The PL/SQL product is a commercial extension of the Sonar platform, which analyzes applications based on the Oracle PL/SQL technology and displays quality data in dashboards.

This new version provides improvements and a new feature :

• Parser improvements :
  Support of REMAINDER, REM, subqueries, LIKE2, LIKE4, etc.
  A complete list of these improvements is available in the release note

• New rules for code quality assessment :
  SonarSource has developed a rule engine, that makes easier the creation and integration of new PL/SQL rules. In this version, 4 new rules have been added in PL/SQL 1.11 :
  - Procedure/function complexity check
  - Procedure/function naming conventions
  - Avoid using GOTO statement
  - Use WHEN OTHERS in exception handling

Trial version and documentation are available in the product page.
The features of PL/SQL 1.11 are demonstrated in Nemo.

We are pleased to announce that Eric Hartmann has joined SonarSource and will be looking after Infrastructure & Support.

While both products range and user community are growing around the Sonar platform, Eric’s key assignments will be:

• To insure ongoing success of Sonar platform & Ecosystem to our 150+ customers
• To support the development internal infrastructure

Prior to joining SonarSource, Eric was Project Manager at ServeBox (a RIA consulting & engineering company) and most recently freelance consultant since 2008.

What’s hot in this release?

• Cross-Project Detection of Code Duplication: so far the detection of copy paste code was only done inside a project. Thanks to GSoC, Sonar has now got its own Copy-Paste Detection that is very scalable and can detect cross-projects duplications.

• TimeMachine 2.0: the ability to replay the past has been greatly improved and is now fully part of dashboards as it is widget based. This means that the evolution of any metric can be tracked along with the dashboard. And in order to not display irelevant analysis, it is now possible to removed them.
