ProGuard 7.3.1 Notes

Kotlin support

  • Add support for Kotlin 1.8.

Improved

  • Conservative optimization is now the default. Previously, it could be enabled by setting the optimize.conservatively system property. This has been replaced with the -optimizeaggressively option, which sets optimization to aggressive.
  • Improve optimization performance in edge cases with generated code. (#283)

ProGuardCORE 9.0.7

Improved

  • Don’t report warnings for missing Kotlin default implementation classes when initializing with ClassReferenceInitializer.
  • Only link matching methods in Kotlin file facades with MethodLinker.
  • Extend the LimitedHashMap parameterization with an element exclusion selector.
  • Add the possibility to add a predicate to taint sources and sinks for selective response to calls.

API Improvements

  • Add KotlinMetadataAsserter to check the integrity of Kotlin metadata.
  • Add JvmReturnTaintSink to support return instruction sinks in taint analysis.
  • Use method signatures instead of fully qualified names in taint sources and sinks.

API changes

  • JvmTaintSink has been generalized, use JvmInvokeTaintSink to have the old functionalities.
