+ <ul>
+ <li>The analyzer includes new checks for:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Improper instance cleanup up in Objective-C -dealloc methods under manual retain/release.</li>
+ <li>Inadvertant comparisons of NSNumber, CFNumberRef, and other number object pointers against scalar values.</li>
+ <li>Unsafe usage of dispatch_once_t predicates stored in Objective-C instance variables and other heap-allocated memory.</li>
+ <li>Issues resulting from self-assignment in C++.</li>
+ <li>Incorrect usage of MPI APIs in C and C++. This check can be enabled by passing the following command to scan-build: <br />
+ <tt>-enable-checker optin.mpi.MPI-Checker</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>The scan-build tool now supports a <tt>--force-analyze-debug-code flag</tt> that forces projects to analyze in debug mode. This flag leaves in assertions and so typically results in fewer false positives.</li>
+ <li>Additional miscellaneous improvements.</li>
+ <li>Now requires macOS 10.8 or later.</li>
+ </ul>
