## Headline changes
- The long `2.44.0.BETAX` period is finally over (sorry, there was [a problem in Gradle land](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/987)).
- Spotless now supports [linting](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#lints) in addition to formatting.
  - help wanted: [maven api to suppress lints](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/2309)
