[Soot-list] FlowDroid has moved to a new repository

[Arzt, Steven]

Hi all,

The FlowDroid data flow tracker has moved. It is now located at https://github.com/secure-software-engineering/FlowDroid. At the same time, we have released the new version 2.5.1. All new updates will only be made available in the new repository. With the new structure, all components are finally in one place and can be built together using a single Maven POM file. This will hopefully solve the dependency issues once and for all. Furthermore, it's a lot easier to maintain. The old repositories for the individual components are still there, but will eventually disappear.

Release notes for 2.5.1:

-          A completely re-written command-line tool

-          StubDroid is now used by the command-line tool by default. If you use the API, you still need to explicitly activate StubDroid like any other taint wrapper.

-          StubDroid has tons of new library summaries.

-          Many extensions to the FlowDroid XML configuration. You can either pass individual options to the command-line tool, or you can use the API. The third option is to simply pass a configuration file to the command-line client or the API. That configuration file is now a proper alternative that should be as expressive as the normal command-line options.

-          Many smaller improvements to stability and scalability

-          Possible quite some stuff that I have forgotten

Best regards,
  Steven
