7------------------
8[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/74?closed=1)
9* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.AND` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_AND`.
10* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.OR` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_OR`.
11* `getPrimaryTypeName` and `getPrimaryType` give access to the type that has the same name as the file it came from.
12* Enums will now get their constants aligned vertically if there are more than five.
13* You can now convert between `AssignExpr.Operator` and `AssignExpr.Operator` if you like.

Danny van Bruggen304f6f92018-01-12 21:51:08 +010015Version 3.5.10
16------------------
17[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/73?closed=1)
18* JavaSymbolSolver is now in the same project as JavaParser, meaning they get released together from now on.
19* LexicalPreservingPrinter has had a big speed optimization.

Danny van Bruggenfde26512018-01-07 19:11:59 +010021Version 3.5.9
22------------------
23[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/72?closed=1)
24* BREAKING: the very confusing constructor `NodeList(Node)` (which sets the parent) was removed.
25* To avoid using the int type for token kinds, use the new `JavaToken.Kind` enum.
26It can convert to and from the int kind.

73------------------
74[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/63?closed=1)
75* A functional visitor API has been added. See [PR 1195](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1195) for now.
76* Build is working again on Windows thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
77* The pretty printer now has an option to order imports, also thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
78* Receiver parameters are now well-supported instead of being a hack. See [issue 1194](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1194) for a description.

87------------------
88[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/61?closed=1)
89* BETA: we're still doing work to integrate parts of [Java Symbol Solver](https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver) to simplify its API.
90* `VisitorMap` is joined by `VisitorSet` and `VisitorList`,
91for when you want to store `Node`s in collection but don't want its default equals/hascode behaviour

97* JDK 9 will compile JavaParser now.
98* [An official sample Maven setup](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser-maven-sample) was added.
99
Danny van Bruggendf3995f2017-09-24 21:40:17 +0200100Version 3.4.1
101------------------
102[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/59?closed=1)
103* Two visitors were added: `NoCommentEqualsVisitor` and `NoCommentHashCodeVisitor` -
104as the name implies you can use these to compare nodes without considering comments.
105Thanks Ryan Beckett!
106* `isSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid `instanceof`.
107* `asSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid casting to that type.
108* `ifSomeType()` methods have been added for many types, giving a nice functional way of doing if-is-type-then-cast-to-type-then-use.
109* The `LexicalPreservingPrinter` had its API changed a little: setup and printing are now separate things,
110so you don't have to drag an instance of `LexicalPreservingPrinter` through your code anymore.
111* `traverseScope` was added to all nodes with a scope, so you can travel through the scope without tripping over (non-)optionality.
112
113
Danny van Bruggen0ea4d492017-09-17 19:56:00 +0200114Version 3.4.0
115------------------
116[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/58?closed=1)
117* BREAKING: We missed a Java 9 feature which is now on board: try with resources can now refer to a resource declared outside of the statement.
118This means that the node type you get for those resources is now `Expression` instead of `VariableDeclarationExpr`.
119For Java 8 and below you can simply cast it to `VariableDeclarationExpr` again.
120See also the Javadoc for `TryStmt`.
121* You can now inspect the AST by exporting it to XML, JSON, YAML, or a Graphviz's dot diagram, thanks to Ryan Beckett!
122* `GenericVisitorWithDefaults` and `VoidVisitorWithDefaults` were added which function like empty visitors,
123but all the visit methods call a default method by default.
124* Annotation support was cleaned up, adding some obscure locations where you can have annotations.
125* `EnumDeclaration` regained its constructor builder methods. They were accidentally lost around 3.2.2.
Danny van Bruggen06ccb382017-09-17 20:18:26 +0200126* `ArrayType` now has an `origin` field which indicates in which position the array brackets were found.

135* `SourceZip` has been added.
136Use it to read source code from jars or zip files.
137Thank you @ryan-beckett !
138* JavaCC was upgraded to 7.0.2
139* A new option for the pretty printer was added.
140You can now wrap-and-column-align parameters of method calls.
141Thank you @tarilabs !

155------------------
156[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/53?closed=1)
157* The token list is now mutable - see methods on `JavaToken`.
158This caused mild breakage - some fields have become `Optional`.
159
Danny van Bruggen3cd1be02017-07-26 19:31:35 +0200160Version 3.3.0
161------------------
162[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/52?closed=1)
163* Breaking: `TryStmt::tryBlock` and `EnclosedExpr::inner` were optional for no good reason. Now they are required.
164* You can now ask a `JavaToken` for its category, which is useful for examining the token list or doing syntax highlighting or so.
165* `enum` and `strictfp` can now be used as identifiers on lower Java versions.

186------------------
187[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/48?closed=1)
188* Added `isInnerClass()` that checks if a `ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration` is an inner class (note: this is different from a nested class!)
189* @ryan-beckett contributed a huge [Eclipse setup guide](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/wiki/Eclipse-Project-Setup-Guide)

195

197------------------
198[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/46?closed=1)
199* `EmptyMemberDeclaration` is gone!
200It was deprecated for a while because it it was in the AST, but doesn't have any meaning in a Java program.
201`EmptyStmt` was also deprecated, but that has been reverted.
202This node *does* have meaning.
203
Danny van Bruggenee5691c2017-05-22 19:47:13 +0200204Version 3.2.5
205------------------
206[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/45?closed=1)
207* `NodeWithCondition` was added on all nodes containing a condition.
208* Lots of work on improving lexical preservation.
209* If a file was parsed from a file system, you can now get path information etc. from `CompilationUnit`
210* API BREAKING: every node now points to its start and end token.
211Some of the API has started returning `TokenRange` instead of `Range` - you can call `toRange` to get the old object type.
212We may still change the naming of some of this code in the following month.
213
Danny van Bruggen5201adc2017-05-14 14:00:56 +0200214Version 3.2.4
215------------------
216New style changelog, no more issue numbers, but a link:
217[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/44?closed=1)
218and any notable changes:
219* the new method `Node.removeForced()` by removing it, or removing the first parent that is optional.
220This is different from `Node.remove()`, `remove()` only tries to remove the node from the parent and fails if it can't.
221* `FieldAccessExpr.scope` is now a required property.
222You might find some `get()`s in your code that are no longer necessary.
223* `ReferenceType` no longer has a type parameter, so every `ReferenceType<?>` can be replaced by `ReferenceType` now.

260------------------
261Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor`, and `LexicalPreservingPrinter`.
262
263A start has been made on source level support. The default level is Java 8.
264It can be set to Java 9 like this for a parser *instance*:
265```java
266private final JavaParser parser = new JavaParser(new ParserConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator()));
267```
268and like this for the static parse methods:
269```java
270JavaParser.getStaticConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator());
271```
272
273* 862 552 "_" is an illegal identifier on source level 9.

279
280* 594 849 831 a validation framework was introduced to inform about problems in the AST without needing to change the grammar,
281and without requiring parsing code.
282It is open for extension by users.
283* 852 853 826 832 846 839 smaller improvements and fixes
284
Danny van Bruggenf50a5512017-03-04 18:14:46 +0100285Version 3.1.1
286------------------
287Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor`, `ConcreteSyntaxModel`, and `LexicalPreservingPrinter`.
288
289* 654 124 lexical preservation (printing source code with the same formatting it had when parsing) has been added.
290 Thank you @ftomassetti for a lot of work!
291* 554 800 first (big) step towards Java 9 support: JavaParser can read project Jigsaw module definitions.
292* 795 786 751 extend the TreeVisitor with more traversal options. Thanks @ryan-beckett!
293* 791 `GenericListVisitorAdapter` has been added which collects its results in a list. Thanks @Gottox!
294* 815 798 797 813 clean up Problem text
295* 819 818 817 816 441 809 808 807 fix various absurd annotation related issues.

Danny van Bruggenf50a5512017-03-04 18:14:46 +0100300Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor` and `ConcreteSyntaxModel`.
Danny van Bruggen076d3ee2017-02-19 22:56:24 +0100301
302* 705 755 Add the concrete syntax model, which will give you information about the exact syntax a certain nodes matches.
303
304* 777 smaller improvements and fixes
305
Danny van Bruggenadae33f2017-02-14 19:59:50 +0100306Version 3.1.0-beta.2
307------------------
308This version is a beta because `TreeStructureVisitor` is not in its definite state yet.
309
310* 762 761 772 merge `javaparser-metamodel` and `javaparser-generator-utils` into `javaparser-core`.
311* 766 the `ModifierVisitor` is now created by a code generator. Its behaviour has been made logical, and may give different results than before.
312* 755 `ConstructorDeclaration` and `MethodDeclaration` now share a parent: `CallableDeclaration`
313* 687 759 773 769 768 767 765 759 smaller improvements and fixes

Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100315Version 3.1.0-beta.1
Danny van Bruggen70f343e2017-01-28 14:07:25 +0100316------------------
Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100317This version is a beta because there are a lot of new features that may still change.
318
319This version needs a minor version increase because of a backwards compatability issue:
320* 719 `getJavadoc`, `getJavadocComment` and `getComment` could return null. Our promise was to return `Optional`, so that is what they do now.
Danny van Bruggen70f343e2017-01-28 14:07:25 +0100321
322New:
Danny van Bruggene6079d82017-02-05 16:50:01 +0100323* 658 718 736 737 we have created a metamodel.
Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100324It gives information about the structure of the various AST nodes, as if you are introspecting them.
325You can find it in `javaparser-metamodel`, the main class is `JavaParserMetaModel`
Danny van Bruggene6079d82017-02-05 16:50:01 +0100326* 353 365 visitors are no longer hand made, they are now generated from the metamodel. This should make them 100% reliable.
Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100327Affected visitors are: `GenericVisitorAdapter`, `EqualsVisitor`, `VoidVisitorAdapter`, `VoidVisitor`, `GenericVisitor`, `HashCodeVisitor`, `CloneVisitor`.
328
329If you want to generate your own visitors, you can use the `VisitorGenerator` class from `javaparser-core-generators`

331If you want to reuse the code generation utilities, look at module `javaparser-generator-utils` - there is a very useful `SourceRoot` class in there that takes away a lot of file management troubles.
