Fixed resolution of modifiers and local type properties from a default type pool.
Improved key for caching TypeLocator to share a key for the system and bootstrap class loader.

Added additional implementations of a DescriptionStrategy for POOL_LAST and POOL_FIRST resolution.

Allow to skip execution of instrumented method from Advice via entry advice indicated by return value.
Added API to transform predefined type variables on a dynamic type.
Refactored Transformer API to be shared for methods, fields and type variables.
Allow to spread Advice methods over multiple classes.
Added convenience methods to AsmVisitorWrappers for declared fields and methods.
Performance improvements in Advice class for byte code parsing.

Added default TypePool that allows for lazy resolution of referenced types. This can both be a performance improvement and allows working with optional types as long as they are not directly required within a transformation. This type pool is now used by default.
Make interfaces public by default when creating them via ByteBuddy::makeInterface.
Added TypeResolutionStrategy to allow for active resolution via the Nexus also from outside the AgentBuilder.
Make best effort from a ClassLoadingStrategy to not resolve types during loading.
Added convenience method for loading a dynamic type with an implicit ClassLoadingStrategy.

Added a ClassFileLocator for a class loader that only references it weakly.
Allow to supply TypePool and ClassFileLocator seperatly from an AgentBuilder.
Made MethodPool sensitive to bridge methods which should only be added to classes of a version older than Java 4.
Fixed creation of Java 9 aware ClassFileTransformer to only apply on Java 9 VMs.
Added matcher for the type of a class loader.
Fixed name resolution of anonymously-loaded types.

Added InstallationStrategy to AgentBuilder that allows customization of error handling.
Added chunked redefinition and retransformation strategies.

Added net.bytebuddy qualifier when logging.
Added net.bytebuddy.dump system property for specifing a location for writing all created class files.

Fixed bug in MultipleParentClassLoader where class loaders were no longer filtered properly.
Added support for major.minor version 53 (Java 9).
Made DescriptionStrategy customizable.

Changed storage order of return values in Advice methods to avoid polluting the local variable array when dealing with nested exception handlers.
Added caching ElementMatcher as a wrapping matcher.
Exclude Byte Buddy types by default from an AgentBuilder.
Added DescriptionStrategy that allows not using reflection in case that a class references non-available classes.

Fixed validation by MethodCall instrumentation for number of arguments provided to a method.
Added further support for module system.
Allow automatic adding of read-edges to specified classes/modules when instrumenting module classes.
Implicitly skip methods without byte code from advice component.
