 Getting Started
 ---------------
 
 + Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
-+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free). This 
is not essential, but makes providing patches much easier.
-+ If you're planning to implement a new feature it makes sense to discuss your 
changes on the [dev list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) first. 
This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't 
considered to be in Apache Commons JEXL's scope.

+  + Clearly describe the issue, including steps to reproduce it if it is a bug.

 Making Changes
 --------------
 
 + Create a _topic branch_ for your isolated work.
-  * Usually you should base your branch from the `master` branch.
-  * A good topic branch name can be the JIRA bug ID plus a keyword, e.g. 
`JEXL-123-InputStream`.
+  * Usually, you should base your branch on the `master` branch.
+  * A good topic branch name can be the JIRA bug ID plus a keyword, e.g., 
`JEXL-123-InputStream`.
   * If you have submitted multiple JIRA issues, try to maintain separate 
branches and pull requests.
 + Make commits of logical units.
   * Make sure your commit messages are meaningful and in the proper format. 
Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
   * For example, `[JEXL-123] Close input stream sooner`
 + Respect the original code style:
   + Only use spaces for indentation; you can check for unnecessary whitespace 
with `git diff` before committing.
-  + Create minimal diffs - disable _On Save_ actions like _Reformat Source 
Code_ or _Organize Imports_. If you feel the source code should be reformatted 
create a separate PR for this change first.
-+ Write unit tests that match behavioral changes, where the tests fail if the 
changes to the runtime are not applied. This may not always be possible but is 
a best practice.

 Unit tests are typically in the `src/test/java` directory.

the pull request does, how, and why.

+Apache Commons JEXL 3.7.1 Release Notes
+---------------------------------------
+
+The Apache Commons JEXL team is pleased to announce the release of Apache 
Commons JEXL 3.7.1.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Apache Commons JEXL is a library that enables scripting features in Java 
applications and frameworks.
+
+This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 8 or later is required.
+
+New features
+------------
+
+o JEXL-473:  Add feature to restrict allowed pragmas. Thanks to henrib. 
+o JEXL-472:  Add property access support for Java record component accessors. 
Thanks to Aurelien Mino. 
+o JEXL-469:  Add JexlFeatures.namespaceInstantiation(boolean) to control 
whether a namespace bound to a Class or class-name string is reflectively 
auto-instantiated into a functor; string namespaces now resolve through the 
permission-aware uberspect. Thanks to Claude. 
+o JEXL-467:  IntelliJ and VSCode editors (TextMate bundle) support for JEXL. 
+
+Fixed Bugs
+----------
+
+o JEXL-471:  Runtime hardening: make regex matching (=~ operator) 
interruptible, enforce MathContext precision on BigInteger arithmetic results, 
and prevent O(n�) DoS from huge BigInteger literals at parse time. Thanks to 
Claude. 
+o JEXL-470:  Fix several parser and interpreter correctness issues: Unicode 
escape hex-digit validation, safe-navigation array-access child indexing, regex 
escape preservation, empty()/size() error and cancellation propagation, and 
switch+continue semantics. Thanks to Claude. 
+o JEXL-468:  Improve robustness of introspection permissions and sandbox 
delegation: close nested-class and interface-method denial gaps, fix 
class-initialization ordering, gate sandbox iteration, fix permission-parser 
polarity, deny second-stage compiler surface under RESTRICTED, and enforce 
parser feature restrictions in sub-parsers. Thanks to Claude. 
+o JEXL-466:  IllegalStateException parsing a template with string 
interpolation. 
+o JEXL-411:  Leading zeroes in floating point numbers should be optional. 
Thanks to Felix Rudolphi. 
+o          Pick up commons.jacoco.version from the parent POM. Thanks to Gary 
Gregory. 
+o          Add messages when throwing NullPointerException. Thanks to Gary 
Gregory. 
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+o          Bump org.apache.commons:commons-parent from 102 to 105. Thanks to 
Gary Gregory. 
+o          [test] Bump org.apache.commons:commons-lang3 from 3.20.0 to 3.21.0. 
Thanks to Gary Gregory.
