+#### Java Symbol Table
+
+*   A [bug in symbol table](https://github.com/pmd/pmd/pull/549/commits/0958621ca884a8002012fc7738308c8dfc24b97c) prevented
+    the symbol table analysis to properly match primitive arrays types. The issue [affected the `java-unsedcode/UnusedPrivateMethod`](https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/521)
+    rule, but other rules may now produce improved results as consequence of this fix.
