Sentry 3.0 released!
A new major release of Sentry, our flagship static code analyzer, is available now!
What's New in Sentry 3.0
-
Custom Plugins: You can now write analysis plugins using our Python API, and start finding results specific to your project. This can be as simple as enforcing coding standards, or more advanced, looking for critical defects that can occur in your code.
-
New Scanners: Sentry 3.0 ships with several new scanners, finding more defects than ever. Our new scanners can tell you if dangerous type conversions might cause data loss, if class methods are overridden incorrectly, and if misleading or useless conditional expressions appear in your code.
-
Better Integration: This release includes further refinements on user experience and compiler integration. Sentry 3.0 is easier to use, while still being more flexible and configurable than previous releases. Build integration is more robust, support for scons (the Python build tool) has been added.
-
Under the Hood: Sentry uses an all new project representation under the hood, which is more compact on disk and improves analysis performance. This data can also be used through our Python API, enabling you to interact with your C++ objects in ways that were never possible before.
