New and noteworthy

New Rule Designer

Thanks to Clément Fournier, we now have a new rule designer GUI, which is based on JavaFX. It replaces the old designer and can be started via

• bin/run.sh designer (on Unix-like platform such as Linux and Mac OS X)
• bin\designer.bat (on Windows)

Note: At least Java8 is required for the designer. The old designer is still available as designerold but will be removed with the next major release.

Java 9 support

The Java grammar has been updated to support analyzing Java 9 projects:

• private methods in interfaces are possible
• The underscore "_" is considered an invalid identifier
