0.8.2

Minor Analysis Improvements

• Java classes MethodAccess, LValue and RValue were renamed to MethodCall, VarWrite and VarRead respectively, along with related predicates and class names. The old names remain usable for the time being but are deprecated and should be replaced.

• New class NewClassExpr was added to represent specifically an explicit new ClassName(...) invocation, in contrast to ClassInstanceExpr which also includes expressions that implicitly instantiate classes, such as defining a lambda or taking a method reference.

• Added up to date models related to Spring Framework 6's org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity.

• Added models for the following packages:

  • com.alibaba.fastjson2
  • javax.management
  • org.apache.http.client.utils
