Hi everyone!
This major release of the Scanner for .NET drops support for .NET Core 2.1 and 3.0, .NET Framework 4.6, Java 11, and SonarQube < 8.9.
It simplifies packaging: now two packages are made available, instead of 4:
sonar-scanner-*-net, based on .NET Core 3.1, for .NET Core and .NET 5 and abovesonar-scanner-*-net-framework, based on .NET Framework 4.6.2, for .NET Framework 4.6.2 and above
We also changed the way automatic code coverage detection works on Azure DevOps Extensions. We no longer depend on CodeCoverage.exe being present on the build machine.
For the complete list of breaking changes check the list below.
