[4.4] - 2026-02-21

Added

• Proper support for JEP 500: "Prepare to Make Final Mean Final", where the JDK emits a warning (or, if so configured, throws an exception) when final fields are mutated.
  • #withFactory() method to provide instances to EqualsVerifier so it doesn't have to mutate final fields;
  • Overloads for #withRedefinedSuperclass() and #withRedefinedSubclass() to do the same;
  • Overloads for #withPrefabValues() and #withPrefabValuesForField() where you explicitly provide a copy of the "red" value, because EqualsVerifier will not be able to make a copy of that value without using final field mutation.
  • .set(Mode.finalMeansFinal() so EqualsVerifier refuses to mutate final fields even when still possible: this is useful when migrating to a newer JDK where this is an issue.
  • Documentation: see the chapter on this subject in the manual.
• Prefab values for java.lang.Number.

Changed

• For doubles and floats, EqualsVerifier now uses 0.0 and -0.0 instead of NaN to test edge case handling without triggering precondition exceptions. For boxed Double/Float, it now suggests equals() over Double.compare()/Float.compare() (they behave identically).
