Introducing Multi-Quality Rule Mode

You can now toggle your SonarQube Community Build instance between the Standard Experience  and Multi-Quality Rule Mode (MQR). 

See Instance mode overview for more information. In both modes, it's possible to customize the severity of issues and rules.

New SonarQube Server instances use MQR Mode by default. Upon upgrading, existing SonarQube Server 10.1 and earlier are configured with the Standard Experience by default.
