CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Version 0.12.1

• Add library model for Apache Commons CollectionUtils.isNotEmpty (#932) (#1062)
• Handle records in targetTypeMatches (#1061)

Version 0.12.0

IMPORTANT:

• We now by default check/enforce that pure type-use annotations from JSpecify are written in the "right place" on array types, varargs types, and nested types. More details can be found in the wiki. We also expose -XepOpt:NullAway:LegacyAnnotationLocations flag to disable this new behavior for now to ease the migration. We expect to remove this flag in a future version of NullAway.
• We now support writing @EnsuresNonNullIf on methods to capture cases where a method conditionally ensures that a field is @NonNull. Thanks @mauricioaniche for the contributions!
