This release enables the synchronization of file exclusions from SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server to SonarQube for IDE for C and C++ users.

File or directory inclusions/exclusions configured for your project in SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud are now synchronized to SonarQube for IDE, ensuring your analysis is focused upon the desired source code.

Using Connected Mode, third-party code or source files generated by a tool can selectively be removed from analysis within the Visual Studio IDE.
