WALA Versions Save

T.J. Watson Libraries for Analysis, with frontends for Java, Android, and JavaScript, and may common static program analyses

v1.6.4

1 month ago

Mostly behind-the-scenes / build-related changes (many by @liblit). For those running WALA in a multithreaded setting, #1379 may fix some crashes. Also, https://github.com/wala/WALA/pull/1357 updated the version of Eclipse we depend on, which necessitated that Eclipse-related artifacts now require JDK 17 to run. The non-Eclipse-related WALA artifacts still run on JDK 11.

Support for new recent bytecode features has not been tested thoroughly; please file issues if you find bugs. Internally, various build configuration improvements and updates were contributed by @liblit.
