------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/175?closed=1)
* FIXED: Fixed typo
    (PR [#2697](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2697), by [@hfreeb](https://github.com/hfreeb))


Version 3.16.0
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/174?closed=1)

There are two breaking changes within this release. 
If you would like assistance with upgrading, get in touch.

* FIXED: Edits to the value of a string value are now correctly handled for use with Lexical Preservation 
    (PR [#2646](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2646), by [@lemoncurry](https://github.com/lemoncurry))
* FIXED: Edits to the value of other literal values also now handled 
    (PR [#2679](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2679), by [@MysterAitch](https://github.com/MysterAitch))
* BREAKING CHANGE: Tokens relating to literal values now have the category of `JavaToken.Category.LITERAL` (previously `JavaToken.Category.KEYWORD`) 
    (PR [#2679](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2679), by [@MysterAitch](https://github.com/MysterAitch))
* FIXED: Add symbol solver support for variadic parameters given zero or more than one argument, and when an array is given
    (PR [#2675](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2675), by [@hfreeb](https://github.com/hfreeb))
* CHANGED: Added the keyword `synchronized` to `JavaParserFacade#get`. This is specifically in response to #2668 - JavaParser is not otherwise threadsafe.  
    (PR [#2694](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2694), by [@MysterAitch](https://github.com/MysterAitch))
* BREAKING CHANGE: The following methods now return `Optional<>` _(as do all classes which implement/extend them)_:
    `ResolvedClassDeclaration#getSuperClass()`, 
    `ResolvedReferenceType#getTypeDeclaration()`.  
    _Note that Converting to use optional should be as simple as adding `.get()`, given that any cases where returning `Optional.empty()` causes problems would  have also previously triggered a `NullPointerException`. 
    You might also use `.orElseThrow()`._  
    (PR [#2693](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2693), by [@MysterAitch](https://github.com/MysterAitch))
* CHANGED: Added some temporary logic to allow tests to use slightly different expected results based on the version of java used _(e.g. `java.lang.Object.registerNatives()` removed in JDK14)_  
    (PR [#2637](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2637), by [@EFregnan](https://github.com/EFregnan))
* FIXED: Fix resolving overloaded methods of external types  
    (PR [#2687](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2687), by [@maartenc](https://github.com/maartenc))
* FIXED: Fix resolving method references on expressions other than ReferenceType::methodname  
    (PR [#2674](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2674), by [@maartenc](https://github.com/maartenc))



Version 3.15.22
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/173?closed=1)
* REVERT: Rollback of upgrade to `ph-javacc-maven-plugin` from v4.1.3 to v4.1.2 
    _(this undoes the transitive dependency update `parser-generator-cc` from v1.1.2 to v1.1.1, which appears to have isuse with handling tokens longer than the buffer length)_  
    ([#2646](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2646))
* ADDED: Support resolving an enum's `valueOf` method
    ([#2652](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2652))
* FIXED: Fixed build warning -- bnd-maven-plugin flagging missing id 
    ([#2605](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2605))
* FIXED: Fixed cases where nodes added after a trailing comment would incorrectly be added to the same line (thus be part of the comment)
    ([#2646](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2646))
* FIXED: Fixed resolving overloaded static method references (e.g. `String::valueOf` in a stream map/filter)
    ([#2662](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2662))


Version 3.15.21
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/172?closed=1)

* DEPRECATED: Deprecated and documented `JarTypeSolver#getJarTypeSolver(String)`, with a view to later removal.
    ([#2598](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2598))
    ([#2622](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2622))
* FIXED: Fix issue #2552 : UnsupportedOperationException caused by resolving inner annotation
    ([#2553](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2553))
* FIXED: Parents of `NodeList`s now correctly retain their parent when a child is replaced 
    ([#2594](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2594))
* FIXED: Fix JavaParserClassDeclaration canBeAssignedTo() to not cause a recursion when a node is its own parent (e.g. `java.lang.Object`)
    ([#2608](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2608))
* FIXED: Fix replacing an expression preceded by a comment (`LexicalPreservation` would previously throw an `UnsupportedOperation`)
    ([#2611](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2611))
* FIXED: The collection strategies now correctly take into account the parser configuration that is passed in via the constructor.
    ([#2619](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/2619))

Version 3.14.12
------------------
- BREAKING: `NodeWithConstructors` has been merged into `NodeWithMembers`,

you can use `NodeWithMembers` instead.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/148?closed=1)

Version 3.14.11
------------------
- BREAKING: the pseudo-language levels have been turned into constants with the same name in the same place.

Version 3.14.10 (buggy!)
------------------
- BREAKING: Java 13: `break` no longer has an expression, this was part of a language preview in Java 12
and has been removed in Java 13.
- BREAKING: Java 13: `YieldStatement` and the keyword `yield` have been added.
This means the token numbers have changed, and this affects serialization.
If you rely on serialized tokens, be sure to deserialize with your current version and serialize with this version.
- Java 13: `TextBlockLiteralExpr` has been added.
- This release is broken because no identifier called `yield` can be used.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/133?closed=1)

Version 3.13.6
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/132?closed=1)

Version 3.13.5
------------------
* "BREAKING": `ReferenceType.getDirectAncestors()` no longer returns `java.lang.Object` when called on a `ReferenceType` of `java.lang.Object`.
This remedies infinite recursions in certain edge cases. If you relied on the old behavior, you have to add a `ReferenceType` instance of `java.lang.Object`
to the List returned by `ReferenceType.getDirectAncestors()` yourself.

Version 3.13.3
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/129?closed=1)

Version 3.13.2
------------------
* Version 3.13.0 and 3.13.1 contain rather bad bugs that have been fixed here.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/128?closed=1)

Version 3.13.1 (buggy!)
------------------
* Slightly breaking: most parameters to Log methods now take consumers to avoid evaluating them when not necessary. 

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/127?closed=1)

Version 3.13.0 (buggy!)
------------------
* "BREAKING": The static `JavaParser.parse...` methods have moved to `StaticJavaParser.parse...`!

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/126?closed=1)

Version 3.12.0
------------------
* "BREAKING": all deprecated code was removed.
If you don't know what to do, try version 3.11.0 and read the Javadoc for the deprecated methods.
It tells you what to use instead.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/124?closed=1)

Version 3.11.0
------------------
* BREAKING: `SwitchEntryStmt` is now `SwitchEntry`, because it was never a statement.
* BREAKING: a case in a switch can now have multiple labels,
so `SwitchEntry` no longer has an `Expression label`,
but a `NodeList<Expression> label`.
* This completes *parsing* support for Java 12.
Symbol resolution is still to be done.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/123?closed=1)

Version 3.10.2
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/122?closed=1)

Version 3.10.1
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/121?closed=1)

Version 3.10.0
------------------
* slightly breaking: besides `break;` and `break [label];` there is now `break [expression];` like
`break 1+2;` or `break "bye!";` . That means that `BreakStmt` no longer has a `label`,
it has a `value` which is of type `Expression`.
This is to prepare for Java 12 switch expressions.
You can find the details in the Javadoc.

Version 3.9.1
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/119?closed=1)

Version 3.9.0
------------------
* MAJOR BREAKAGE: modifiers (like public, static, transient) used to be a special case:
they were enums stored in an EnumSet.
This meant they were not true `Node`s, had to be treated in a special way, and missed some information.
This has now been corrected in [PR 1975](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1975). 

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/118?closed=1)

Version 3.7.1
------------------
* slightly breaking: the enum constants in JsonToken are now capitalized.
* slightly breaking: [some obscure methods in the symbol solver changed](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1922) 

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/115?closed=1)

Version 3.7.0
------------------
* BREAKING: `ForeachStmt` is now correctly capitalized: `ForEachStmt`
* BREAKING: when using modules, everything that was called `...Statement` is now correctly called `...Directive`

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/112?closed=1)

Version 3.6.27
------------------
* The Json serialization now serializes more fields,
which *should* not impact existing code.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/111?closed=1)

Version 3.6.26
------------------
* BREAKING: Node.getData now throws an exception if the data was not set before.
This can be rewritten by checking with Node.containsData before doing getData.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/110?closed=1)

It contains a JSON serializer, and might get more serializers in the future.

[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/100?closed=1)

Version 3.6.16
------------------
* BREAKING: some parts of the module syntax used `Type` where they should have used `Name`.
This is now fixed, but your code may need to be adapted if you are parsing modules.

[Here's a little article about it](https://matozoid.github.io/2017/04/11/enable-java-9-support.html)

Version 3.5.14
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/77?closed=1)
* Java 10's `var` can now be parsed and will be turned into a `VarType` node.
It can not be resolved yet.
* `NodeList` now has a pretty complete set of `...First` and `...Last` methods.
Thanks stephenramthun !

Version 3.5.13
------------------

* Thanks to un0btanium for fixing the readme file!

Version 3.5.11
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/74?closed=1)
* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.AND` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_AND`.
* BREAKING: `AssignExpr.Operator.OR` is now `AssignExpr.Operator.BINARY_OR`.
* `getPrimaryTypeName` and `getPrimaryType` give access to the type that has the same name as the file it came from.
* Enums will now get their constants aligned vertically if there are more than five.
* You can now convert between `AssignExpr.Operator` and `AssignExpr.Operator` if you like.

Version 3.5.10
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/73?closed=1)
* JavaSymbolSolver is now in the same project as JavaParser, meaning they get released together from now on.
* LexicalPreservingPrinter has had a big speed optimization.

Version 3.5.9
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/72?closed=1)
* BREAKING: the very confusing constructor `NodeList(Node)` (which sets the parent) was removed.
* To avoid using the int type for token kinds, use the new `JavaToken.Kind` enum.
It can convert to and from the int kind. 

Version 3.5.8
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/71?closed=1)
* the module name is now set to com.github.javaparser.core

Version 3.5.5
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/68?closed=1)

Version 3.5.3
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/66?closed=1)
* Unicode escapes (`\u1234`) are now retained in the AST,
    but they are now only allowed in comments, string and character literals, and identifiers. 
* BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.2
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/65?closed=1)
* The pretty printer now cleans up Javadoc comments.
* BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.1
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/64?closed=1)
* BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.0
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/63?closed=1)
* A functional visitor API has been added. See [PR 1195](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1195) for now.
* Build is working again on Windows thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
* The pretty printer now has an option to order imports, also thanks to Leonardo Herrera.
* Receiver parameters are now well-supported instead of being a hack. See [issue 1194](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/pull/1194) for a description.
* BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.4.4
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/62?closed=1)
* BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.4.3
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/61?closed=1)
* BETA: we're still doing work to integrate parts of [Java Symbol Solver](https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver) to simplify its API.
* `VisitorMap` is joined by `VisitorSet` and `VisitorList`, 
for when you want to store `Node`s in collection but don't want its default equals/hascode behaviour

Version 3.4.2
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/60?closed=1)
* BETA: we're doing work to integrate parts of [Java Symbol Solver](https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver) to simplify its API.
* JDK 9 will compile JavaParser now.
* [An official sample Maven setup](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser-maven-sample) was added.

Version 3.4.1
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/59?closed=1)
* Two visitors were added: `NoCommentEqualsVisitor` and `NoCommentHashCodeVisitor` - 
as the name implies you can use these to compare nodes without considering comments.
Thanks Ryan Beckett!
* `isSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid `instanceof`.
* `asSomeType()` methods have been added for many types that help avoid casting to that type.
* `ifSomeType()` methods have been added for many types, giving a nice functional way of doing if-is-type-then-cast-to-type-then-use.
* The `LexicalPreservingPrinter` had its API changed a little: setup and printing are now separate things,
so you don't have to drag an instance of `LexicalPreservingPrinter` through your code anymore.  
* `traverseScope` was added to all nodes with a scope, so you can travel through the scope without tripping over (non-)optionality.


Version 3.4.0
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/58?closed=1)
* BREAKING: We missed a Java 9 feature which is now on board: try with resources can now refer to a resource declared outside of the statement.
This means that the node type you get for those resources is now `Expression` instead of `VariableDeclarationExpr`.
For Java 8 and below you can simply cast it to `VariableDeclarationExpr` again.
See also the Javadoc for `TryStmt`.
* You can now inspect the AST by exporting it to XML, JSON, YAML, or a Graphviz's dot diagram, thanks to Ryan Beckett!
* `GenericVisitorWithDefaults` and `VoidVisitorWithDefaults` were added which function like empty visitors, 
but all the visit methods call a default method by default.
* Annotation support was cleaned up, adding some obscure locations where you can have annotations.
* `EnumDeclaration` regained its constructor builder methods. They were accidentally lost around 3.2.2.
* `ArrayType` now has an `origin` field which indicates in which position the array brackets were found.

Version 3.3.5
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/57?closed=1)

Version 3.3.4
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/56?closed=1)
* `SourceZip` has been added.
Use it to read source code from jars or zip files.
Thank you @ryan-beckett !
* JavaCC was upgraded to 7.0.2
* A new option for the pretty printer was added.
You can now wrap-and-column-align parameters of method calls.
Thank you @tarilabs !

Version 3.3.3
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/55?closed=1)
* Parsing a partial java file (like an expression or statement) no longer ignores trailing code.
* New memory saving option: turn off token list.

Version 3.3.2
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/54?closed=1)
* `VisitorMap` lets you override hashcode/equals for nodes when used as a key for a map.

Version 3.3.1
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/53?closed=1)
* The token list is now mutable - see methods on `JavaToken`.
This caused mild breakage - some fields have become `Optional`.

Version 3.3.0
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/52?closed=1)
* Breaking: `TryStmt::tryBlock` and `EnclosedExpr::inner` were optional for no good reason. Now they are required.
* You can now ask a `JavaToken` for its category, which is useful for examining the token list or doing syntax highlighting or so.
* `enum` and `strictfp` can now be used as identifiers on lower Java versions.

Version 3.2.12
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/51?closed=1)

Version 3.2.11
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/50?closed=1)
* We're up to date with the latest Java 9 module system again.

Version 3.2.10
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/49?closed=1)
* `Node.replace(old, new)` was added, including property-specific `X.replaceY(newY)` methods

Version 3.2.9
------------------
Scrapped due to release problem.

Version 3.2.8
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/48?closed=1)
* Added `isInnerClass()` that checks if a `ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration` is an inner class (note: this is different from a nested class!)
* @ryan-beckett contributed a huge [Eclipse setup guide](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/wiki/Eclipse-Project-Setup-Guide)

Version 3.2.7
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/47?closed=1)
* We now recover from some parse errors! [Here is an article](https://matozoid.github.io/2017/06/11/parse-error-recovery.html)

Version 3.2.6
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/46?closed=1)
* `EmptyMemberDeclaration` is gone! 
It was deprecated for a while because it was in the AST, but doesn't have any meaning in a Java program. 
`EmptyStmt` was also deprecated, but that has been reverted. 
This node *does* have meaning.

Version 3.2.5
------------------
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/45?closed=1)
* `NodeWithCondition` was added on all nodes containing a condition.
* Lots of work on improving lexical preservation.
* If a file was parsed from a file system, you can now get path information etc. from `CompilationUnit`
* API BREAKING: every node now points to its start and end token.
Some of the API has started returning `TokenRange` instead of `Range` - you can call `toRange` to get the old object type.
We may still change the naming of some of this code in the following month.

Version 3.2.4
------------------
New style changelog, no more issue numbers, but a link: 
[issues resolved](https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser/milestone/44?closed=1)
and any notable changes:
* the new method `Node.removeForced()` by removing it, or removing the first parent that is optional.
This is different from `Node.remove()`, `remove()` only tries to remove the node from the parent and fails if it can't.
* `FieldAccessExpr.scope` is now a required property.
You might find some `get()`s in your code that are no longer necessary.
* `ReferenceType` no longer has a type parameter, so every `ReferenceType<?>` can be replaced by `ReferenceType` now.

Version 3.2.3
------------------
* 907 906 905 903 911 910 909 908 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.0-beta.2
------------------
This version is a beta because `TreeStructureVisitor` is not in its definite state yet.

* 762 761 772 merge `javaparser-metamodel` and `javaparser-generator-utils` into `javaparser-core`.
* 766 the `ModifierVisitor` is now created by a code generator. Its behaviour has been made logical, and may give different results than before.
* 755 `ConstructorDeclaration` and `MethodDeclaration` now share a parent: `CallableDeclaration`
* 687 759 773 769 768 767 765 759 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.0-beta.1
------------------
This version is a beta because there are a lot of new features that may still change.

This version needs a minor version increase because of a backwards compatability issue: 
* 719 `getJavadoc`, `getJavadocComment` and `getComment` could return null. Our promise was to return `Optional`, so that is what they do now.

New:
* 658 718 736 737 we have created a metamodel.
It gives information about the structure of the various AST nodes, as if you are introspecting them.
You can find it in `javaparser-metamodel`, the main class is `JavaParserMetaModel`
* 353 365 visitors are no longer hand made, they are now generated from the metamodel. This should make them 100% reliable.
Affected visitors are: `GenericVisitorAdapter`, `EqualsVisitor`, `VoidVisitorAdapter`, `VoidVisitor`, `GenericVisitor`, `HashCodeVisitor`, `CloneVisitor`.

If you want to generate your own visitors, you can use the `VisitorGenerator` class from `javaparser-core-generators`

If you want to reuse the code generation utilities, look at module `javaparser-generator-utils` - there is a very useful `SourceRoot` class in there that takes away a lot of file management troubles.
* 538 735 `TreeStructureVisitor` has been added, which should be considered beta.
* 220 733 717 749 745 750 743 748 666 732 746 734 733 smaller improvements and fixes
