Hi,  
I am pleased to announce this new version of SonarLint for Visual Studio Code.  
Here are a few highlights:

- 20 new rules for PHP,
- 3 new rules for Python,
- many new rules for Java, including 11 rules targeting test code.
- we now display a clear message when an analyser cannot be used due unsupported JRE version, or when the Node.js requirement is not met.
