SonarQube for IDE: Visual Studio v8.8 introduces two new modes for visualization of issue categorization.

In parallel with SonarQube Server 10.8, we have introduced the option to select either:

• Multi-Quality Rule (MQR) mode - enabling issues to have multiple qualities, and leveraging the newer categorization and severities from SonarQube Server 10.8
• Standard Experience mode - which maintains the issue categorization from SonarQube 9.9 (bug, vulnerability and code smell)

Plus, two important updates:

• A new .NET analyzer is available with support for .NET 9 and C#13.
• SonarQube open-source analyzers bundled by SonarQube for IDE are now using the new Sonar Source-Available License.
