Sonatype IQ Server Feature Status
Note
The Sonatype Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC), including definitions of each stage, is fully defined in Sonatype Sunsetting Information
For more information about Sonatype Support services, please see Sonatype's Software Support Policy.
The Sonatype PDLC is designed to keep us continually improving our products and ensure our customers have access to our best features and functionality. This also helps us provide quality support services for our features and products. To this end, Sonatype will sunset and remove some Sonatype IQ Server features as they become obsolete.
Sonatype IQ Server Feature | Status | Initial Release Date and Version | Beginning of Extended Maintenance | Sunset Date | Reasoning for Sunset | Next Steps |
Java 11 on IQ Server (self-hosted and cloud) | Extended Maintenance | March 2019 | June 2024 | July 2024 | OpenJDK 11 reaches end of life in October 2024. While Java 11 is a long-term support version, Sonatype plans to invest its efforts in supporting newer Java versions in the longer term. | Starting with our July release, if you wish to upgrade to the latest self-hosted IQ release, you will need to upgrade to a newer version of the Java runtime environment. No action is required for Cloud customers. |
Java 8 for IQ Server (self-hosted and cloud) | Extended Maintenance | - | June 2024 | July 2024 | Java 8 has reached end of life and is no longer receiving public updates. | Starting with our July release, if you wish to upgrade to the latest self-hosted IQ release, you will need to upgrade to a newer version of the Java runtime environment. No action is required for Cloud customers. |
Java 8 and 11 for Sonatype CLI | Extended Maintenance | - | June 2024 | See above entries for Java 8 and 11 for IQ Server. | If you wish to upgrade to the latest Sonatype CLI release, you will need to upgrade to a newer version of the Java runtime environment. Starting with our July release, the Sonatype CLI will be split into legacy and latest-version lines. The legacy line will maintain compatibility with Java 8 and 11 and enter extended maintenance as defined in our Sunsetting Information documentation. | |
Data Insights (Experimental) | Sunset | November 2022 (Release 150) | N/A | January 2024 (Release 171) | Data Insights was an experimental feature that Sonatype replaced with the formally supported and more fully featured Integrated Enterprise Reporting (IER) feature.

Debian and Alpine scanning | Extended Maintenance | April, 2020 (Release 90) | January 9, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | Data on the Debian and Alpine ecosystems is provided through Sonatype Container and is more up-to-date than what is available through Lifecycle. Sonatype Container also protects runtime environments a capability that Lifecycle does not provide. | Customers should contact their account manager to discuss transitioning to Sonatype Container for scanning their build and runtime environments for Alpine and Debian, ensuring continuity in their SDLC processes. |
