This release addresses a potential silent error in junit4 ant task, which could happen when a test emitted a large output and the XML reporter attempts to convert it to XML, leading to an OOM (#314).

An internal version of asm library and guava have been updated.

Full Changelog: release/2.8.2...release/2.8.3

This release fixes a concurrency problem in group evaluation.

• GH-311 Race condition calling RandomizedTest.isNightly

This release includes two minor changes and should be fully backwards-compatible, unless deep
internals of the code were used (such as event subscribers).

• GH-303: Messages from ThreadLeakControl.checkThreadLeaks can
  be inconsistent due to mismatched use of thread data.

• GH-304: Replace master/slave with main/forkedjvm terminology. This change
  may result in backward incompatibilities if you used low-level event bus
  subscription methods or JSON reports. Grep and replace 'slave' with 'forkedJvm'
  and 'master' with 'main' seed.

Other:

• Update ASM to 9.2 to support JDK 17

• Update JUnit dependency to 4.13.1.

• Update Ant dependency to 1.9.15.

Improvements

• GH-289: Bump asm to 8.0.1.

• PR-287: Bump dom4j from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3.

Bug Fixes

• GH-283: RandomizedRunner throws NoTestsRemainException from the
  constructor when method filter is supplied and no methods match
  (Mark Vieira).

Improvements

• Switch to simple-xml-safe.

• throw NoTestsRemainException if Filterable.filter removes all tests.

Improvements

• Use thread join internally to wait for forked timeouting test thread
  instead of a hardcoded sleep (dumb!).

Bug Fixes

• GH-280: Potential race condition in global temp folder generation.

Bug Fixes

• GH-276: Annotations on overriden methods are not picked up (annotations on overrides of @test methods are not picked up).
