1.11.1

[MaisiKoleni]

User-Side Changes

• Improve default case-sensitivity choice of DynamicField. (see Do not ignore cases for attribute names #258, credits to @JohannesStoehr)
  The likely default that users want is that the field names are used as-is, so the case-insensitive default is counterintuitive and can lead to problems if constants and instance variables share the same name but in different capitalization.
• Fixed bad feedback provided by ReflectionTestUtils if a member is inaccessible because of the visibility of its containing class and not the member's own modifiers. (see ReflectionTestUtils: Improve Feedback if classes are not public #254, credits to @Strohgelaender)
  The failure message now distinguishes the different problem sources and will tell the students whether the problem is the class or the attribute/method/constructor.
• ReflectionTestUtils now offers the methods setValueOfAttribute and setValueOfNonPublicAttribute to set the value of attributes. The modification of final fields is prohibited. (see ReflectionTestUtils: Methods for changing values of attributes #256)
• ReflectionTestUtils now offers re-throwing methods for instance creation to allow testing of exceptions thrown in constructors. (see ReflectionTestUtils: Testing exceptions in constructors #257)
• DynamicField now offers methods to set field values for static and instance fields. The modification of final fields is prohibited.
• Update Logback from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5. See their release notes for details.

Developer-Side Changes

• More and better tests for ReflectionTestUtils and the Dynamics Framework
• Small dependency updates:
  • spotless-maven-plugin
