+<h2 class="ch_category">Core Improvements</h2>
 
+<h2 class="ch_title">Smarter Recording of Http Test Plans</h2>
+<p>Test Script Recorder has been improved in many ways</p>
 <ul>
+    <li>Better matching of Variables in Requests, making Test Script Recorder variabilize your sampler during recording more versatile</li>
+    <li>Ability to filter from View Results Tree the Samples that are excluded from recording, this lets you concentrate on recorded Samplers analysis and not bother with useless Sample Results
+    <figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/14_recorder_filter.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/14_recorder_filter.png" width="1094" height="647" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+    </li>
+    <li>Better defaults for recording, since this version Recorder will number created Samplers letting you find them much easily in View Results Tree. 
+    Grouping of Samplers under Transaction Controller will be smarter making all requests emitted by a web page be children as new Transaction Controller</li>
+</ul>
 
+<h2 class="ch_title">Support of Webdav requests</h2>
+<p>You can now test against WebDav server using HttpClient4 Implementation of Http Request</p>
+<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/13_webdav.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/13_webdav.png" width="989" height="406" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
 
-<li>
-CDN (Content Delivery Network)
-</li>
- 
+<h2 class="ch_title">Better handling of embedded resources</h2>
+<p>When download embedded resources is checked, JMeter now uses User Agent header to download or not resources embedded within conditionnal comments as per <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" target="_blank">About conditional comments</a>.</p>
 
-<li>
-DNS load balancing.
-</li>
+<h2 class="ch_title">Ability to customize Cache Manager (Browser cache simulation) handling of cached resources</h2>
+<p>You can now configure the behaviour of JMeter when a resource is found in Cache, this can be controlled with <i>cache_manager.cached_resource_mode</i> property</p>
+<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/12_cache_resource_mode.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.12/12_cache_resource_mode.png" width="1024" height="314" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
 
 
-<li>
-Load Balancers like Amazon Elastic Load Balancer
-</li>
+<h2 class="ch_title">JMS Publisher / JMS Point-to-Point</h2>
+<p> Add JMSPriority and JMSExpiration fields for these samplers.</p>

-</ul>
+<h2 class="ch_title">Mail Reader Sampler</h2>
+<p>You can now specify the number of messages that want you retrieve (before all messages were retrieved). 
+In addition, you can fetch only the message header now.</p>

-Since JMeter 2.12, active threads in all thread groups and active threads in current thread group are saved by default to CSV or XML results, see 
-<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57025">Bug 57025</a>
-. 
-This is usually the expected behaviour as you want to have the number of running threads during the test. But if you want to revert to previous behaviour, set property 
-<b>
-jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=false
-</b>

+<h2 class="ch_section" id="New and Noteworthy">New and Noteworthy</h2>

-Since JMeter 2.12, Mail Reader Sampler will show 1 for number of samples instead of number of messages retrieved, see

-</li>
+<h2 class="ch_title">HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder improvements</h2>
+<p>
+Following improvements have been made since major changes introduced in JMeter 2.10 on HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder:
+<ul>
+<li>Better detection of missing or invalid configuration of keytool utility</li>
+<li>New system property keytool.directory (see system.properties) lets you configure directory containing keytool in case on non-standard installation</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
 
+<h2 class="ch_title">JMS Publisher/Point to Point : Add ability to set typed values in JMS header properties</h2>
+<p>In the samplers JMS Publisher and JMS Point-to-Point, you can now set up the class of values for the JMS header properties. Previously only String was possible.</p>
+<p>
+<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.11/01_jms_properties_typed_values.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.11/01_jms_properties_typed_values.png" width="928" height="796" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+</p>
 
-<li>
-Since JMeter 2.12, when using Cache Manager, if resource is found in cache no SampleResult will be created, in previous version a SampleResult with empty content and 204 return code was returned, see 
-<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54778">Bug 54778</a>
-.
-You can choose between different ways to handle this case, see cache_manager.cached_resource_mode in jmeter.properties.

+<h2 class="ch_title">View Results Tree : Add an XPath Tester </h2>
+<p>In View Results Tree listener, a new XPath tester can be used to test XPATH expressions.</p>

+</p>
 
+<h2 class="ch_title">Ability to choose the client alias for the cert key in JsseSslManager such that Mutual SSL auth testing can be made more flexible</h2>
+<p>When testing client based certificate authentications you have now better control on certificate you use through a new field "Variable name holding certificate alias", this 
+field lets you select the certificate you want to send to server to authenticate. You can use a CSV Data Set as a holder for the variable value.</p>
