+ Apache Creadur Rat 0.16.1
+ RELEASE NOTES
+
+The Apache Creadur Rat team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Creadur Rat 0.16.1
+
+Apache Rat is a release audit tool. It improves accuracy and efficiency when
checking
+releases. It is heuristic in nature: making guesses about possible problems. It
+will produce false positives and cannot find every possible issue with a
release.
+Its reports require interpretation.
+
+In response to demands from project quality tool developers, Rat is available
as a
+library suitable for inclusion in tools. This POM describes that library.
+Note that binary compatibility is not guaranteed between 0.x releases.
+
+Apache Rat is developed by the Apache Creadur project, a language and build
+agnostic home for software distribution comprehension and audit tools.
+
+As release 0.16 introduced breaking changes concerning the configurability of
the Maven plugin, these configuration options are reintroduced albeit as
deprecated elements. You need to adapt your configuration in contrast to
pre-0.16 settings: please consult our webpage for more details and examples.
+Apart from dependency updates the release contains new features in
.gitignore-parser and reduces log spam of RAT.
+The most important bugfix relates to performance issues (due to expensive
regex scanning) in combination with the Copyright-matcher and SPDX-detection.
+All feedback was used to overhaul the homepage to include how to configure
custom licenses and matchers.
+We migrated to jUnit5 and removed the 'apache-rat-api' module in this release.
+Thanks for your patience and all the feedback in the making of this release!
+
+Changes in this version include:
+
+New features:
+o RAT-342: Use Maven wrapper (with version 3.9.6) for reproducable local
builds and on ASF Jenkins and Github Actions.
+o RAT-348: Update gitignore-reader library to 1.3.1 to get latest changes in
gitignore parsing. Thanks to Niels Basjes.
+o RAT-346: Issue a warning if a user defined License family has the same name
as an existing one. Thanks to Claude Warren.
+o RAT-346: Migrate to JUnit5 and fix minor issues in tests and javadoc.
Thanks to Claude Warren.
+o RAT-325: Set log level default for CLI runs to WARN. This applies to test
runs as well, as other UIs configure their logging natively. Thanks to Claude
Warren.
+o RAT-325: Add missing dejavu font in Javadoc, generate MOJO metadata in site
and fix broken links in webpage.
+
+Fixed Bugs:
+o RAT-343: Reimplement old configuration elements for custom licenses in
Maven plugin configurations (and updates to the webpage). Thanks to Claude
Warren.
+o RAT-343: Add integration test to allow enhanced testing of custom licenses.
Thanks to Niels Basjes.
+o RAT-349: Fix NPE by falling back to default stylesheet if none was
configured before. Thanks to Niels Basjes.
+o RAT-325: To improve the performance during SPDX processing a check to skip
expensive regex operations was added. Thanks to Claude Warren.
+o RAT-325: Internal logging feature enabled for license matching tests to
avoid random test failures when manipulating System.out in test runs. Thanks to
Claude Warren.
+o RAT-325: Do not load fonts via Google/remotely, but use files hosted by ASF
only and add privacy link to comply with ASF- and data protection/privacy
regulations.
+o RAT-344: Fix double output by deleting any existing RAT report before
writing a fresh file during plugin runs.
+
+Changes:
+o RAT-339: Update mavenPluginPluginVersion from 3.10.2 to 3.11.0 and
introduce goalPrefix in plugin configuration. Thanks to dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update junit-platform-runner from 1.8.1 to 1.10.1. Thanks to
dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update junit from 5.10.0 to 5.10.1. Thanks to dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update actions/cache from 3.3.2 to 4.0.0. Thanks to dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update maven-surefire-plugin from 3.2.3 to 3.2.5. Thanks to
dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update maven-jxr-plugin from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2. Thanks to dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update slf4j-simple from 2.0.9 to 2.0.11. Thanks to dependabot.
+o RAT-339: Update assertj-core from 3.24.2 to 3.25.1. Thanks to dependabot.
+
+Removed:
+o RAT-346: Remove apache-rat-api module that contains misleading
license-related classes. Thanks to Claude Warren.
