After being promised for months now, MegaLinter v6 has finally been released :)

You can see all the updates in the release notes -> https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/releases/tag/v6.0.0

Just run npx mega-linter-runner@latest --upgrade to use it :) (troubleshooting)

Some linters has been removed, so if you referred to them in your configuration, you'll have to remove them

• DOCKERFILE_DOCKERFILELINT : It was not maintained anymore and hadolint much more efficient
• RST_RSTFMT : It was highly experimental and not maintained anymore

On some big repos, some of the new linters can be slow (like REPOSITORY_GITLEAKS) or too noisy ( like REPOSITORY_SEMGREP), don't hesitate to disable them using DISABLE_LINTERS property in .mega-linter.yml: You only can decide the linters you need !

If you see any bug/issue, please let us know !

Best regards

Edit: Known issues:

• Redirection of github action megalinter/megalinter to oxsecurity/megalinter

  • GitHub deprecated automated redirections for GitHub Actions, so you need to replace megalinter/megalinter by oxsecurity/megalinter, even if you don't want to migrate to v6 yet

• PRE_COMMANDS using npm install. Fixed in v6.0.4

  • temp fix by adding cd /node-deps && npm install xxx .... This will be automatically added soon (post-css module installation #1258)

• mega-linter-runner does not upgrade report folder for uploading artifacts (mega-linter-runner --upgrade does not update report folder in Github Action Workflows #1609) Fixed in v6.0.5

  • workaround: replace manually report by megalinter-reports
