Now that change notes are per-package, new change notes should be created in the `change-notes` folder under the affected pack (e.g., `cpp/ql/src/change-notes` for C++ query change notes. I've moved all of the change note files that were added before we started publishing them in packs to an `old-change-notes` directory under each language, to reduce the temptation to add new change notes there. I'm working on a document to describe how and when to create change notes for packs separately.

* The `SimpleRangeAnalysis` library has gained support for several language
|
|
constructs it did not support previously. These improvements primarily affect
|
|
the queries `cpp/constant-comparison`, `cpp/comparison-with-wider-type`, and
|
|
`cpp/integer-multiplication-cast-to-long`. The newly supported language
|
|
features are:
|
|
* Multiplication of unsigned numbers.
|
|
* Multiplication by a constant.
|
|
* Reference-typed function parameters.
|
|
* Comparing a variable not equal to an endpoint of its range, thus narrowing the range by one.
|
|
* Using `if (x)` or `if (!x)` or similar to test for equality to zero.
|
|
* The `SimpleRangeAnalysis` library can now be extended with custom rules. See
|
|
examples in
|
|
`cpp/ql/src/experimental/semmle/code/cpp/rangeanalysis/extensions/`.
