<h1>

</h1>
<h2>
New and Noteworthy
</h2>
<h3>
Core Improvements:
</h3>
<h4>
Thread Group: New Option 
<i>
Delay thread creation until needed
</i>
</h4>
<p>
New Option "Delay thread creation until needed" that will create and start threads when needed instead of creating them on Test startup
<br>



<b>
This new feature allows running tests with a huge number of short lived threads.
</b>


<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='817' height='296' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/12_delay_thread_creation.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
HTTP Cookie Manager (IPv6 support)
</h4>
<p>
Add HTTPClient 4 cookie implementation in JMeter. 
<br>


Cookie Manager has now the default HC3.1 implementation and a new choice HC4 implementation (compliant with IPv6 address) 

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='635' height='239' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/11_hc4_cookie.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
Memory and performance improvements
</h4>
<p>
Significant improvements have been done in this version on memory usage of JMeterThread
</p>
<p>
JSR223 Elements (enable using Groovy, scala... as scripting languages) have been improved to enable:

<ul>

    
<li>
usage of Compilable interface when available to boost CPU usage
</li>

    
<li>
caching of Compilation when scripts are used as Files
</li>


</ul>

See 
<a href="http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterPerformance">
JMeter Performances across versions
</a>


</p>
<h4>
OS Process Sampler
</h4>
<p>
Allow defining files for stdout/stderr/stdin. 

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='820' height='531' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/06_os_sampler_stdout-err-in.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
HTTP Request: PATCH verb
</h4>
<p>
Add PATCH verb to HTTP sampler

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='615' height='340' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/01_http_patch_verb.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
HTTP Request: HTTPClient 4 is now the default implementation
</h4>
<p>
HTTPClient 4 is now the default HTTP Request implementation (and for Proxy element when generating HTTP requests).
<br>


Previously the default was the HTTP Java implementation (i.e. the implementation provided by the JVM) 

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='558' height='288' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/02_http_default_hc4.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
HTTP Request
</h4>
<p>
Add Embedded URL Filter to HTTP Request Defaults Control (it was already present for HTTP Requests)

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='586' height='682' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/05_http_defaults_url_filter.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
Miscellanous
</h4>
<ul>

    
<li>
CSV Dataset : Embedded new lines are now supported in quoted data
</li>
 
    
<li>
JMX files now contain the version of JMeter that created the file
</li>
 
    
<li>
JMeter Version is now available as property "jmeter.version"
</li>
 

</ul>
<h3>
Reporting Improvements:
</h3>
<h4>
Response Time Graph
</h4>
<p>
Add a new visualizer Response Time Graph to draw a line graph showing the evolution of response time for a test

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='993' height='549' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/09_resp_time_graph.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<p>
Settings for Response Time Graph

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='989' height='602' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/08_resp_time_graph_settings.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
View Results in Table
</h4>
<p>
Add latency to View Result in Table listener

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='998' height='324' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/10_latency_view_results_table.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
Aggregate Graph
</h4>
<p>
Small improvements: legend at left or right is now on 1 column (instead of 1 large line), ...

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='989' height='418' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/07_aggregate_graph_legend_left_right.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h3>
GUI and ergonomy Improvements:
</h3>
<h4>
HTTP Proxy Server simplifications
</h4>
<p>
HTTPS Spoofing options have been removed from Proxy as HTTPS recording is directly available since JMeter 2.4.

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='940' height='277' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/03_remove_https_spoofing1.png"><br>
<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p>


</p>
<h4>
HTTP Proxy Server
</h4>
<p>
Allow URL Filters to be pasted from clipboard 

<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img width='707' height='614' src="./../docs/images/screenshots/changes/2.8/15_add_from_clipboard_filter.png"><br>

<h2>
Known bugs
</h2>
<p>
The Once Only controller behaves correctly under a Thread Group or Loop Controller,
but otherwise its behaviour is not consistent (or clearly specified).
</p>
<p>
Listeners don't show iteration counts when a If Controller has a condition which is always false from the first iteration (see 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52496">Bug 52496</a>
).  
A workaround is to add a sampler at the same level as (or superior to) the If Controller.
For example a Test Action sampler with 0 wait time (which doesn't generate a sample),
or a Debug Sampler with all fields set to False (to reduce the sample size).

</p>
<p>

Changing language can break part of the configuration of the following elements (see 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53679">Bug 53679</a>
):

<ul>

    
<li>
CSV Data Set Config (sharing mode will be lost)
</li>

    
<li>
Constant Throughput Timer (Calculate throughput based on will be lost)
</li>


</ul>


</p>
<p>

Note that there is a bug in Java on some Linux systems that manifests
itself as the following error when running the test cases or JMeter itself:

<pre>

 [java] WARNING: Couldn't flush user prefs:
 java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException:
 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not supported: indent-number

</pre>

This does not affect JMeter operation.

</p>
<h2>
Incompatible changes
</h2>
<p>

When using CacheManager, JMeter now caches responses for GET queries provided header Cache-Control is different from "no-cache" as described in specification.
Furthermore it doesn't put anymore in Cache deprecated entries for "no-cache" responses. See 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53521">Bug 53521</a>
 and 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53522">Bug 53522</a>
 

</p>
<p>

A major change has occured on JSR223 Test Elements, previously variables set up before script execution where stored in ScriptEngineManager which was created once per execution, 
now ScriptEngineManager is a singleton shared by all JSR223 elements and only ScriptEngine is created once per execution, variables set up before script execution are now stored 
in Bindings created on each execution, see 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53365">Bug 53365</a>
.

</p>
<p>

JSR223 Test Elements using Script file are now Compiled if ScriptEngine supports this feature, see 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53520">Bug 53520</a>
.

</p>
<p>

Shortcut for Function Helper Dialog is now CTRL+F1 (CMD + F1 for Mac OS), CTRL+F (CMD+F1 for Mac OS) now opens Search Dialog.

</p>
<p>

By default, the TestCompiler now stores details of which pairs it has seen in Controller instances rather than in a static Set.
[
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53796">Bug 53796</a>
]
This gives much better memory behaviour for delayed start test plans, as memory used is proportional to the number of concurrent threads.
With the static Set memory usage was proportional to the total thread count.
This change is very unlikely to cause a problem.
The original behaviour can be restored by setting the property 
<code>
TestCompiler.useStaticSet=true
</code>


</p>
<p>

HTTPS Spoofing options have been removed from Proxy as HTTPS recording is directly available since JMeter 2.4.
