SonarQube Community Build 26.6.0.123539 released

Sonar is excited to announce the availability of the SonarQube Community Build 26.6.0.123539, our June release.

This version brings new rules for Azure Resource Manager along with other enhancements.

What's new:

Azure Resource Manager: six new rules were added, covering API connections, basic auth, hard-coded secrets, secure inputs/outputs, structured error handling, and excessive nesting.

HTML: new rule S8687 enforces the HTML lang attribute against a configured list of ISO 639-1 language codes.

API: /api/projects/search now supports the projectKeys parameter for case-insensitive search of project keys.

Analysis: external issue import now supports overlapping positions where startColumn is equal to the endColumn

For further details on this release, please refer to the documentation and our full release notes. Please open a new topic in the

SonarQube Community for any questions you have about these or other features.
