iBATIS 2.7.6 – Modernization & Code Cleanup Release

Continued Modernization effort focused mostly around conditional statement cleanup.

This release is removal of a single duplicate null check in source code. The remainder is cleanup on test cases only. So this is a pure no-op above 2.7.5 release in order to allow easier bypass of diff given test cleanup size.

Upgrade Notes

• No intended breaking changes, but due to the scope of modernization, please test your applications thoroughly before deploying to production.
• If you encounter issues, reverting to the previous release should be straightforward.
• This is the first in a series of incremental modernization releases; more improvements will follow.
