With this release, we've improved the synchronization of Quality Profiles in Eclipse (no more manual sync!) when using SonarLint in ‘Connected Mode’.

If you bind your projects to SonarQube using ‘Connected Mode’, SonarLint now automatically synchronizes SonarQube rules and settings (quality profiles) in your Eclipse IDE, enabling project contributors to focus on relevant issues only. 

Plus, many improvements and features for your programming language: 

• Support for scanning Java 17 code; improved accuracy of nullability rules
• Support for 8 new JavaScript rules targeting unit test code using Mocha and Chai. Support for TypeScript.
• 13 new regex rules for Python. See all regex rules.  
• Support for scanning PHP 8 and Python 3.10 which includes structural pattern matching syntax
• And more!
