<!--  =================== 2.10 =================== -->

<h1>Version 2.10</h1>

<h2>New and Noteworthy</h2>

<!--  =================== Known bugs =================== -->

<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 <bugzilla>52496</bugzilla>).  
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>Webservice sampler does not consider the HTTP response status to compute the status of a response, thus a response 500 containing a non empty body will be considered as successful, see <bugzilla>54006</bugzilla>.
To workaround this issue, ensure you always read the response and add a Response Assertion checking text inside the response.
</p>

<p>
Changing language can break part of the configuration of the following elements (see <bugzilla>53679</bugzilla>):
<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>
The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads, 
these only apply to a locally run test; they do not include any threads started on remote systems when using client-server mode, (see <bugzilla>54152</bugzilla>).
</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>

<!-- =================== Incompatible changes =================== -->

<h2>Incompatible changes</h2>

<p>SMTP Sampler now uses eml file subject if subject field is empty</p>

<p>With this version autoFlush has been turned off on PrintWriter in charge of writing test results. 
This results in improved throughput for intensive tests but can result in more test data loss in case
of JMeter crash (very rare). To revert to previous behaviour set saving.autoflush property to true. </p>
