Jandex 3.5.1

Today, we announce the release of Jandex 3.5.1. This release contains one small improvement (which may be seen as a bug fix by some) and one small new feature.

The Gizmo 2 integration module now includes a StringBuilderGen class. This is a replacement for the StringBuilderOps class that was removed in Gizmo 2.0.0.Beta8 due to unresolved disputes over the API design, particularly around reusability. It is highly likely that StringBuilderOps are coming back to Gizmo 2 in some shape, likely different to the previous version. In the meantime, you can use StringBuilderGen from Jandex.

Certain well-known class types (as in, instances of ClassType) are now guaranteed singletons (if they have no type annotations). This applies for example to java.lang.Object, which has a nice side effect: all unbounded wildcards are now guaranteed to be represented as ? and never as ? extends java.lang.Object. Thanks Robert Stupp for the pull request!

If you experience any troubles, or if you have any ideas for Jandex improvements, please file an issue.
