Description

The Long/Float/Double etc constructors were deprecated in Java 9. Various bits of the codebase (mostly tests, but some not) are still using these. The constructors remain available currently, but their deprecation was raised to for-removal status in Java 16, meaning they are intended for actual removal at some point. The valueOf methods should be used instead.
