<h3class="ch_title">New Search Feature in View Results Tree to allow searching for text / regexp in Request/Responses/Headers/Cookies/… This will ease correlation and Test plans creation</h3>
<p>JSON is now a first class citizen in JMeter with the introduction of a new <ahref="http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/"target="_blank">JSONPath</a> post processor.
This post processor is very similar to Regular Expression Post Processor but is well suited for JSON code.
<h3class="ch_title">New validation feature, in one click run a selection of Thread Groups with <spanclass="code">1</span> user, no pause and <spanclass="code">1</span> iteration</h3>
<p>Just check <spanclass="code">Cache compiled script if available</span> checkbox and the elements (Pre-Processor, Post-Processor, Assertions, Listeners...) will pre-compile the script if underlying language supports it and cache the compiled code</p>
To enable <atarget="_blank"href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jf14-nashorn-2126515.html">Nashorn</a>, you need to set in <spanclass="code">user.properties</span>:
<ahref="http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jexl/"target="_blank">JEXL3</a> can now be used thanks to a new function <spanclass="code">__jexl3</span>.
<p>A new "<spanclass="code">Advanced</span>" tab has been added to HTTP Request to simplify configuration. The file upload feature has been moved into a dedicated tab.
This increases the space available for parameters in UI and simplifies the UX.</p>
<li><ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apdex"target="_blank">APDEX</a> table that computes for every transaction the APDEX based on configurable values for tolerated and satisfied thresholds</li>

<li>Support of recent RFC like <ahref="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265"target="_blank">HTTP State Management Mechanism RFC-6265 for Cookies</a>, you should use now <spanclass="code">HC4CookieHandler</span> in HTTP Cookie Manager component</li>
<li><ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication"target="_blank">Server Name Indication (SNI)</a> support for HttpClient4 implementation</li>
<li>Improved and better performing validation mechanism for Stale connections and Keep-Alive management, see properties <spanclass="code">httpclient4.validate_after_inactivity</span> and <spanclass="code">httpclient4.time_to_live</span></li>
<li>Many bug fixes since previous version 4.2.6 used in JMeter 2.13, see <ahref="http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpclient/RELEASE_NOTES-4.5.x.txt"target="_blank">HttpClient 4.5.X release notes</a></li>
<li>Better support of HTTP RFC 2616 / RFC 7230 and fixes to issues with <spanclass="code">deflate</span> compression management</li>
<li>Parsing of CSS imported files (through <spanclass="code">@import</span>) or embedded resources (background, images, …)</li>
<li>Lazy initialization of SSL context: For 15 Threads 138% more sampling in 5 minutes for HTTP only tests. Gain increases as number of threads increases</li>
<li>Rework of Connection management for Parallel Download: This now reproduces nowadays browsers behaviour and improved throughput. For 15 Threads 135% extra samples in 5 minutes.</li>
<li>Reuse of Threads used for Parallel downloads through a ThreadPool: This improves throughput and increases JMeter scalability for such tests</li>
<li>Total of 750% more throughput found on test with 15 threads, the more threads you have the more the gain</li>
<li>You can now compute and store just the MD5 of embedded resources instead of storing the entire response, this can be done by setting <spanclass="code">httpsampler.embedded_resources_use_md5=true</span> property</li>
<p>JDBC Request and JDBC Connection Configuration have been updated to replace old Excalibur Pool by Apache Commons DBCP2 pool. As a consequence properties have been migrated to equivalent
<p>Around 40 UI fixes have been made to either fix buggy, confusing behaviour or simplify usage by not allowing incompatible options to be selected</p>
<h3class="ch_title">Improved Thread Group UI and related actions (<spanclass="code">Start</span>, <spanclass="code">Start No Timers</span>, <spanclass="code">Validate</span>)</h3>
Creating and testing a Test Plan before Load Test has been much simplified by allowing you to only start a selection of Thread Group, start them without applying Timers (thus gaining time)
or start them using a new Validation mode. This validation mode allows you to start a Thread Group (without modifying it) with 1 thread, 1 iteration and without applying timers.
<p>Default values for many properties have been modified to make JMeter configuration optimal Out of the box. Read "Incompatible changes" section for more details.</p>
<p><ahref="http://www.groovy-lang.org/"target="_blank">Apache Groovy</a>, the well-known JVM scripting language, is now bundled with Apache JMeter in lib folder.
This allows you to use it immediately through JSR223 Elements by selecting the Groovy language.</p>
<p>You can now use <ahref="http://www.slf4j.org/"target="_blank">SLF4J</a> logging wrapper in your custom plugins or <spanclass="code">org.apache.jmeter.protocol.java.sampler.AbstractJavaSamplerClient</span> subclasses.</p>
<li>Since version 3.0, Groovy-2.4.6 is bundled with JMeter (<spanclass="code">lib</span> folder), ensure you remove old version or referenced versions through properties <spanclass="code">search_paths</span> or <spanclass="code">user.classpath</span></li>
<li>Since version 3.0, <spanclass="code">jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results_failure_message</span> property value is true, meaning CSV file for results will contain an additional column containing assertion result response message, see <ahref="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58978">

<li>Since version 3.0, <spanclass="code">jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names</span> property value is true, meaning CSV file for results will contain field names as first line in CSV, see <ahref="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58991">

<li>Since version 3.0, you can use Nashorn Engine (default javascript engine is Rhino) under Java8 for Elements that use Javascript Engine (<spanclass="code">__javaScript</span>, <spanclass="code">IfController</span>). If you want to use it, use property <spanclass="code">javascript.use_rhino=false</span>, see <ahref="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58406">
