<h4>* HttpSampler now allows DELETE Http Method to have a body (works for HC4 and HC31 implementations). This allows for example to test Elastic Search APIs</h4>
<li>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>).
<li>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>.
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>).
Webservice (SOAP) Request has been removed by default from GUI as Element is deprecated (use HTTP Sampler with Raw Post body), if you need to show it, see property not_in_menu in jmeter.properties
Transaction Controller now sets Response Code of Generated Parent Sampler (if Generate Parent Sampler is checked) to response code of first failing child in case of failure of one of the children, in previous versions Response Code was empty.
<p>commons-lang-2.6.jar has been removed from embedded libraries in jmeter/lib folder. If you use any plugin or third-party code that depends on it, you need to add it in jmeter/lib folder</p>
