((MMF-1786)[https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/MMF-1786]). +* Analysis is the same for all branches. The parameter `sonar.branch.target` is no longer used and can be removed. +* All branches behave as previous Long-lived branches: all measures are available. The New Code period is configurable and starts by default after the first analysis. The Quality Gate check applies on all conditions. +* As a consequence, branches that were previously Short-Lived branches may display incomplete measures before they are analyzed again. With the first analysis, measures on New Code and the Quality Gate status may change. +* New housekeeping settings replace the Long-lived branch pattern and allow you to choose the branches which should be kept when inactive. +* Detection of new issues in branches and PRs is simplified. The list of issues reported as new may change slighlty. ((SONAR-12627)[https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-12627]). + +**Configuration of Pull Request decoration** +The configuration of Pull Request decoration changes. Previous settings are replaced by a new configuration in the UI. Also, decoration of Pull Requests now supports multiple instances of a same ALM provider in Enterprise Edition and above. ((MMF-1814)[https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/MMF-1814]). + +**Deprecated web services and parameters dropped** +Some Web services and parameters which were deprecated in 6.x versions have been dropped, including some related to Quality Profiles. See Full Release Notes for more info. + +[Full Release Notes](https://jira.sonarsource.com/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10930&version=15243) + + ## Release 8.0 Upgrade Notes **GitHub, LDAP, and SAML authentication now built in** GitHub, LDAP, and SAML authentication is now built in. If you were using the authentication plugins (sonar-ldap, sonar-auth-github, and sonar-auth-saml), you need to remove them from SonarQube before upgrading.
