1.8.0

[MaisiKoleni]

Security

• See GHSA-227w-wv4j-67h4 (CVSS Score 8.2 High) for details (credits to @juliuskreutz)
  There is also more information regarding migration and mitigation in the README. This also resolved Disallow student classes in trusted packages #15.

User-Side Changes

• Completed more parts of the README:
  • Testing Console Interaction
  • Networking
  • Locale
• Update from Jqwik version 1.6.0 to version 1.6.3. See their release notes for details.
• Update to AssertJ version 3.22.0. See their 3.22.0 release notes for details.
• All major Ares annotations are now inherited. See Make most of the Ares annotations inheritable #124 and 792afcb for details.
  In short, this means that Ares annotations can be applied to superclasses of the test classes.
• Promoted large parts of the API to be stable/maintained. See 5dce034 for details.
• Removed the experimental (and useless) method display name obfuscation feature (@ObfuscateMethodNamesBeforeDeadline).

Developer-Side Changes

• README.md is now README.adoc, as AsciiDoc allows for a more expressive documentation. (JUnit 5 User Guide is for example AsciiDoc)
• A few more tests, e.g. for the new security feature and reflection usage.
• Multiple minor dependency updates:
  • spotless-maven-plugin
  • maven-jar-plugin
  • maven-compiler-plugin
  • maven-deploy-plugin
