Rat 0.16.1
==========
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!
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.
Rat 0.16
========
Apart from dependency updates and multiple bugfixes, this release brings the ability to use SPDX license identifiers and enhances the .gitignore-exclusion filterung during RAT runs.
Furthermore new CLI options were added and new file types can be used by default. This release makes RAT a fully Maven3-compatible plugin and removes deprecated Maven2 completely.
Thanks to all new contributors for improving RAT!
New features:
o RAT-338: Update minimal build Maven version to 3.2.5 and maven dependencies to 3.9.6. Remove pre-JDK8 code constructs and minor refactorings. Thanks to Tamás Cservenák.
o RAT-335: Enhance .gitignore handling; support multiple .gitignore files and allow a more complete parsing of Git's ignore files. Thanks to Niels Basjes.
o RAT-322: Add configuration option to scan hidden directories: --scan-hidden-directories on the command line and scanHiddenDirectories as a Maven plugin parameter. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Onofré.
o RAT-320: Add new command line option -o/--output to write RAT's output to a file. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Onofré.
o RAT-329: Add markdown (MD) and yaml (YML/YAML) as a recognized extension for file and license processing. Thanks to Claude Warren.
o RAT-316: Add default exclusion of MANIFEST.MF as it must not contain comment lines to include a license.
o RAT-321: Allow text-based XML configuration of RAT. Thanks to Claude Warren.
Fixed Bugs:
o RAT-326: Fix existing javadoc build errors and add javadoc generation to existing GithubActions to not introduce build errors via merge requests.

o RAT-311: Update commons-compress to 1.24.0 in order to circumvent CVE-2023-42503.
o RAT-251: Added SPDX processing for default licenses. Thanks to Claude Warren.
o RAT-315: Fix warnings when using RAT with newer Maven versions as methods from Maven v2 are deprecated. Minimum version of required Maven changed to 3.2.5. Thanks to Guillaume Nodet.
o RAT-317: Change log output level of SCM ignore parser from info to debug in order to produce less log output in RAT runs. Thanks to Gary Gregory.
o RAT-314: Add default recursive exclusion for maven-induced build artifacts in folder .mvn. Thanks to François Guillot.
o RAT-312: Remove Travis build as it is unreliable. Builds with ASF Jenkins and Github Actions remain as before.

Rat 0.12
========
* We now require Maven 3.0.5+ to build Rat, but as before we only require
Maven 2.2.1+ if you want to use Rat in your own Maven projects.
* We've integrated Rat into the ASF Jenkins to ensure continuous builds with various JDK versions.
* Issues resolved (see https://issues.apache.org/jira):
Bug
* [RAT-158] - Fix SAX-Parser warning by explicitly excluding xerces in Doxia 1.2.
(thanks to Hervé Boutemy)
* [RAT-173] - Allow complete skip of RAT plugin with rat.skip property
(thanks to Chris Burroughs)
* [RAT-174] - CDDL1License still very slow, replace Pattern matching with simple String comparison
(thanks to Chris Burroughs)
* [RAT-175] - SourceCodeManagementSystems.hasIgnoreFile() should return boolean
* [RAT-177] - final arrays should be private
* [RAT-188] - Fix problems with AnimalSniffer-plugin when running in GUMP with Java 8.
Workaround for https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANIMALSNIFFER-45
(thanks to Mark Thomas)
* [RAT-160] - Ignore build.log that is created by maven-invoker-plugin runs. Temporary fix until invoker plugin improves
configurability of that file.
(thanks to Christopher Tubbs)
* [RAT-179] - Maven plugin and Ant task do not support adding extra approved licenses.
* [RAT-180] - Generify and beautify texts in RAT report.
New features
* [RAT-171] - Maven plugin allows scanning of source code management ignore files. Their contents is added as exclusion to be ignored during RAT runs.
Supported source code management systems are: SVN, Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and CVS.
An ignore-file's contents is taken as it is without parsing or validating.
Improvement
* [RAT-196] - Minor refactoring in pom.xml.
(thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise)
* [RAT-194] - Upgrade to Doxia 1.6 if called directly, does not affect problems reported in RAT-158. Minor improvements.

Furthermore BinaryGuesser falls back to UTF-8 encoding in case the encoding given via system property (-Dfile.encoding) was not found.
* [RAT-202] - Report layout differs between successful RAT checks and existence of unapproved files.
* [RAT-203] - Using 'license' in README, source code, javadoc, comments and site instead of 'licence'; improve terminology to not confuse RAT consumers.
* [RAT-204] - Unify resource handling in code and tests, make sure the resources are properly closed. Apply minor refactorings.
* [RAT-213] - Upgrade to commons-collections 3.2.2.
(thanks to Glenn Lewis)
