Sonarqube 6.7.2 end of life

SonarQube

Hi all,

I am currently using Sonarqube v6.7.2. Does anyone happen to know what the end of life is for this? I have looked everywhere, however, I cannot seem to find any information on this.

Thanks

Hello,

All the SonarQube 6.7.x are considered LTS. The “x” is just a bug fix patch and it’s recommended to always run the latest one: 6.7.4 as of now.
Generally LTS are supported for 18 months and because SonarQube 6.7.0 was released on Nov 2017, another SonarQube 7.x LTS will come around Q1-Q2 2019 and so SonarQube 6.7.x will reach its EOL at that time.

The information is there but unfortunately a little bit hidden on that page https://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/. Click on the little “i” icon on the right of “Get the LTS (Long-term Support): SonarQube 6.7.x”

Regards

Is the LTS / support policy documented anywhere? it is a bit confusing.

Some questions I have are:

  • Is version 6.7 LTS still supported? If so, for how long? is there a stated EOL?
  • What does it mean to be supported or unsupported? Can we call for help and receive advice and direction for working with the software and troubleshooting problems? Will SonarSource continue to provide any fixes for version 6.7?

Hi @AFlatoff,

Welcome to the community!

Support for the previous LTS ends 6 months after the release of the new one, so at the beginning of January. Once a version is “unsupported” then you’ll get some help upgrading but for the rest you’re on your own. And no, there will be no more fixes for 6.7. And that starts now, not in January.
