is the code analysis rules of 9.9.5 and 10.5 the same?

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

• which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
  9.9.5

• how is SonarQube deployed: zip, Docker, Helm
  zip

• what are you trying to achieve
  stay at 9.9.x if the rule set the same with 10.5.X

• what have you tried so far to achieve this
  dont understand the way sonarqube update the ruleset /coverage for community edition

Do not share screenshots of logs – share the text itself (bonus points for being well-formatted)!

Hey there.

SonarQube’s ruleset evolves with each version. Rules are updated, added, deprecated, and (after appropriate deprecation) removed.

You can see at a high-level what evolution takes place in our release announcements. For example, in SonarQube 10.5:

Other Changes to Note

JavaScript/TypeScript:

• Ongoing precision improvements were made to reduce false positive rates.

Java/Kotlin:

• Added five new rules.

.NET:

• Promoted seven rules to the Sonar way quality profile.

Python:

• Ongoing precision improvements were made to reduce false positive rates.

Thanks for sharing this. 10.5.X had new feature and changes.
But we will stay at 9.9.x LTA branch as its still providing Bug fix and Security updates .

1. if we stay at 9.9 LTA and update with the latest minor version. Do we still get the latest rules.

2. can we assume the the ruleset updates in 9.9.x LTA as welll. eg version of 9.9.4 to 9.9.x on par with 10.5.x ?

3. the rules site dont have mean to download.

No. Rules are only updated in new major/minor versions of SonarQube (not patch versions)

New language features now available exclusively in latest SonarQube versions

Hello SonarQube Community, Version after version, SonarQube offers new features and improvements for 27 languages. From now on, the future additions to languages will be available only in new releases of SonarQube. In practice, previous SonarQube versions, including the 7.9 LTS, will stop offering the ability to upgrade language analysis to benefit from features added in the future versions of the product. Why? We thought hard about this and, in the end, it came down to the choice …
