JaCoCo 0.8.2

[Evgeny Mandrikov]

As you might know, first JDK 11 Release Candidate was announced this week - http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-August/001844.html

And JaCoCo Team pleased to announce release of JaCoCo version 0.8.2 with experimental support for JDK 11 and 12.

This version also includes new filters targeting Kotlin.

As usual you'll find full change log on page http://jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/changes.html

And as always we recommend you to use latest released version.

As before - please note

0.8.2 version of integrations developed as part of JaCoCo project by us (Ant Tasks, Maven Plugin and Command Line Interface) provide Java 11 support and new filters,

tools that directly read exec files (which is not a final report) and embed JaCoCo as a library for generation of report will provide ability to analyze Java 11 class files and to use new filters only after they updated to this version of JaCoCo.

So please follow/wait/etc respective vendors such as
