<h3>
Plugin writers
</h3>
<p>
New interface org.apache.jmeter.engine.util.ConfigMergabilityIndicator has been introduced to tell whether a ConfigTestElement can be merged in Sampler (see Bug 53042):
<br>
<pre>
public boolean applies(ConfigTestElement configElement);
</pre>
</p>
<p>
New interface org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy.SamplerCreator to allow plugging HTTP based samplers that differ from default HTTP Samplers through Proxy during Recording Phase (see Bug 52674):
<br>
<pre>
public String[] getManagedContentTypes();
</pre>
<pre>
public HTTPSamplerBase createSampler(HttpRequestHdr request, Map<String, String> pageEncodings, Map<String, String> formEncodings);
</pre>
<pre>
public void populateSampler(HTTPSamplerBase sampler, HttpRequestHdr request, Map<String, String> pageEncodings, Map<String, String> formEncodings) throws Exception;
</pre>
</p>
<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 Bug 52496).
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>
<h2>
Incompatible changes
</h2>
<p>
When doing replacement of User Defined Variables, Proxy will not substitute partial values anymore when "Regexp matching" is used. It will use Perl 5 word matching ("\b")
</p>
<p>
In User Defined Variables, Test Plan, HTTP Sampler Arguments Table, Java Request Defaults, JMS Sampler and Publisher, LDAP Request Defaults and LDAP Extended Request Defaults, rows with
empty Name and Value are no more saved.
</p>
<p>
JMeter now expands the Test Plan tree to the testplan level and no further and selects the root of the tree. Furthermore default value of onload.expandtree is false.
</p>
<p>
Graph Full Results Listener has been removed.
</p>
<p>
When calling "Clear All" command, if Log Viewer is displayed its content will be cleared.
</p>

Upgraded to rhino 1.7R3 (was js-1.7R2.jar).
