Known Issues

For an up to date list of known issues see the issue tracker.

• not compatible with Java 9
• Ensure that a rule is enabled if you get no results. In new SQ versions the default profile is read-only. The cxx plugin does not enable all rules per default.
• Starting with SQ 6.2 there are some new metrics and some are no more available. Please have a look to the SonarQube release notes.
• duplicated_lines_density values are different with SQ 7.5
• test execution metrics are not supported
• The Cppcheck plugin is deprecated and not working in parallel to this plugin. This plugin provides an own Cppcheck sensor.
• C plugin and JSON Compilation Database support are experimental only

Ensure that a rule is enabled if you get no results. In new SQ versions the default profile is read-only. The cxx plugin does not enable all rules per default.

You could reference the corresponding wiki page somewhere in this sentence: https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx/wiki/Activate-quality-rules

The release note looks good to me 👍

@guwirth please consider adding #1641 to 1.2.1. It's also about the logging optimization.
