+#### V1.9 (unreleased)
+- BogusAssertion inspection will no longer warn if the expression contains method calls.
+  Moreover, for assertions of ```isEqualTo()``` and ```hasSameHashCodeAs()```, AND if the containing method name contains 'equal' or 'hashcode',
+  the warning will be reduced to information level as the assertion may be testing ```equals()``` or ```hashCode()``` for validity.

 #### V1.8 (14-Feb-20) Valentine Edition
 - Maintenance. Removed experimental API use. Updated dependencies. Fixed testing problems introduced with IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3
 - Added new TwistedAssertion inspection that will warn about assertions with the actual expression being a constant indicating
