## 0.3.4
### Deprecated APIs
* Many classes/predicates/modules with upper-case acronyms in their name have been renamed to follow our style-guide.
The old name still exists as a deprecated alias.
* The utility files previously in the `semmle.code.java.security.performance` package have been moved to the `semmle.code.java.security.regexp` package.
The previous files still exist as deprecated aliases.
### New Features
* Added a new predicate, `requiresPermissions`, in the `AndroidComponentXmlElement` and `AndroidApplicationXmlElement` classes to detect if the element has explicitly set a value for its `android:permission` attribute.
* Added a new predicate, `hasAnIntentFilterElement`, in the `AndroidComponentXmlElement` class to detect if a component contains an intent filter element.
* Added a new predicate, `hasExportedAttribute`, in the `AndroidComponentXmlElement` class to detect if a component has an `android:exported` attribute.
* Added a new class, `AndroidCategoryXmlElement`, to represent a category element in an Android manifest file.
* Added a new predicate, `getACategoryElement`, in the `AndroidIntentFilterXmlElement` class to get a category element of an intent filter.
* Added a new predicate, `isInBuildDirectory`, in the `AndroidManifestXmlFile` class. This predicate detects if the manifest file is located in a build directory.
* Added a new predicate, `isDebuggable`, in the `AndroidApplicationXmlElement` class. This predicate detects if the application element has its `android:debuggable` attribute enabled.
### Minor Analysis Improvements
* Added new flow steps for the classes `java.nio.file.Path` and `java.nio.file.Paths`.
* The class `AndroidFragment` now also models the Android Jetpack version of the `Fragment` class (`androidx.fragment.app.Fragment`).
* Java 19 builds can now be extracted. There are no non-preview new language features in this release, so the only user-visible change is that the CodeQL extractor will now correctly trace compilations using the JDK 19 release of `javac`.
* Classes and methods that are seen with several different paths during the extraction process (for example, packaged into different JAR files) now report an arbitrarily selected location via their `getLocation` and `hasLocationInfo` predicates, rather than reporting all of them. This may lead to reduced alert duplication.
* The query `java/hardcoded-credential-api-call` now recognises methods that consume usernames, passwords and keys from the JSch, Ganymed, Apache SSHD, sshj, Trilead SSH-2, Apache FTPClient and MongoDB projects.
