+<p>
+JMeter now requires Java 8. Ensure you use the most up to date version.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+JMeter logging has been migrated to SLF4J and Log4j 2.
+This affects configuration and 3<sup>rd</sup> party plugins, see below <b>"Logging changes"</b>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Starting with JMeter version 3.2 the number of results in View Results Tree is
+limited by default to 500 entries. If you want more entries, you have to set
+the property <span class="code">view.results.tree.max_results</span> to a higher value, or to <span class="code">0</span>, if
+you don't want to impose any limit.
+You can set the property in bin/user.properties.
+More info might be found <a href="usermanual/component_reference.html#View_Results_Tree">here</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h3 class="ch_title">Core improvements</h3>

+
+<li>JMeter now provides a new BackendListener implementation that interfaces InfluxDB.

+</figure>
+This implementation sends data using Asynchronous HTTP calls to InfluxDB through its <a href="https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.2/guides/writing_data/">HTTP API</a>
+and give you the following graphs with annotations:

+
+<li>HTTP HC4 Implementation now provides preemptive Basic Auth enabled by default</li>
+
+<li>Embedded resources download in CSS has been improved to avoid useless repetitive parsing to find the resources</li>
+
+<li>An important work on code quality and code coverage with tests has been done since Sonar has been setup on the project.
+You can see Sonar report <a href="https://builds.apache.org/analysis/overview?id=12927">here</a>.
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3 class="ch_title">UX improvements</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>When running a Test, GUI is now more responsive and less impacting on memory usage thanks to a limitation on the number of Sample Results
+listeners hold and a rework of the way GUI is updated</li>
+
+<li>HTTP Request GUI has been simplified and provides more place for parameters and body.

+
+</li>
+
+<li>View Results Tree now provides a more up to date Browser renderer which requires JavaFX.</li>
+
+<li>You can now add through a contextual menu think times, this will add think times between samplers and Transaction Controllers
+ of selected node.

+ through <span class="code"><a href="./api/org/apache/jmeter/gui/action/TreeNodeNamingPolicy.html">org.apache.jmeter.gui.action.TreeNodeNamingPolicy</a></span>

+It is now possible to customize APDEX thresholds per transaction based on regular expression or sample name.
+The below example will apply different thresholds for samples sample(\\d+), sampleA and scenarioB
+than default ones (500 and 1500 for satisfied and tolerated thresholds) declared:
+<pre class="source">

+
+<li>JMeter requires now at least a Java 8 version to run.</li>
+
+<li>JMeter logging has been migrated to SLF4J and Log4j 2, this involves changes in the way configuration is done. JMeter now relies on standard
+ <a href="https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html">Log4j 2 configuration</a> in file <span class="code">log4j2.xml</span>
+ See <span class="code">Logging changes</span> section below for further details.

+
+<li>The following jars have been removed after migration from LogKit to SLF4J (see <a href="https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60589">
+ Bug

+
+<li>JMeter now uses by default Oracle Nashorn engine instead of Mozilla Rhino for better performances. This should not have an impact unless
+ you use some advanced features. You can revert back to Rhino by settings property <span class="code">javascript.use_rhino=true</span>.

+<h3>Logging changes</h3>
+
+<p>
+ JMeter logging has been migrated to SLF4J and Log4j 2.
+ This affects logging configuration and 3<sup>rd</sup> party plugins (if they use JMeter logging).
+ The following sections describe what changes need to be made.
+</p>
+
+
+<h4>Setting the logging level and log file</h4>
+
+<p>
+ The default logging level can be changed on the command-line using the <span class="code">-L</span> parameter.
+ Likewise the <span class="code">-l</span> parameter can be used to change the name of the log file.
+ However the <span class="code">log_level</span> properties no longer work.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The default logging levels and file name are defined in the <span class="code">log4j2.xml</span> configuration file
+ in the launch directory (usually <span class="code">JMETER_HOME/bin</span>)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+
+<div class="clear"></div>
+<div class="note">If you need to change the level programmatically from Groovy code or Beanshell, you need to do the following:
+ <pre class="source">
+ import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.Configurator;
+ ⋮
+ final String loggerName = te.getClass().getName(); // te being a JMeter class
+ Configurator.setAllLevels(loggerName, Level.DEBUG);
+ </pre>
+
+</div>
+<div class="clear"></div>
+
+</p>
+
+
+<h4>Changes to 3<sup>rd</sup> party plugin logging</h4>
+
+<p>
+
+<div class="clear"></div>
+<div class="note">3rd party plugins should migrate their logging code from logkit to slf4j. This is fairly easy and can be done by replacing:
+ <pre class="source">
+ import org.apache.jorphan.logging.LoggingManager;
+ import org.apache.log.Logger;
+ ⋮
+ private static final Logger log = LoggingManager.getLoggerForClass();
+ </pre>
+ By:
+ <pre class="source">
+ import org.slf4j.Logger;
+ import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
+ ⋮
+ private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(YourClassName.class);
+ </pre>
+
+</div>
+<div class="clear"></div>

<h2 class="ch_section" id="New Metrics">New Metrics</h2>
+
<p>
A new <span class="code">sent_bytes</span> metric has been introduced which reports the bytes sent to server.<br>
Another metric <span class="code">connect_time</span> has been enabled by default in this version
</p>
+
<h2 class="ch_section" id="Handling Big responses">Handling Big responses</h2>
+
<p>
JMeter is now able to handle in terms of metrics responses bigger than 2GB, limit has been increased to 9223372 TB.<br>
To handle such big responses, it can also now truncate part of the response to avoid overflooding memory. See <span class="code">httpsampler.max_bytes_to_store_per_request</span> property.
</p>
+
<h2 class="ch_section" id="New __groovy function">New <span class="code">__groovy</span> function</h2>
+
<p>
Introduce a new function <span class="code">__groovy</span> that enables Groovy functions. This can be handy, as JavaScript can be quite slow (same for BeanShell), when used in highly concurrent test plans.
</p>
+
<h2 class="ch_section" id="Use Groovy as default for JSR-223 elements">Use Groovy as default for JSR-223 elements</h2>
+
<p>
Groovy is now set as the default language for JSR-223 elements. If you want to use another of the supported language, you have to make an explicit choice.
</p>
