DEV-14454 - HTML grid cells now correctly don't include HTML tags in tooltips.

DEV-15156 - Any HTTP Collectors using expressions within HTTP Headers have been automatically updated with the new syntax. Manual verification is recommended.

DEV-15161 - Fixed a problem with some CSS properties not adding 'px' suffix automatically.

DEV-15178 - Fixed importing configuration sometimes ignored a change to the parent Table of a Table Action.

DEV-15251 - Resolved the issue with tooltips on graphs not closing after clicking outside the message.

DEV-15283 - System Console is no longer visible for users without the required 'View System Console' permission.

DEV-15327 - Permissions have been corrected to allow modification of the "Only allow restricted login permission users" setting.

DEV-15397 - Improved run time for actionflows that include analysis actions.

DEV-15443 - Adding a user group to a user that already has that user group will no longer generate an audit record.

DEV-15485 - By default, MySql and MariaDB JDBC drivers read all query results into memory before returning them to the calling code. This can result in excessive java memory consumption, and failure through running of memory completely.

In order to avoid this, we recommend that all MariaDB JDBC Urls specify 'defaultFetchSize=2000'. E.g.

<property name="url">

<value>jdbc:mariadb://localhost/phixflow?defaultFetchSize=2000</value>

</property>

DEV-15504 - UID field is now populated correctly on Create Forms when default mappings are being used and it has not explicitly been marked as the primary key.

DEV-15644 - Fixed issue whereby Actions, Task Plans, Views etc. were never cleared from the records of objects used, hence were always recompiled on startup even if no longer used.

DEV-15722 - When copying or importing, user groups no longer maintain their associations with users that exist in the target instance.
