• Support for 12.3 syntax (+=, -=, ...)
• New rules: CompileTimeArguments (#849) and UnquotedParameterOsCommand (also #849)
• Fixed issues #839, #840, #841, #801
• New Proparse directive to skip tokens in source code: anything between {&_proparse_ skip-section} and {&_proparse_ skip-section-end} is skipped.
• Fixed several metrics, which were incorrect since the ANTLR4 migration
• Fixed NullPointerException introduced in 2.9 for SonarLint 5.x in standalone mode

Custom rules developers:

• Ability to register TreeParser

Version 2.9.0

⚠️ Starting from version 2.9.0, you have to use SonarQube 7.6 or higher. It's strongly suggested to use the latest patch level of 7.9 (7.9.4 as of today) or 8.x (8.4.2 as of today).

• Minor rule changes (isse #835, #832, #826, #809, #837)

Custom rules developers:

• Removed the INCLUDEDIRECTIVE_END token which was introduced in 2.8, as it brought more problems than solutions

Version 2.8.2

• Fix race condition leading to NullPointerException in RefactorSession#getAllClassesFromPackage()
• Fix false positive in HiddenVariable rule (issue #808)
• Fix NPE in multiple security rules

Version 2.8.1

• Do not report variables used only as fillers for output parameters in VariableAssignedButNotRead rule
• New NestedDo rule (#477)
• New NoInitialDefaultValue rule (#514)

• Progress built-in classes now fully available in the grammar. RCode is also read from the entire propath.
• Fixed invalid location of Proparse directives under specific circumstances (#705)
• Compiler warnings are not reported anymore if the rule for a given warning number is not active in quality profile

For custom rules developers:

• The main class for lexing code is org.prorefactor.proparse.ABLLexer
• The main class for parsing code is still org.prorefactor.treeparser.ParseUnit
• New END_OF_INCLUDE_FILE token in the stream
• Preprocessor expressions are now available as hidden tokens in the stream
