0.8.2

New Features

• Added support for merging two PathGraphs via disjoint union to allow results from multiple data flow computations in a single path-problem query.

Major Analysis Improvements

• The main data flow and taint tracking APIs have been changed. The old APIs remain in place for now and translate to the new through a backwards-compatible wrapper. If multiple configurations are in scope simultaneously, then this may affect results slightly. The new API is quite similar to the old, but makes use of a configuration module instead of a configuration class.

Minor Analysis Improvements

• Deleted the deprecated getPath and getFolder predicates from the XmlFile class.
