+### 🚀 New and noteworthy
+
+### 🌟 New and changed rules
+
+#### New Rules
+* The new Apex rule [`QueueableWithoutFinalizer`](https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.8.0/pmd_rules_apex_bestpractices.html#queueablewithoutfinalizer) detects when the Queueable interface
+  is used but a Finalizer is not attached. Without attaching a Finalizer, there is no way of designing error
+  recovery actions should the Queueable action fail.
+
