**Graceful shutdown**
The SonarQube server now shuts down gracefully. I.E. it completes any currently-processing background tasks before shutting down. This may mean that shutdown takes longer than previously. ([SONAR-12043](https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-12043))
+**Duplication density correction**
+A bug affecting the calculation of duplication density has been fixed. Each project's duplication density value will likely rise at the next analysis, possibly affecting Quality Gate status. ([SONAR-12188](https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-12188))
