Breaking changes
The default value for the /d:sonar.host.url parameter changed from http://localhost:9000 to https://sonarcloud.io.
What's new
The scanner no longer depends on a local Java runtime environment installation. The required Java runtime environment is provisioned and cached by the scanner.
You can skip this provisioning by specifying one of these parameters in the begin step:
/d:sonar.scanner.skipJreProvisioning=true/d:sonar.scanner.javaExePath="<<path\to\java.exe>>"
