For another version, replace 10.8 in the URL with that version. The latest version has no version number in its URL.

This page contains information on the deprecation and removal of SonarQube Server features and API endpoints.

• Each deprecated feature or API endpoint will be removed in a future release. We recommend to start using its replacement (if any) as soon as possible.
• To check for breaking changes before you upgrade, read the Release upgrade notes for all the versions between your current version and the target version.
• Plugin basics deprecations are announced in the sonar-plugi-api GitHub repository.

Deprecation time frame

A deprecated feature can be dropped in the year following the year it was deprecated, after the new LTA, with a minimum of 6 months after deprecation.

For example, a feature deprecated in the 2025.2 version is kept until the 2026.1 LTA (Patched versions) version and dropped in the 2026.2 version or later.

A backward-incompatible change or dropping of a public API endpoint, a workflow, or a feature is subject to the deprecation. Once deprecated, they will be removed in a future version.

SonarQube 10.6

Deprecated build wrapper output property

• Announced in SonarQube 10.6 (June 2024)
• Removal in SonarQube 11.0 or later

Build Wrapper collects information from the build in two separate JSON formats: compile_commands.json and build-wrapper-dump.json. Both these files are generated in the specified output directory. The build-wrapper-dump.json format and its associated property sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output are deprecated. The sonar.cfamily.compile-commands property should be used instead to specify the path to the compile_commands.json file.
