      🚀️ New and noteworthy

        Updated ANTLR library to 4.13.2

We have updated the ANTLR library (parser generator) from 4.9.3 to the 
latest version 4.13.2,
in order to be able to use the latest version of Apex parser library.

This is an incompatible update: In case you use custom language modules 
based on ANTLR, you
need to make sure to regenerate all of your lexers and parsers with the 
new ANTLR version.

For the ANTLR based language modules, that PMD ships (kotlin and swift 
and various CPD modules),
this is already done.

      🌟️ New and Changed Rules

        New Rules

  * The new Java rule |JUnitJupiterTestNoPrivateModifier|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_errorprone.html#junitjupitertestnoprivatemodifier>
    find JUnit test classes and
    methods that are private. Test classes, test methods, and lifecycle
    methods are not required to be public,
    but they must not be private. Otherwise, they won’t be found by the
    test framework.
  * The new Java rule |UnnecessaryBlock|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#unnecessaryblock>
    reports blocks that are unnecessary as
    they don't introduce a new scope. This rule helps simplify code
    structure by identifying and flagging
    redundant blocks that can make code harder to read and may be
    misleading.
  * The new Java rule |VariableDeclarationUsageDistance|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#variabledeclarationusagedistance>
    flags local variables that are declared
    far from their usage, which can make code harder to read. The rule
    has a property |maxDistance| that allows to
    configure the maximum allowed distance between declaration and usage.
  * The new Java rule |AssertStatementInTest|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#assertstatementintest>
    detects usages of |assert| statement in tests.
    These should be replaced by framework assertion methods such as
    |assertEquals|.
    Such methods provide better error messages and make test behave
    correctly when running without |-ea|.

        Changed Rules

  * The rule |OnlyOneReturn|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#onlyonereturn>
    has a new property |allowGuardIfs|. When this property is
    true, then guard ifs at the beginning of a method are allowed their
    return statements don't count.
  * The rules |UseUtilityClass|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_design.html#useutilityclass>
    and |ClassNamingConventions|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#classnamingconventions>
    now use the
    same definition of what a utility class is. The most significant
    change is, that classes with |main()| methods are
    no longer considered utility classes by |UseUtilityClass|.
  * We are continuously working to improve the precision of violation
    reporting for various rules.
    The goal is to ensure that rules report issues on the correct line
    and highlight only the relevant lines.
    For example, instead of flagging an entire class declaration
    (including its body), we now generally report only
    the class name. For more details, see [java] Single Line Warnings
    #730 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/730>
    and [java] Review reported locations of rules #3769
    <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3769>. While this effort
    is still ongoing, the following Java rules have been updated in this
    release:
      o |AbstractClassWithoutAbstractMethod|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#abstractclasswithoutabstractmethod>
      o |AbstractClassWithoutAnyMethod|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_design.html#abstractclasswithoutanymethod>
      o |AtLeastOneConstructor|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#atleastoneconstructor>

        Renamed rules and properties

  * One rule and one property have been renamed to reflect the fact that
    they work for both JUnit 5 and 6:
  * The rule |JUnitJupiterTestShouldBePackagePrivate|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_bestpractices.html#junitjupitertestshouldbepackageprivate>
    (Java Best Practices) was renamed from
    |JUnit5TestShouldBePackagePrivate|.
  * The property |junitJupiterTestPattern| of rule
    |MethodNamingConventions|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.25.0/pmd_rules_java_codestyle.html#methodnamingconventions>
    (Java Code Style) was renamed from |junit5TestPattern|.

The old names still work but are deprecated.

    Use |getInstance|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/KotlinLanguageModule.html#getInstance()>,
    |createProcessor|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/KotlinLanguageModule.html#createProcessor(net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.LanguagePropertyBundle)>

    |services|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/KotlinLanguageProcessor.html#services()>
    instead to access the LanguageVersionHandler
    for Kotlin.
  * The methods |KotlinInnerNode#getImage|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KotlinInnerNode.html#getImage()>
    and
    |KotlinInnerNode#hasImageEqualTo|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KotlinInnerNode.html#hasImageEqualTo(java.lang.String)>
    have been deprecated.
    They have not been used yet in Kotlin and the long-term plan is to
    remove these methods on each node.
    Concrete nodes (subclasses of KotlinInnerNode) should provide a more
    specific attribute like
    "getName" or "getIdentifier" instead and not rely on "getImage".
    The same deprecation has been done for |KotlinTerminalNode|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KotlinTerminalNode.html#>.
    See #4787 <https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/4787> for more information.

  * Multiple classes have been added that provide an experimental way to
    add custom attributes to nodes:
      o |AttributeView|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/AttributeView.html#>
      o |KtClassDeclarationAttributes|

      o |KtCompanionObjectAttributes|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KtCompanionObjectAttributes.html#>
      o |KtFunctionDeclarationAttributes|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KtFunctionDeclarationAttributes.html#>
      o |KtImportAliasAttributes|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KtImportAliasAttributes.html#>
      o |KtImportHeaderAttributes|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KtImportHeaderAttributes.html#>
      o |KtVariableDeclarationAttributes|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KtVariableDeclarationAttributes.html#>
      o |HasModifiers|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/HasModifiers.html#>
      o |HasSimpleIdentifier|
        <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/HasSimpleIdentifier.html#>
  * Attributes can be accessed on each node in Java-based rules via
    |KotlinInnerNode#attributes|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/apidocs/pmd-kotlin/7.25.0/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/kotlin/ast/KotlinInnerNode.html#attributes(java.lang.Class)>.
    The attributes are also automatically exposed for XPath rules.
