Bidirectional character detection sees what you can't

The presence of bidirectional (Bidi) characters in your files can change what you thought was an innocuous comment into potentially malicious code. Since these Bidi characters aren't visible to the eye, it's especially important that analysis detect them for you. So we've added a cross-language rule to detect these characters in all analyzed files.

Taint analysis comes to Android DE Available on Developer Edition EE Available on Enterprise Edition DCE Available on Data Center Edition

Helping Android developers write cleaner, safer code is a top goal for the 9-series. Already, we've introduced Android-specific rules for security-sensitive configurations, MASVS requirements, and coroutines. Now, in commercial editions, we've added Android taint analysis for catching XSS, remote code execution, command injection, SQL injection, and path injection in Java code.

SalesForce analysis starts with Lightning Components

SalesForce Lightning Components are now fully analyzed by default. JavaScript analysis has been updated to understand the Aura Controller's special syntax, and .cmp files are now automatically recognized as HTML files. While analysis of Salesforce's object-oriented Apex language starts in Enterprise Edition, Lightning Component analysis is available for free starting in Community Edition.

New rules help you master C++20 coroutines DE Available on Developer Edition EE Available on Enterprise Edition DCE Available on Data Center Edition

One of C++20's most exciting new features is coroutines, which are especially useful for low-latency programming. To help developers use them well and avoid common pitfalls, we've added ten new coroutine-specific rules, and updated 13 existing rules to avoid false positives and provide the best experience.

Keeping up with new language versions

Clean as You Code comes to Portfolios EE Available on Enterprise Edition DCE Available on Data Center Edition

The Clean as You Code methodology has come to Portfolios. Now the Portfolio homepage reflects the same values developers see in Project homepages: measures on New Code. This means managers and developers will share a united understanding of their projects' health and enjoy richer collaboration.

Portfolios continue branching out EE Available on Enterprise Edition DCE Available on Data Center Edition

In 9.2 Portfolio editing was expanded to allow selection of project branches. With 9.3 branch support is complete with the addition of support for Application branches for your portfolio. Portfolio editing was also updated to make selection of Applications more intuitive. Additionally, Application administration has been moved out of the Portfolio administration UI for greater clarity.

GA: Data Center Edition supports Kubernetes DCE Available on Data Center Edition

Running Data Center Edition on Kubernetes is now officially supported. A few months ago we announced this support in beta. Now it's GA with the addition of support for Prometheus monitoring for all editions.
