+- [#94](https://github.com/zendframework/zenddiagnostics/pull/94) updates the
+  `AbstractResult::$message` property to default to an empty string instead of
+  `null`. Since both `ResultInterface` and `AbstractResult` document that the
+  return type for `getMessage()` is a string, and all reporters expect a string,
+  this ensures type safety for the method.
