# CodeScan Release Notes {% hint style="info" %} With the constantly evolving security landscape, we are evolving too. Please note that a number of CodeScan rules will be fully deactivated in 60 days. The rules in question are: * Custom fields must have a description field (sfmeta:RequireDescriptionField, Salesforce Metadata) * Unnecessary Parentheses (sf:UnnecessaryParentheses, Apex) * Use System.Assert instead of System.assertEquals (sf:UseAssertInsteadOfAssertEquals, Apex) * Use System.assertEquals instead of System.assert (sf:UseAssertEqualsInsteadOfAssertEquality, Apex) * Use System.assertEquals instead of System.assert (sf:UseAssertEqualsInsteadOfAssert, Apex) To understand the potential impact on your organisation, we recommend reviewing whether any of the soon-to-be-deactivated rules are currently included in your Quality Profiles.You can do so by navigating to *Quality Profiles* - rules subject to deactivation will be highlighted in red next to the overall rule count within your profiles. Each deprecated rule also includes a reason for deactivation (for example, replacement with an improved rule).Thank you for your continued partnership. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us at {% endhint %}
