[ANN] SonarQube 6.7 LTS released

[Christophe Levis]

Hi SonarQube Community,

SonarSource is very pleased to announce the release of SonarQube 6.7 which is the new LTS version starting from today.

SonarQube 6.7 LTS wraps together all the new features developed during the 6.x series and brings new commercial features. Have a look at the product news to find out more.
Obviously, like every LTS version, it comes with lots of bug fixes and small improvements that make this version the most stable ever.

As usual, please read the release notes and the upgrade notes.

Download is available at sonarqube.org.

Enjoy!

Best regards.

Hi Dan,

Docker image usually comes in a short timeframe after release, and in fact seems to be available already: https://docs.docker.com/samples/library/sonarqube/ . Enjoy !

Best regards,

Nicolas

Well, "Nothing specific for this version." in the upgrade notes is clearly wrong.

Upgrading effectively broke our all our builds:

First: Your change of the license model could have been communicated more clearly. We are using commercial plugins and after the update the system determined that we use one of your commercial editions and that we have too many lines for that. So storing any new analysis effectively failed. Combined with the fact that our admins tried to contact your support to at least get a temporary solution (trial), while sorting everything out, but did not get any answer up to now, this is really annoying.

Second (this already for 6.6, we upgraded from 6.5), dropping the support of a feature (issues reports) could have been more clearly communicated as well, before breaking a lot of pipelines out there. I would consider dropping of formerly working features (although deemed deprecated) being something that needs to be part of upgrade notes.

Please consider including such information clearly in the upgrade notes in the future, this might save a lot of headaches. (Was there some offical announcement about the change of the license model anywhere? I don't remember seeing anything like it on the blog).


Cheers,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

You're right. I've updated the Upgrade Notes for 6.7. I know it's too late for you, but hopefully in time for many others.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

What is the end-of-support date for the previous 5.6 LTS version?

[nicolas...@sonarsource.com]

Hi,

Effective from 6.7 LTS release, 5.6.x is no longer maintained i.e. it will not receive any further bug fix. At any point in time (as clarified in sonarqube.org ) only current LTS and latest versions are maintained.

Best regards,

Nicolas

Thank you - very helpful!

Hi Stephan,

Do you mean that you had the SonarQube 6.5 Community Edition, with several commercial plugins? And that upgrading to 6.7 ment that SonarQube indirectly "upgraded" to the developer edition? 

Thanks,

Mark
