## Releases

## 1.17.0

* #1348 Extend transformation extension point

* #1349 Improve powermock stability 

## 1.16.3

* #1345 Improved delayed execution detection in static initialization code

* #1347 Auto add standard kotlin source dirs for maven projects

## 1.16.2

* #1340 Show covering tests for surviving mutants in html report (thanks @vivganes)

* #1342/#1343 Fix misleading logging of history paths (thanks @vivganes)

* #1344 Mutate delayed execution code in enums and singletons

## 1.16.1

* #1329 Prevent version clashes with aggregate goal when plugins use jackson

## 1.16.0

* #1311 - Include unmodifiable collections stored directly to fields in the `+funmodifiablecollection` filter for defensive code

* #1319 - Use environment variables from surefire config

* #1322 - Automatically add -ea to enable assertions

* #1321 - Expand BuildVerifier interface

Api change in #1321 is backwards compatible, but plugins written against 1.16.0 may not work with earlier versions.

## 1.15.8

* #1310 Filter mutations to Collections.unmodifiable*

* #1309 Replace fields in argLines imported from surefire config

* #1308 Bump maven vcs versions

The filtering for #1310 is off by default. To activate it add the filter string `+funmodifiablecollection`.

1309 adds a new maven property `parseSurefireArgLine`. This is set to true by default, but surefire argline parsing can now be disabled by setting it to false.

## 1.15.7

#1305 Coverage not recorded for code in packages name com.sun*

A filter intended to pickup legacy JDK classes in the "com.sun.*" package was missing a `'`, resulting in no code coverage being registered if the code under test happened to be in a package starting with "sun".

## 1.15.6

* #1295  temporarily remove dynamic call tracking

Invoke dynamic call tracking for static initializer code will be reintroduced when additional logic to suppress mutation filtering for delayed execution code has been implemented.

## 1.15.5

* #1292 Arg lines taken from surefire config do not have properties replaced

## 1.15.4

* #1288 - New extension point to allow custom coverage export formats

* #1289 - Parse argline configuration from surefire configuration

* #1274 Follow invoke dynamic calls when detecting static initializer only methods

Note, maven users who have previously needed to duplicate argline parameters between surefire and pitest's `jvmArgs` and `argline` parameters may need

to adjust their configuration when upgrading. Entries supplied to surefire will now automatically be added to pitest. 

## 1.15.3

* #1271 - Double check thread status before marking minion as dead

## 1.15.2

* #1268 - Filter Lombok NonNull checks

* #1267 - Expand test api to allow reporting of errors during test scanning 

#1267 will ensure that previously hidden errors encountered by the JUnit5 plugin will now be reported. This is a backwards compatible api change. It will have no effect until the JUnit5 plugin is updated to use the expanded api. The updated plugin will not be compatible with earlier versions of pitest.

## 1.15.1

* #1260 Upgrade to ASM 9.6 for Java 22 support

* #1261 Do not error on pitest history files < 1.15.0

## 1.15.0

* #1253 suppress coverage stats when history test reduction enabled

* #1252 add extrafeatures param for maven to allow features to be added on commandline without overwriting existing list

* #1251 expand history interfaces (breaking change)

* #1250 improve error message when failing to parse feature strings

* #1248 performance tweak - delay test class identification

* #1247 legacy code removal

As a result of the breaking api changes in #1251, the arcmutate kotlin

plugin should be upgraded to 1.1.0 when upgrading to pitest 1.15.0

## 1.14.4

#1246 Priotitise previous killing test when using history files

## 1.14.3

* #1239 Support comma separated excludedGroups (thanks @johnathana)

* #1243 Explicitly order classpath in history file to ensure consistency between runs

* #1245 Prevent confusing logging of dummy incremental analysis runs 

## 1.14.2

* #1221 - Unified percentage calculate (thanks @Vampire)

* #1218 - Thread safety for results collection when tests run in parallel (thanks @Vampire)

* #1225 - Prevent error when non archive files included on classpath

* #1229 - Mutate Iterables to emptyList

* #1227/1232 - Fix MethodMutator interface to depend on abstract types

## 1.14.1

* #1215 Apply coverage rewrites when aggregating reports

* #1219 Ensure try with resources filtering applied first (thanks @Vampire)

## 1.14.0

* #1213 Filter equivalent divide by -1 maths mutants

* #1212 Auto add junit-platform-launcher 

#1212 Largely resolves the issue of keeping the pitest-junit5-plugin version in sync with the junit5 version for maven users.

When used with 1.2.0 of the pitest-junit5-plugin, pitest will now automatically select a version of junit-platform-launcher which

is compatible with the version of junit5 used by the system under test.

Issues remain for gradle users who may still encounter api compatibilities when using 1.2.0 of the pitest-junit5-plugin. These can however now

be resolved by manually adding the correct version of junit-platform-launcher to the classpath.

It is hoped that a future version of the pitest gradle plugin will implement a fix similar to the pitest-maven solution.

## 1.13.2

* #638  Ensure % shows as 100 when all mutants killed (thanks @Vampire)

* #1197 Show start up info when logging set to VERBOSE_NO_SPINNER (thanks @Vampire)

* #1198 Logging improvements (thanks @Vampire)

* #1200 Warn if parallel test execution enabled during coverage collection (thanks @Vampire)

* #1199 Switch to System.nanoTime for test timings (thanks @Vampire) 

* #1207 Support for removal of class level annotations

## 1.13.1

* #1194 Support `**.` pattern in globs (thanks @Pfoerd)

## 1.13.0

* #1188 Allow mutators to produce multiple distinct mutations

* #1190 Provide test prioritiser to interceptors

* #1191 Enable mutation of annotations of methods and fields

## 1.12.0

* #1186 New extension points

## 1.11.7

* #1178 Commas in killing test name break csv export (thanks @Bonajo)

* #1177 Apply features in a consistent order  

* #1176 Upgrade to ASM 9.5

## 1.11.6

* #1171 Prevent double instantiation of features

* #1170 Update links to https (thanks @romani)

## 1.11.5

* #1167 Fix poor static analysis performance for large methods

* #1166 Update pitest web link to https (thanks @romani) 

## 1.11.4

* #1161 Prevent duplicate clinit when synthetic clinit present

* #1162 Auto add kotlin source dirs to maven when present

## 1.11.3

* #1159 Include only mutated classes in line coverage stats

## 1.11.2

* #1157 Report only target code lines

The line coverage stats reported on the console included code lines for the entire project, even when filters were applied. This

resulted in dramatically low coverage scores.

## 1.11.1

* #1156 Prevent synthetic lines being counted in coverage

## 1.11.0

* #1138 Do not mutate redundant fall through to default switch cases

* #1150 New extension points

Note that #1150 includes breaking interface changes which may require updates to third party plugins.

## 1.10.4

* #1134 Add `excludedRunners` parameter to command line interface and Ant

* #1131 Support surefire late property evaluation syntax for arglines

## 1.10.3

* #1128 Bug fix - lines with repeated debug entries double counted

## 1.10.2

* #1125 Bug fix - synthetic lambda methods not treated as code lines

## 1.10.1

* #1124 Fix bug introduced in 1.10.0 where bridge methods treated as valid lines of code

## 1.10.0 

* #1067 Improved Quarkus and Roboelectric support

* #1116 Option to exclude lines 0 and 1 of all classes

* #1118 Detect missing plugins

As a result of #1067 it is important that mutations are only created for a single class for each JVM. The `MutationGrouper` extension point has therefore been removed as this allowed this constraint to be violated. Any third party plugins using this extension are no longer supported.  

Releases also includes multiple changes to internal data structures. Any third party plugins relying on these structures may need to be updated.

1116 provides a coarse way to exclude auto-generated code not picked up by pitest's other filters. It is disabled by default as it may exclude code that is valid for mutation in some situations, but can be enabled by adding the feature string `+nofirstline`.

### 1.9.11

* #1105 Aggregator resolves wrong file for out of package kotlin files with same name

* #1111 Fix log typo (thanks @wangbo15)

### 1.9.10

* #1106 Do not replace Map.of with Collections.emptyMap

* #1109 Relax source file debug check

### 1.9.9

* #1098 Include case values in switch mutation descriptions

### 1.9.8

* #1094 Search for source files outside of package directories

Adds support for languages such as Kotlin where source files may not be within a directory structure which matches their package. Note that if the same filename occurs in more than one location, pitest cannot guarantee to resolve the correct file.

### 1.9.7

* #1091 - Escape class names in coverage XML

### 1.9.6

* #1092 - Upgrade to ASM 9.4

* #1091 - Properly escape coverage XML

* #1088 - Remove unused dependency distance param

* #1085 - Do not produce timestamp reports by default

Note that #1085 changes the default behaviour so reports are no longer written to timestamped directories by default. If you require this behaviour you will need to explicitly enable it.

### 1.9.5

* #1078 - Alter Config Updater interface

* #1079 - Avoid JBoss logging by default

1078 is a breaking interface change, but is included in a point release as it is believed there are

currently no external clients.

### 1.9.4

* #1063 - Improve filtering of equivalent return mutants

* #1064 - Remove legacy return val mutators and old defaults group

* #1066 - Expand static initializer filtering

* #1070 - Remove jacoco agent if present on argline

### 1.9.3

* #1052 - Support maven argLine property and single string argLines

* #1054 - Provide control over auto addition of -Djava.awt.headless=true

* #1055 - Option to autoset number of threads

* #1056 - Set timeout for socket communication

* #1058 - Set defaults for input and output encoding for programmatic api

1054 Moves support of auto adding headless=true (to prevent keyboard focus being stolen on Macs) into a feature.

It is enabled by default, but can be disabled by adding `-MACOS_FOCUS` to the features string.

1055 adds the option to guess the appropriate number of threads for the current machine by adding `+auto_threads`

the features string. This option is disabled by default and designed for local use. It is not recommended

for use on a CI server.

### 1.9.2

* #1050 - Check minions are alive to prevent process hangs

### 1.9.1

* #1047 Mitigation for intermittent process hangs

### 1.9.0 

* #1035 - Improve coverage memory consumption

* #1038 - Support Maven Site Plugin 3.12.0+ (thanks IOs)

* #1040 - Faster JUnit 5 coverage calculation

* #1040 - Remove `dependencyDistance` parameter

As a result of #1040 any external pitest test plugins (eg JUnit 5, TestNG, arcmutate accelerator) must be

updated to a compatible version (1.0.0) when upgrading.

History files from earlier releases are incompatible and should be deleted when upgrading.

    Older versions

### 1.8.1

* #637  - Support different input and output encodings (thanks @qxo)

* #705  - Allow + in file paths (thanks @ali-ghanbari)

* #903  - Filter mutants in singleton constructors

* #1025 - Rework String Switch filtering

* #1027 - Rework assert filtering and remove legacy filter mechanism

* #1030 - Filter enum switch junk mutations

### 1.8.0

* #1017 - Improve static infinite loop detection

* #1020 - Rework NFA matching library and try with resource filtering

* #1022 - Support quarkus test

### 1.7.6

* #1008 Upgrade ASM for initial Java 19 support

* #1016 Fail cleanly when no working test plugin supplied

* #1015 Move TestNG support out of main codebase

As a result of #1015 the [TestNG plugin](https://github.com/pitest/pitest-testng-plugin) must now be configured when using pitest in codebases tested by TestNG. In earlier releases support was included automatically.

### 1.7.5

* #625 / #983 Fixed report aggregation (thanks @therealryan and @aurelien-baudet)

* #985 Handle empty surefire excludes

* #993 Move rv mutators to external plugin

* #994 / #995 Filter equivalent boxed return true mutants in try blocks

* #968 / 997 Improve filtering of equivalent empty return mutants

* #999 / 1003 New parameter to locate root of multi module projects

As a result of #993, anyone wishing to use the research orientated RV operators must configure the [pitest-rv plugin](https://github.com/pitest/pitest-rv-plugin), however these mutators are not recommended for general use. 

### 1.7.4

* #965 - BigDecimal Mutator (thanks @MarcinNowak-codes)

* #750 - Support -DskipTests from command line (thanks @marwin1991)

### 1.7.3

* #952 Mutate map return to `emptyMap` instead of null

* #954 Allow mutators to be excluded

* #957 Filter equivalent mutations to Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE

### 1.7.2 

* #943 Change default mutators - replace negate conditional with remove conditional

* #946 Mutate stream returns to empty stream instead of null

### 1.7.1

* #932 Improve switch mutation descriptions

* #934 Configure console output verbosity

* #940 Hide internal features

* #942 Fix for 3rd party mutation operators not added to client classpath

* #939 Improve caching of bytecode retrieval

### 1.7.0

* #923 Internal interface changes

* #930 Pluggable mutators

Due to internal changes some third party plugins maybe incompatible with this release.

All history files should be deleted before upgrading.

The names of the remove conditionals mutators have changed slightly as a result of #930 and

may need to be updated in build scripts if explicitly activated.

### 1.6.9

* #922 Filter equivalent stream.empty mutants in flatMap calls

* #921 Guarantee order of mutation operators

* #919 Filter junk mutations in java records

### 1.6.8

* #917 - Add method to retrieve all mutator ids for pitclipse and other tooling

* #897 Fix description when replacing value with empty set

* #900 Support multiple test engines

* #822 Fix regression of NPE when reading classpath manifest

* #798 Fix regression of jvmArgs parameter support via maven

* #797 Fix regression of line coverage on console

As a result of #900 the `testPlugin` parameter is now defunct, but pitest will continue to accept it without error for this release. Pitest will use any test-engines supplied on the classpath, falling back to the built in JUnit4 support when other test engines cannot handle the class.

### 1.6.6

* #891 - Fix history performance

* #889 - Do not scan classpath for history when option not supplied

* #513 - Sort mutators in html report (thanks @ThLeu)

* #553 - Classic mutators from literature (thanls @LaurentTho3)

* #528 - Added skipFailingTests option from maven plugin (thanks @nicerloop)

### 1.4.3

* #510 - Compute mutation test matrix (thanks @nrainer)

* #519 - Java 11 support

### 1.4.2

* #500 - Support for large classpaths with new `useClasspathJar` option (thanks @jqhan)

### 1.4.1

* #446 - Ignore empty directories when aggregating report (thanks @maxgabut)

* #379 - Remove support for mutating static initializers

* #432 - Add export plugin functionality into pitest

* #427 - Better return values mutators

* #429 - Simplify test api

428 changes the existing behaviour of the excludedClasses filter. Previously this excluded classes from both being mutated and run as tests which may require changes for some people when upgrading.

As a result of 429 TestNG tests will no longer be automatically detected - the new `testPlugin` parameter must be explicitly set to "testng".

### 1.2.5

* #407 - SCM goal cannot be run from within module (thanks @sbuisson)

* #256 - Inline style violate Content Security Policy (thanks @kiftio)

* #353 - Improved static initializer code detection

* #364 - Filter infinite loops via static analysis

* #365 - Configuration system for plugins

(Note #347 will **not** detect `javax.annotaion.Generated` as it has only source retention.) 

### 1.2.0

* #318 - Separate main process code from code sharing client classpath

* #295 - Ignore abstract TestNG tests

* #215 - Automatic selection of target classes for maven

* #314 - Do not fail for maven modules without tests or code

* #306 - Do not fail when only interfaces are in changeset

* #325 - Anonymous class in Spock test causing error

* #334 - Compatibility with recent TestNG releases

* #335 - Incorrect coverage with powermock

Note - as of this release the maven plugin will automatically determine which classes to mutate instead of assuming that the package names match the group id.

### 1.1.11

* #269 - Not possible to break build on 1 mutant

* #271 - Include method descriptor in line coverage

* #170 - Exclusion by JUnit runner

This release also changes a number of internal implementation details, some of which may be of interest/importance to those maintaining tools that

integrate with PIT.

Mutations are now scoped internally as described in [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pitusers/E0-3QZuMYjE](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pitusers/E0-3QZuMYjE)

A new class (org.pitest.mutationtest.tooling.EntryPoint) has been introduced that removes some of the duplication that existed in the various ways of launching mutation analysis. 

### 0.30

* Support for parametrized [Spock](http://code.google.com/p/spock/) tests

Detection of Groovy code has not yet been tested with Groovy 2 which may generate substantially different

byte code to earlier versions.

### 0.27
