+RAT generates a more expressive report now as certain individually
configurable limits for counters exist. In case you do preprocessing of the
report, you need to adapt your scripts according to RAT's XSD schema.
+Furthermore, the inclusion/exclusion configuration (e.g. .gitignore), parsing
and processing in RAT was overhauled - see RAT-476 for a known issue in that
regard.
Many checkstyle, spotbugs and documentation issues were fixed.

-Additionally, a new automated test suite was developed in order to ease testing
-of edge cases and example licenses and custom license definitions.

generation.

missing-headers.
- Thus, "plain-rat" (default), "missing-headers", and
- "unapproved-licenses" can be used in all RAT clients. From the CLI
- the --output-style option allows to use a short name
