SonarLint for Visual Studio v7.5 enhances the user experience in connected mode to SonarCloud or SonarQube by allowing you to interact with the status of an issue without leaving your IDE.

Now, you can choose to resolve an issue that you’re not going to fix as Won’t Fix or False Positive. This new issue status will be synced with SonarQube, SonarCloud, and all other contributors using SonarLint in connected mode.

Immediately available for issues already detected by a previous branch analysis in SonarQube or SonarCloud - this will be enabled for new issues in a future release.

SonarLint for Visual Studio v7.3 introduces the adoption of Clean Code attributes to categorize issues.

We have made various product changes in alignment with our Clean Code vision. For each issue raised in your code, SonarLint will now report the Clean Code attribute and software qualities impacted.

You can learn more here, in the new SonarLint for Visual Studio documentation.

Plus you can check out the community announcement and release notes.

This release brings enhancements in SonarQube to SonarLint synchronization, code examples, and documentation.

Now any changes in the project Quality Profile configured in SonarQube will be synched in near real-time to the IDE. This means only relevant issues in your code are reported by SonarLint when connected mode is enabled.

In addition, we’ve enhanced our rule descriptions with code diff highlighting between non-compliant/compliant code examples. This is designed to help developers easily understand examples and quickly resolve issues.

And finally, we have enhanced and moved all SonarLint documentation to a central location: https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarlint/visual-studio/ as part of this initiative.
