June 2025: Delivered cross-repo improvements across SonarLint core, IntelliJ, and Eclipse to boost stability, observability, and developer experience. Key features include deprecating the matchProjectBranch API with documentation and tests; migrating HttpConfig to an immutable Java record with updated accessors; telemetry for sub-project bindings to enable deeper usage insights; enhanced tracing for analysis overhead to improve diagnostics; and shared connected mode enhancements across modules with binding handling improvements. CI/CD workflow gains were realized through parallel validation and build optimizations, alongside ongoing dependency and analysis tool updates. Notable user-impact improvements include UI resilience for 429 errors from AI CodeFix and improved Open in IDE messaging. Major bug fixes addressed NPEs in repos without commits and orchestrator Kotlin plugin loading, together with messaging refinements for Open in IDE scenarios.
