsupportedJdkApiUsage|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.21.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#unsupportedjdkapiusage>.
