JavaPoet 1.11.1 (2018-05-16)

• Fix: JavaPoet 1.11 had a regression where TypeName.get() would throw on error types, masking other errors in an annotation processing round. This is fixed with a test to prevent future regressions!

JavaPoet 1.11.0 (2018-04-29)

• New: Support TYPE_USE annotations on each enclosing ClassName.
• New: Work around a compiler bug in TypeName.get(TypeElement). There was a problem getting an element's kind when building from source ABIs.

• JavaPoet now requires Java 8 or newer.
• New: $Z as an optional newline (zero-width space) if a line may exceed 100 chars.
• New: CodeBlock.join() and CodeBlock.joining() let you join codeblocks by delimiters.

• New: addStatement(CodeBlock) overloads for CodeBlock and MethodSpec.
• Fix: Include annotations when emitting type variables.
• Fix: Use the right imports for annotated type parameters.
• Fix: Don't incorrectly escape classnames that start with $.

JavaPoet 1.9.0 (2017-05-13)

• Fix: Don't emit incorrect code when the declared type's signature references another type with the same simple name.
• Fix: Support anonymous inner classes in ClassName.get().
• New: MethodSpec.Builder.addNamedCode() and TypeSpec.anonymousClassBuilder(CodeBlock).

JavaPoet 1.8.0 (2016-11-09)

• New: Basic support for line wrapping. Use $W to insert a Wrappable Whitespace character. It'll emit either a single space or a newline with appropriate indentation.

• New: Named arguments in CodeBlock. These are intended to make larger code snippets easier to read:

   Map<String, Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
   map.put("count", 3);
   map.put("greeting", "Hello, ");
   map.put("system", System.class);
  
   String template = ""
       + "for (int i = 0; i < $count:L; i++) {\n"
       + "  $system:T.out.println($greeting:S + list.get(i));\n"
       + "}\n";
  
   CodeBlock.Builder builder = CodeBlock.builder();
   builder.addNamed(template, map);
  

• New: addJavadoc(CodeBlock) overloads for TypeSpec, MethodSpec, and FieldSpec.

• New: MethodSpec.addComment() makes it easy to add a // single-line comment.

• New: ClassName.getReflectionName() returns a string like java.util.Map$Entry.

• Fix: Always write UTF-8. Previously JavaPoet would use the system default charset which was potentially inconsistent across environments.

• Fix: Permit (constant) fields to be defined in annotation types.

JavaPoet 1.7.0 (2016-04-26)

• New: Support parameterized types that enclose other types, like Outer<String>.Inner.
• New: TypeName.isBoxedPrimitive().

JavaPoet 1.6.1 (2016-03-21)

• Fix: Double quotes and backslashes in string literals were not properly quoted in 1.6.0. This is now fixed.

JavaPoet 1.6.0 (2016-03-19)

• New: Revive CodeBlock.of(), a handy factory method for building code blocks.
• New: Add TypeSpec factory methods that take a ClassName.
• New: TypeName.annotated() adds an annotation to a type.
• New: TypeVariableName.withBounds() adds bounds to a type variable.
• New: TypeSpec.Builder.addInitializerBlock() adds an instance initializer.
• Fix: Make TypeSpec.Kind enum public. This can be used to check if a TypeSpec is a class, interface, enum, or annotation.
• Fix: Don’t break import resolution on annotated types.
• Fix: Forbid unexpected modifiers like private on annotation members.
• Fix: Deduplicate exceptions in MethodSpec.Builder.
• Fix: Treat ErrorType like a regular DeclaredType in TypeName.get(). This should make it easier to write annotation processors.

JavaPoet 1.5.1 (2016-01-10)

• Fix: Annotated TypeName instances are only equal if their annotations are equal.

JavaPoet 1.5.0 (2016-01-10)

• New: import static! See JavaFile.Builder.addStaticImport() variants.
• New: Overload NameAllocator.newName(String) for creating a one-off name without a tag.
• Fix: AnnotationSpec escapes character literals properly.
• Fix: Don't stack overflow when TypeVariableName is part of ParameterizedTypeName.
• Fix: Reporting not used indexed arguments in like add("$1S", "a", "b").
• Fix: Prevent import of types located in the default package, i.e. have no package name.

JavaPoet 1.4.0 (2015-11-13)

• New: AnnotationSpec.get(Annotation).
• New: Type annotations! TypeName.annotated() can attach annotations like @Nullable directly to types. This works for both top-level types and type parameters as in List<@Nullable String>.
• New: equals() and hashCode() on AnnotationSpec, CodeBlock, FieldSpec, JavaFile, MethodSpec, ParameterSpec, TypeName, and TypeSpec.
• New: NameAllocator.clone() to refine a NameAllocator for use in an inner scope code block.
• Fix: Don't stack overflow when TypeVariableName gets a self-referential type.
• Fix: Better handling of name collisions on imports. Previously JavaPoet did the wrong thing when a referenced type and a nested types had the same name.

JavaPoet 1.3.0 (2015-09-20)

• New: NameAllocator API makes it easy to declare non-conflicting names.
• New: Support annotations on enum values.
• Fix: Avoid infinite recursion in TypeName.get(TypeMirror).

• Fix: Better messages for parameter indexing errors.

JavaPoet 1.2.0 (2015-07-04)

• New: Arguments may have positional indexes like $1T and $2N. Indexes can be used to refer to the same argument multiple times in a single format string.
• New: Permit Javadoc on enum constants.
• New: Class initializer blocks with addStaticBlock().
• Fix: MethodSpec.overriding() retains annotations.

JavaPoet 1.1.0 (2015-05-25)

• New: Eager validation of argument types like $T and $N.
• New: MethodSpec.varargs(boolean) to generate varags methods.

• New: TypeName.box() and TypeName.unbox() convenience APIs.
• Fix: nextControlFlow() accepts arguments.
• Fix: Reject duplicate calls to set the superclass.
• Fix: WildcardTypeName.get(WildcardType) no longer throws a NullPointerException.
• Fix: Don't allow double field initialization.

JavaPoet 1.0.0 (2015-01-28)
