This release delivers additional help to assist whilst investigating injection vulnerabilities in your IDE, plus additional support for Front-end Developers!

We have introduced more structured rule descriptions to help you better understand injection vulnerabilities. Now, when investigating taint vulnerabilities detected by SonarQube analysis directly in your IDE, you can not only visualize the data injection flows directly in the source code but also understand the potential impact and how to fix it.

In addition, this version helps all Front-end Developers deliver Clean Code by extending support for the following front-end languages:

• CSS analysis in all IntelliJ IDEs supported by SonarLint
• JavaScript, TypeScript, and HTML in Rider

Plus:

• For .NET developers in Rider, we have improved support for the C#11 language features.
• For C++ developers in CLion, you now have 6 new rules to cover C++20’s concepts.
• For JavaScript developers, another 6 new rules for detecting performance issues in React.

Find more details in our release notes and community announcement.

This release benefits those building .NET applications in Rider and delivers easier integration of SonarLint to the complete Sonar solution.

Introducing 50+ C# quick fixes for bugs and code smells! Activate them using your usual shortcut in Rider, and allow SonarLint to rapidly repair flagged issues as you code your .NET application. 

Plus, enjoy new features designed to facilitate your SonarLint integration to SonarCloud and SonarQube, and access to the full Sonar Clean as You Code experience:

• A simplified authentication to SonarQube, with token generation and transfer now taken care of by SonarLint, with your consent

• Intelligent notification through SonarLint that your project is configured for analysis within SonarQube or SonarCloud, offering a single-click project binding.

We’ve also added 4 new quick fixes for Python issues!

More details are in our release notes and community announcement.

This packed release brings new rules for JavaScript, TypeScript & Python developers, and more!

First, for JS & TS developers, we've added 7 new rules to detect React-specific bugs and code smells. 

Plus: 

• Analysis of JS code embedded inside AWS template files in YAML
• Support for TypeScript 4.8

Then, for Python developers

• 7 new rules dedicated to ensuring the quality of your unit test code

And to conclude, we've added support for Kotlin 1.7 and PHP 8.2!

This release brings additional productivity enhancements for teams using Connected Mode to SonarQube 9.6 and above.

Using Connected Mode to SonarQube, and delivering access to the complete Sonar solution, issue synchronization will happen automatically and in real-time, thanks to server-sent events.

Thus, when suppressing an issue in SonarQube, or when the branch analysis detects a new SQL injection, this will be synced to SonarLint in seconds - with no need to refresh - ensuring team alignment.

As a reminder, binding your local project to SonarQube using Connected Mode:

• Keeps noise to a minimum by avoiding reporting any issues already reviewed and marked as “Won’t Fix” or “False Positive” by yourself or other contributors in SonarQube.

• Will pull, and help you investigate, any taint vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injections) detected by SonarQube (starting from Developer Edition) in your IntelliJ IDE.

This packed release brings support for quick fixes in Python, new rules for Java developers, and much more.

SonarLint in IntelliJ now offers quick fixes to effortlessly repair your Python issues, before they are committed. You can browse all Python detections providing quick fixes here. Available when using SonarLint alone, or in connected mode to SonarCloud, these complement the many quick fixes already supported for selected rules in Java, Javascript, Typescript, C and C++.

Additionally, for Java developers, 7 new rules are available to help build clean cloud-native applications for AWS and avoid common pitfalls.  A description of the new rules can be found here. Plus, a further 6 rules dedicated to regular expressions, helping to reduce their complexity for better readability and maintainability. SonarLint now supports 30 rules to help write clean regex in Java.

Also included with this release:

• New rules to help C# developers write clean Azure functions
• Support for TypeScript 4.7
• Support for Ruby 3.1
• Improvements for .NET in Rider

This release enables SonarLint’s branch support within IntelliJ, and more!

Building upon its existing ability to synchronize issue suppressions (i.e issues marked as Won’t Fix or False Positives) SonarLint now enables issue synchronization to any branch (main, feature branch, dev branch …) you’re working on.

Simply bind your local project to SonarQube using Connected Mode so you can focus on relevant issues in your IDE. No additional configuration is required, and it's available across the full range of Sonar supported JetBrains IDEs!

In addition, we’ve added 15 additional Quick Fixes for C++ developers using CLion. You can browse all C++ rules where we provide Quick Fixes here.
