Anyone doing that would be on their own. So also if it causes any tests to fail I'd be surprised. I wasn't sure how much constructor code reorganisation would be needed but it doesn't look too bad.

Hi guys,

The `FontRenderContext` class does not have any setters for the data which it carries, so from a public API perspective it is immutable. However, the private instance variables are not declared final. I was thinking about raising a small PR to make the instance variables final, to more clearly indicate the immutability of the class. Is this considered a backwards-compatible change? Or is it considered non-backwards-compatible, since users can technically use reflection to fiddle with the class internals (and since final will soon more definitely mean final)?

Take care,

Daniel
