Hello VS Code community,
I am happy to announce that SonarQube for IDE’s new version, 4.13, is now available on VS Code!
Following our recent rebranding, the updated labels and logos are now available inside the extension and in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
Additionally, the release of SonarQube Server 10.8 brings new features including the introduction of two modes for issues and rules severities:
- The Standard Experience mode maintains the issue categorization (bug, vulnerability, and code smell) from SonarQube 9.9.
- The Multi-Quality Rule (MQR) mode uses the newer categorization and severities, enabling issues to have multiple qualities
Depending on the selected mode, you’ll see the changes reflected in SonarQube for IDE when in connected mode. See the screenshots below:

Finally, this release brings important analyzers’ updates:
- SonarQube open-source analyzers bundled by SonarQube for IDE are now using the new Sonar Source-Available License. If you are scanning your code using SonarQube for IDE, don’t worry—nothing will change! Learn more about the new Sonar License for SonarQube Analyzers
- A new .NET analyzer is available with support for .NET 9 and C#13. More details to be found in this announcement.
- More secret detection patterns are now available in commercial editions only. Functionality and licensing updates, along with the new SonarQube free experience updates, are explained here.
