---

* [YETUS-471](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-471) | *Major* | **Add possibility to skip the source check for Findbugs**

<!-- markdown -->
Users of Apache Yetus Test Patch who wish to run the findbugs check on all changed modules rather than just those that have changed source files can now pass `--findbugs-skip-maven-source-check`.


---

* [YETUS-509](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-509) | *Major* | **Remove maven-eclipse plugin support**

We have removed testing of the maven-eclipse plugin as it has been deprecated for several years now.


---

* [YETUS-512](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-512) | *Blocker* | **Switch default docker image over to Xenial**

This patch switches the default image over to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, OpenJDK 8, and Ruby 2.3.


---

* [YETUS-500](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-500) | *Major* | **Add section headers to break out precheck/branch compilation checks from patch checks.**

The output of Test Patch now includes headers that break up the vote table according to whether a given check is done before looking at the code repo (a precheck), after looking at the code repo but before applying the proposed patch (a branch check), or after applying the proposed patch (a patch check).


---

* [YETUS-511](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-511) | *Major* | **github PR handler shouldn't use raw numbers**

Apache Yetus now requires that Github pull requests on the command line have the prefix GH: prefix.  This makes it consistent with other bug systems.
