v1.1.0

👀 Features

• Type Assigner BodyInterceptor added to enable typing of Locals with currently an unknown type - affects Locals that are coming from Bytecodefrontend/StackLocals
• added a CacheStrategy for Views (enabling MutableViews) or reduced Memory consumption
• Callgraph: added implicit edges for static initializer (clinit) into the call graph generation. Implicit edges to clinit methods are added if a static field is accessed, a constructor is called, a static method is called, or for each entry method of the call graph algorithm. #459
• Callgraph: The concrete implemented method is searched for a dispatch and added to the call graph. If a superclass implements the method then it will create an edge to the method of the superclass instead of the class which does not contain the implemented method. #499
• Callgraph: Default methods of Interfaces are considered as concrete dispatch if no superclass implements the method. #499

🔀 Refactorings/API Changes

• integrate TypeHierarchy into the CallGraph Algorithms so the user does not have to give the view and the typehierarchy which is stored in the view & adapt documentation
• CreateOnDemandView and CreateFullView on Project are replaced by createView
• nodes() is renamed to getNodes() in Stmtgraph

👷 Fixes

• no FatJar release anymore
• Jimple Parser can handle more than ASCII files
• reuse (Java)Local originating from Bytecodefrontend
• fix null entries in Body.getLocals() originating from Bytecodefrontend
• The memory needed to perform the RTA call graph algorithm is cleared after the algorithm.
• The RTA algorithm searches for "new" statements instead of constructor calls, so super class constructor calls are not considered as instantiated #497
• Removed dispatches to covariant methods, since the compiler builds bridge methods which call the covariant method. Bridge methods are generated on the sourcecode and bytecode frontend #497

🛠️ Dependency Updates

• Upgrade to ASM 9.5 #603
• Upgrade to Slf4j 2.0.5
• Upgrade to Slf4j simple 2.0.5
• Upgrade to Guava 31.1-jre
• Upgrade to Apache commons 3.12
• Upgrade to Apache commons io 2.11
• Upgrade to Wala 1.5.9 (last version supported for Java 8)
• All Wala transitive dependencies are fixed to a state that support Java 8
