1.2.3-SNAPSHOT

User guide and javadoc

New and Enhanced Features

• Added Arbitrary.injectDuplicates(duplicateProbability) to enable the high probability generation of duplicate values

• Added Arbitrary.tuple1(), Arbitrary.tuple2(), Arbitrary.tuple3(), Arbitrary.tuple4() to generate tuples of same base type

• Character \u0000 is being generated as default edge case in String and Character arbitraries (if within allowed range).

Breaking Changes

• Statistics.collect(..) and StatisticsCollector.collect(..) can no longer be called with no values. There must be at least one - but it can be null.

• Statistics.collect(..) and StatisticsCollector.collect(..) must always be called with same number of parameters.

• Deprecated net.jqwik.api.Statistics. Use net.jqwik.api.statistics.Statistics instead.

Bug Fixes

1.2.2

User guide and javadoc

New and Enhanced Features

• When configuration parameter database is set to empty, test run recording is now completely disabled.

• Exhaustive generation of single decimals and floats

• Added Arbitrary.sample() and Arbitrary.sampleStream() for enabling the use of generators outside of properties

• Arbitraries.oneOf(Arbitrary<? extends T>... arbitraries) does now accept covariant subtypes and still returns type Arbitrary<T>.

Breaking Changes

• Deprecated Arbitrary.withSamples(T... samples)

Bug Fixes

• Statistics formatting bug
• Exhaustive generation bug
• Using Arbitraries.forType() outside property bug

1.2.1

User guide and javadoc

New and Enhanced Features

• New configuration parameter defaultGeneration for jqwik.properties file
• Added CharacterArbitrary.with(CharSequence allowedChars)
• Added StringArbitrary.withChars(CharSequence allowedChars)
• Arbitraries of List, Set, Stream und arrays are now of type StreamableArray
• Introduced StreamableArray.reduce()

Breaking Changes

• Arbitrary.exhaustive() must no longer be overridden in implementors of Arbitrary. Override Arbitrary.exhaustive(long maxNumberOfGeneratedSamples) instead.

• TypeUsage.getTypeArguments(): In case of type variables or wildcard types this method will now return the upper bound’s type arguments if there is a single upper bound and no lower bound. This enables correct generation of variables like T extends Map<Integer, String>.

Bug Fixes
