Hi all,

Sonar is excited to announce the release of SonarQube Server 2026 Release 3.

This version introduces an embedded MCP server that lets AI coding agents directly query your SonarQube Server instance. It also adds full PowerShell analysis support with 32 rules out of the box, many new Groovy and Jenkins pipeline rules, an expanded Python rule set covering collections, OOP patterns, and data structures. Enjoy these and many other improvements in this release.

Details are in the official announcement and the Release Notes (and full release notes in Jira). For upgrade instructions, refer to the upgrade notes.

As usual, downloads are available at sonarsource.com. Docker images are available on Docker Hub and Helm charts are available on ArtifactHub.

Hi Elena!

We are having several problems on our upgraded 2026.3 regarding SCA module. I don’t know if you want me to create another topic for this.

Background task for SCA branch scan are failing with this error message:

2026.05.28 10:23:30 ERROR ce[4ba4f13e-ca8f-4850-8781-dbe483d47ed2][o.s.c.t.CeWorkerImpl] Failed to execute task 4ba4f13e-ca8f-4850-8781-dbe483d47ed2

Could you please let us know if this is related to the new version?

Thank you and best regards.

Hey guys, thanks for reporting. We are aware of this bug and patch is on its way (should be available beginning next week). Sorry for that!

5

When will the next LTA release be published? I want this features but I can only get LTA releases.
