JMeter's toolbar has been refreshed for some icons (start, toogle, etc.). Three sizes are now avialable for the icons: 22x22, 32x32 and 48x48.

The property to define your prefered size is:

<pre>
jmeter.toolbar.icons.size=value
</pre>

with the value 22x22 (default size), 32x32 or 48x48.

Third party plugins may be impacted by fix of 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57586">Bug 57586</a>
, ensure that your subclass of HttpTestSampleGui implements ItemListener if you relied on parent class doing so.

<li>
Report package has been removed, ApacheJMeter_report.jar is not generated anymore as a consequence, see

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


<li>

The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads, 
the total number of threads only applies to a locally run test, otherwise it will show 0 (see 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55510">Bug 55510</a>
).

</li>


<li>

Note that there is a 
<a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6396599 ">
bug in Java
</a>

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. This issue is fixed since Java 7b05.

</li>


<li>

Note that under some windows systems you may have this WARNING:

<pre>

java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences 
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0
x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

</pre>

The fix is to run JMeter as Administrator, it will create the registry key for you, then you can restart JMeter as a normal user and you won't have the warning anymore.

</li>


<li>

With Java 1.6 and Gnome 3 on Linux systems, the JMeter menu may not work correctly (shift between mouse's click and the menu). 
This is a known Java bug (see  
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54477">Bug 54477</a>
). 
A workaround is to use a Java 7 runtime (OpenJDK or Oracle JDK).

</li>


<li>

With Oracle Java 7 and Mac Book Pro Retina Display, the JMeter GUI may look blurry. 
This is a known Java bug, see Bug 
<a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8000629">
JDK-8000629
</a>
.
A workaround is to use a Java 7 update 40 runtime which fixes this issue.

</li>


<li>

You may encounter the following error: 
<i>
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints
</i>

 if you run a HTTPS request on a web site with a SSL certificate (itself or one of SSL certificates in its chain of trust) with a signature
 algorithm using MD2 (like md2WithRSAEncryption) or with a SSL certificate with a size lower than 1024 bits.
This error is related to increased security in Java 7 version u16 (MD2) and version u40 (Certificate size lower than 1024 bits), and Java 8 too.

<br>


To allow you to perform your HTTPS request, you can downgrade the security of your Java installation by editing 
the Java 
<b>
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms
</b>
 property. Remove the MD2 value or the constraint on size, depending on your case.

<br>


This property is in this file:

<pre>
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
</pre>

See  
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56357">Bug 56357</a>
 for details.
