Release 4.3.0

Features

• Node replacement and restoring allows to get physically failed nodes back online without re-configuration. Feature Discovery
• Node conversion allows to integrate existing STANDALONE or MANAGED servers as NODE into another existing setup. Feature Discovery
• Feature discovery series videos will explain new features every release from now on, see the above links.

Improvements

• Work (a lot) on SonarCloud issues to bring them down to a manageable amount.
• Make sure to not show "old" data while loading the contents of pages.
• The Launcher now no longer uses cmd.exe to gather information (Windows OS Version, etc.) to avoid confusing error logs.
• Slightly improve error messages when template processing configuration files is not possible to include the reason.
• Further reduce the amount of records displayed per table group to improve performance at the cost of having to use the search slightly earlier.
• Properly show the tooltips on various buttons in the UI, especially ones without a label.
• Add proper validation of allowable range of number values for CLIENT_PORT and SERVER_PORT type parameters, both in the frontend as well as the backend, e.g. when updating to another product version.
• Improve product details UI to show references to dependencies.
• Add possibility to view product details to the product CLI.
• Improve error message when a parameter passed on the CLI misses an argument.
• Improve the existing instance "overall state" display in the instance browser to keep information persistent for a while, so that re-visiting the instance browser does not require re-fetching instance state for all instances.
• Improve the existing instance "overall state" to be fetchable as bulk operation for selected instances only, instead of the need to fetch the state for all instances in an instance group.
• Certain operations and connections now time out at some point to prevent soft-lockups and the need to restart a server in certain corner cases.
• Improve the error message in case a full authentication token cannot be parse at all (e.g. because it is not a valid full authentication token).
• The instance browser now allows to save global filter/grouping presets which are applied for all users which do not have their own saved preset.
• The usual third party dependency updates to keep BDeploy up to date.

Fixes

• Remove too aggressive HTTP resource caching which resulted in BDeploy not updating properly after a reload (after a server update).
• Fix a ConcurrentModificationException in the PCU while notifying listeners of state changes.
• Fix an issue where uses could confirm a manual start without entering the proper confirmation string and just hitting enter (even though the button was disabled).
• Fix an issue where wrong manifest insertion order when fetching/pushing could lead to issues with listeners trying to read those manifests at a point in time where references can not (yet) be resolved.
• Fix an issue where navigating within the BHive Browser would not clear the current search, and immediately filter all items on the new location.
• Fix an issue where deleting referenced dependencies of a product can be deleted despite the product version still requiring them in software repositories.
• Fix an issue where the user was not guided to attach existing instance groups to a CENTRAL server after migration from STANDALONE to MANAGED.
• Fix an issue where bad timing in requesting instance start, install of a newer version and instance stop would lead to a soft-lockup of a standalone or managed server.
