This release ends support for Java 8 and 9. Java 10 is now required, which is why this release has a major version bump despite the fact that the only code changes are on the testing side. Read on...

  • Tweaked the JUnit tests after discovering that they fail with Java 9 and 10. Java 8 introduced a floating point bug which was fixed in Java 9, but the tests were only ever run on Java 8, so I was unaware that different JREs were giving different results for floating point calculations. Although the tests were using an epsilon for floating-point comparisons, it wasn't large enough to account for the floating point change introduced in Java 9, so the tests failed.
  • Upgraded Mockito to prevent "Illegal reflective access" when building on Java 9 and 10.

The reasons for ending support for Java 8 and 9 are:

  1. Due to floating point differences, keeping the JUnit tests working from Java 8 to 10 would have required allowing a greater margin of error in calculations
  2. The status of the JUnit tests on Java 9 is unknowable because Oracle ended support for Java 9. They pulled the SDK from their site, so I can't install it to test.

If you build this project from source, and you use my https://github.com/kloverde/BuildScripts project to do it, you'll need to pull the latest version. I had to remove findbugs from BuildScripts because it's incompatible with Java 10 - plus, the project is dead.
