<h3>Known bugs</h3>

<p>
The Include Controller has some problems in non-GUI mode. 
In particular, it can cause a NullPointerException if there are two include controllers with the same name.
</p>

<p>Once Only controller behaves OK under a Thread Group or Loop Controller,
but otherwise its behaviour is not consistent (or clearly specified).</p>

<p>
The menu item Options / Choose Language does not change all the displayed text to the new language.
To override the default local language, set the JMeter property "language" before starting JMeter. 
</p>

<h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
<p>
The test element "Save Results to a file" is now shown as a Listener.
It was previously shown as a Post-Processor, even though it was in fact a Listener.
This change only affects the icon that is displayed and the location in the Gui pop-up menus.
It does not affect test plans or test behaviour.
</p>

Moved the Scoping Rules sub-section from Section 3. "Building a Test Plan"  to Section 4. "Elements of a test plan"
