2------------------
3[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/74?closed=1)
4* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.AND` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_AND`.
5* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.OR` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_OR`.
6* `getPrimaryTypeName` and `getPrimaryType` give access to the type that has the same name as the file it came from.
7* Enums will now get their constants aligned vertically if there are more than five.
8* You can now convert between `AssignExpr.Operator` and `AssignExpr.Operator` if you like.

11------------------
12[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/73?closed=1)
13* JavaSymbolSolver is now in the same project as JavaParser, meaning they get released together from now on.
14* LexicalPreservingPrinter has had a big speed optimization.

Danny van Bruggenfde26512018-01-07 19:11:59 +010016Version 3.5.9
17------------------
18[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/72?closed=1)
19* BREAKING: the very confusing constructor `NodeList(Node)` (which sets the parent) was removed.
20* To avoid using the int type for token kinds, use the new `JavaToken.Kind` enum.
21It can convert to and from the int kind.

70* A functional visitor API has been added. See [PR 1195](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1195) for now.
71* Build is working again on Windows thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
72* The pretty printer now has an option to order imports, also thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
73* Receiver parameters are now well-supported instead of being a hack. See [issue 1194](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1194) for a description.

82------------------
83[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/61?closed=1)
84* BETA: we're still doing work to integrate parts of [Java Symbol Solver](https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver) to simplify its API.
85* `VisitorMap` is joined by `VisitorSet` and `VisitorList`,
86for when you want to store `Node`s in collection but don't want its default equals/hascode behaviour

92* JDK 9 will compile JavaParser now.
93* [An official sample Maven setup](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser-maven-sample) was added.
94
Danny van Bruggendf3995f2017-09-24 21:40:17 +020095Version 3.4.1
96------------------
97[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/59?closed=1)
98* Two visitors were added: `NoCommentEqualsVisitor` and `NoCommentHashCodeVisitor` -
99as the name implies you can use these to compare nodes without considering comments.
100Thanks Ryan Beckett!
101* `isSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid `instanceof`.
102* `asSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid casting to that type.
103* `ifSomeType()` methods have been added for many types, giving a nice functional way of doing if-is-type-then-cast-to-type-then-use.
104* The `LexicalPreservingPrinter` had its API changed a little: setup and printing are now separate things,
105so you don't have to drag an instance of `LexicalPreservingPrinter` through your code anymore.
106* `traverseScope` was added to all nodes with a scope, so you can travel through the scope without tripping over (non-)optionality.

Danny van Bruggen0ea4d492017-09-17 19:56:00 +0200109Version 3.4.0
110------------------
111[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/58?closed=1)
112* 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.
113This means that the node type you get for those resources is now `Expression` instead of `VariableDeclarationExpr`.
114For Java 8 and below you can simply cast it to `VariableDeclarationExpr` again.
115See also the Javadoc for `TryStmt`.
116* You can now inspect the AST by exporting it to XML, JSON, YAML, or a Graphviz's dot diagram, thanks to Ryan Beckett!
117* `GenericVisitorWithDefaults` and `VoidVisitorWithDefaults` were added which function like empty visitors,
118but all the visit methods call a default method by default.
119* Annotation support was cleaned up, adding some obscure locations where you can have annotations.
120* `EnumDeclaration` regained its constructor builder methods. They were accidentally lost around 3.2.2.
Danny van Bruggen06ccb382017-09-17 20:18:26 +0200121* `ArrayType` now has an `origin` field which indicates in which position the array brackets were found.

130* `SourceZip` has been added.
131Use it to read source code from jars or zip files.
132Thank you @ryan-beckett !
133* JavaCC was upgraded to 7.0.2
134* A new option for the pretty printer was added.
135You can now wrap-and-column-align parameters of method calls.
136Thank you @tarilabs !

150------------------
151[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/53?closed=1)
152* The token list is now mutable - see methods on `JavaToken`.
153This caused mild breakage - some fields have become `Optional`.
154
Danny van Bruggen3cd1be02017-07-26 19:31:35 +0200155Version 3.3.0
156------------------
157[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/52?closed=1)
158* Breaking: `TryStmt::tryBlock` and `EnclosedExpr::inner` were optional for no good reason. Now they are required.
159* You can now ask a `JavaToken` for its category, which is useful for examining the token list or doing syntax highlighting or so.
160* `enum` and `strictfp` can now be used as identifiers on lower Java versions.

181------------------
182[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/48?closed=1)
183* Added `isInnerClass()` that checks if a `ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration` is an inner class (note: this is different from a nested class!)
184* @ryan-beckett contributed a huge [Eclipse setup guide](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/wiki/Eclipse-Project-Setup-Guide)

192------------------
193[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/46?closed=1)
194* `EmptyMemberDeclaration` is gone!
195It was deprecated for a while because it it was in the AST, but doesn't have any meaning in a Java program.
196`EmptyStmt` was also deprecated, but that has been reverted.
197This node *does* have meaning.
198
Danny van Bruggenee5691c2017-05-22 19:47:13 +0200199Version 3.2.5
200------------------
201[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/45?closed=1)
202* `NodeWithCondition` was added on all nodes containing a condition.
203* Lots of work on improving lexical preservation.
204* If a file was parsed from a file system, you can now get path information etc. from `CompilationUnit`
205* API BREAKING: every node now points to its start and end token.
206Some of the API has started returning `TokenRange` instead of `Range` - you can call `toRange` to get the old object type.
207We may still change the naming of some of this code in the following month.
208
Danny van Bruggen5201adc2017-05-14 14:00:56 +0200209Version 3.2.4
210------------------
211New style changelog, no more issue numbers, but a link:
212[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/44?closed=1)
213and any notable changes:
214* the new method `Node.removeForced()` by removing it, or removing the first parent that is optional.
215This is different from `Node.remove()`, `remove()` only tries to remove the node from the parent and fails if it can't.
216* `FieldAccessExpr.scope` is now a required property.
217You might find some `get()`s in your code that are no longer necessary.
218* `ReferenceType` no longer has a type parameter, so every `ReferenceType<?>` can be replaced by `ReferenceType` now.

255------------------
256Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor`, and `LexicalPreservingPrinter`.
257
258A start has been made on source level support. The default level is Java 8.
259It can be set to Java 9 like this for a parser *instance*:
260```java
261private final JavaParser parser = new JavaParser(new ParserConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator()));
262```
263and like this for the static parse methods:
264```java
265JavaParser.getStaticConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator());
266```
267
268* 862 552 "_" is an illegal identifier on source level 9.

273Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor`, `ConcreteSyntaxModel`, and `LexicalPreservingPrinter`.
274
275* 594 849 831 a validation framework was introduced to inform about problems in the AST without needing to change the grammar,
276and without requiring parsing code.
277It is open for extension by users.
278* 852 853 826 832 846 839 smaller improvements and fixes
279
Danny van Bruggenf50a5512017-03-04 18:14:46 +0100280Version 3.1.1
281------------------
282Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor`, `ConcreteSyntaxModel`, and `LexicalPreservingPrinter`.
283
284* 654 124 lexical preservation (printing source code with the same formatting it had when parsing) has been added.
285 Thank you @ftomassetti for a lot of work!
286* 554 800 first (big) step towards Java 9 support: JavaParser can read project Jigsaw module definitions.
287* 795 786 751 extend the TreeVisitor with more traversal options. Thanks @ryan-beckett!
288* 791 `GenericListVisitorAdapter` has been added which collects its results in a list. Thanks @Gottox!
289* 815 798 797 813 clean up Problem text
290* 819 818 817 816 441 809 808 807 fix various absurd annotation related issues.

Danny van Bruggenf50a5512017-03-04 18:14:46 +0100295Beta: `TreeStructureVisitor` and `ConcreteSyntaxModel`.
Danny van Bruggen076d3ee2017-02-19 22:56:24 +0100296
297* 705 755 Add the concrete syntax model, which will give you information about the exact syntax a certain nodes matches.
298
299* 777 smaller improvements and fixes
300
Danny van Bruggenadae33f2017-02-14 19:59:50 +0100301Version 3.1.0-beta.2
302------------------
303This version is a beta because `TreeStructureVisitor` is not in its definite state yet.
304
305* 762 761 772 merge `javaparser-metamodel` and `javaparser-generator-utils` into `javaparser-core`.
306* 766 the `ModifierVisitor` is now created by a code generator. Its behaviour has been made logical, and may give different results than before.
307* 755 `ConstructorDeclaration` and `MethodDeclaration` now share a parent: `CallableDeclaration`
308* 687 759 773 769 768 767 765 759 smaller improvements and fixes

Danny van Bruggen70f343e2017-01-28 14:07:25 +0100311------------------
Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100312This version is a beta because there are a lot of new features that may still change.
313
314This version needs a minor version increase because of a backwards compatability issue:
315* 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 +0100316
317New:
Danny van Bruggene6079d82017-02-05 16:50:01 +0100318* 658 718 736 737 we have created a metamodel.
Danny van Bruggen23d54772017-02-05 16:21:16 +0100319It gives information about the structure of the various AST nodes, as if you are introspecting them.
320You can find it in `javaparser-metamodel`, the main class is `JavaParserMetaModel`
Danny van Bruggene6079d82017-02-05 16:50:01 +0100321* 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 +0100322Affected visitors are: `GenericVisitorAdapter`, `EqualsVisitor`, `VoidVisitorAdapter`, `VoidVisitor`, `GenericVisitor`, `HashCodeVisitor`, `CloneVisitor`.
323
324If you want to generate your own visitors, you can use the `VisitorGenerator` class from `javaparser-core-generators`
325
326If 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.
