4.0.0: RST Importer
Good news for our 🐍 Python friends: in this release we derived a parser for Restructured Text (RST) from our existing Markdown parser.
The Markdown parser in the process now accepts specification item titles underlined with either "=" (H1) or "-" (H2).
Also, the Markdown parser now ignores whitespace in Needs and Tags entries and correctly parses Tags at the start of a requirement item.
The test coverage for the Markdown importer is now at 100%, and we were able to remove tests that were done with mocks in favor or more robust low-level integration tests.
We also improved detection of requirement forwarding markup:
currentArtifactType-->forwaredTo:originalArtifactType~name~revision
This now works directly after:
- Markdown title
- "Needs" section
- "Depends" section
- "Covers" section
- "Tags" section
Breaking Changes
Java 17
We dropped support for Java 11 for a couple of reasons:
- Oracle JDK does not support version 11 anymore
- AdoptJDK will likely end support for version 11 in September 2024
- Most machines now come preinstalled with 17 or later
- Java 17 has a couple of features that allow for cleaner, safer and more readable code
