     <p>Xtend 2.21.0 is a maintenance release with some usability improvements.</p>

 <h2 id="license-change">License Change</h2>

 <p>In compliance with general requirements by the Eclipse Foundation the license for Xtext &amp; Xtend has been changed to <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/">EPL 2.0</a>.</p>

 <h2 id="xtend-compiler">Xtend Compiler</h2>

 <h3 id="unnecessary-modifiers">Unnecessary modifiers</h3>

 <p>The Xtend compiler has been improved to avoid generating unnecessary modifiers. No modifier is produced in these contexts:</p>

 <ul>
   <li><code>static</code> modifier for nested types within interfaces</li>
   <li><code>public</code> modifier for interface members</li>
   <li><code>abstract</code> modifier for operations within interfaces</li>
 </ul>

 <p>Example:</p>

 <pre><code>interface FooItf {
   def void bar ()
   static class FooItfImpl implements FooItf {
     override void bar () {}
   }
 }
 </code></pre>

 <p>Old compilation result:</p>

 <pre><code>public interface FooItf {
   public static class FooItfImpl implements FooItf {
     @Override
     public void bar () {
     }
   }

   public abstract void bar();
 }
 </code></pre>

 <p>New compilation result:</p>

 <pre><code>public interface FooItf {
   class FooItfImpl implements FooItf {
     @Override
     void bar () {
     }
   }

   void bar();
 }
 </code></pre>
