Sonar Dataflow Bug Detection (DBD) engine 2.0 has been released, providing more precise bug detection. This update notably improves bug detection for Java and Python code, both human and AI-generated, resulting in more relevant findings.

Initial results, documented in a blog post, show a significant increase in true positives and a decrease in false positives.

Additional details can be found in the Community post.

We have released an expanded ruleset for PySpark code. This update includes 5 new rules, bringing the total to 13, and is designed to help identify common issues, and encourage best practices.

SonarQube Cloud has launched support for the Rust programming language.

This initial release emphasizes helping you write maintainable code.

Features include:

• 85 Clippy rules you can use in your Quality Profile
• Code coverage ingestion (LCOV and Cobertura format)
• Cognitive Complexity and Cyclomatic Complexity metrics

Rust analysis currently requires CI-based analysis, with cargo and Clippy needed on the analysis machine.

SonarQube Cloud Team and Enterprise plan users can now experience enhanced flexibility and power in automated code remediation. We've expanded our AI CodeFix capabilities by introducing support for additional Large Language Models (LLMs), allowing you to select either Claude 3.5 Sonnet or Claude 3.7 Sonnet for generating code suggestions. This choice gives you greater control to tailor the AI assistance to your specific project needs and preferences.

Alongside the introduction of selectable LLMs, we have also increased the number of rules covered by AI CodeFix. This means SonarQube Cloud can now provide automated fix suggestions for an even wider array of code quality and code security issues, streamlining your workflow and helping you resolve problems more efficiently.

These enhancements are now available to all users on our Team and Enterprise plans.

 Additional details are available here and in this Community post.

SonarQube Cloud Enterprise now provides a centralized view of code security issues across multiple projects at the Portfolio level, saving you time and eliminating the need to check individual project reports.

It offers a comprehensive security snapshot, instant risk clarity to understand which portfolios are most at risk, as well as drill-down capabilities, accessible via a new Security Report tab in the Portfolios section. 

This feature is available with the Enterprise plan. Additional details are available in the Community post.

We've launched a major update, expanding to 307 secret patterns with 255 rules, including 132 new rules.
