<h2 class="ch_section" id="New and Noteworthy">New and Noteworthy</h2>
<h2 class="ch_category">New Elements</h2>
<h2 class="ch_title">New Async BackendListener with Graphite implementation</h2>
<p>A new Async BackendListener has been added to allow sending result data to a backend listener.
JMeter ships with a GraphiteBackendListenerClient that allows sending results to a <a href="http://graphite.wikidot.com/" target="_blank">Graphite</a> server using Pickle ot Plaintext protocols.
You can implement your own backend by extending <a href="./api/org/apache/jmeter/visualizers/backend/AbstractBackendListenerClient.html">AbstractBackendListenerClient</a>. This backend could be
a database (JDBC), a Message Oriented Middleware (JMS), a Webservice or anything you want.
</p>

<p>This is the kind of Live Dashboard you can obtain using <a href="http://grafana.org/" target="_blank">Grafana</a> and <a href="http://influxdb.com/" target="_blank">InfluxDB</a><br>
Read <a href="./usermanual/realtime-results.html">this</a> for more details.</p>

<h2 class="ch_category">Core Improvements</h2>
<h2 class="ch_title">New connect time metric</h2>
<p>Starting with this version a new metric called connectTime has been added. It represents the time to establish connection.
By default it is not saved to CSV or XML, to have it saved add to user.properties:<br>
<span class="code">
jmeter.save.saveservice.connect_time=true
</span>
</p>
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/connect_time_table.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/connect_time_table.png" width="1058" height="193" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/connect_time_tree.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/connect_time_tree.png" width="665" height="651" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<h2 class="ch_title">Aggregate Graph and Report</h2>
<p>The listeners Aggregate Graph and Aggregate Report previously showed only the 90 percentile (historical behavior), the 95 percentile and the 99 percentile have been added and are customizable.
To setup the percentiles value you want, add to user.properties:<br>
<span class="code">
aggregate_rpt_pct1=90<br>
aggregate_rpt_pct2=95<br>
aggregate_rpt_pct3=99
</span>
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/aggregate_graph_new_percentile.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/aggregate_graph_new_percentile.png" width="801" height="681" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder</h2>
<p>Now component is able to detect authentication schemes and automatically adds a pre-configured HTTP Authorization Manager with the correct Mechanism.
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">HTTP Request</h2>
<p>The CalDAV verbs (Calendar extensions to WebDAV) REPORT and MKCALENDAR have been added in the HTTP Request sampler.
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/new_methods_caldav.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/new_methods_caldav.png" width="716" height="324" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">JDBC Request</h2>
<p>The ResultSet can be get as a object, this allows to handle more easily the results after in BeanShell, JSR223 scripts...
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/jdbc_resultset_handler.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/jdbc_resultset_handler.png" width="683" height="628" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">Distributed Testing</h2>
<p>To allow better usage of Distributed Testing in the cloud, retry behaviour has been added when starting test on servers.
Read <a href="./usermanual/remote-test.html#retries">this</a> for more details.
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/distributed_retry.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/distributed_retry.png" width="669" height="202" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">Distributed Testing performance</h2>
<p>Since JMeter 2.13, Stripping modes (StrippingBatch being the default mode) now also strip responses from SubResults improving consumed network bandwidth.
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">Documentation refresh</h2>
<p>A new style for website (responsive and more up to date) has been created by Felix Schumacher.
Documentations have been refreshed particularly:
<ul>
<li><a href="./usermanual/build-ws-test-plan.html">Building a Webservice Test Plan</a></li>
<li><a href="./usermanual/best-practices.html">Best Practices</a></li>
<li><a href="./usermanual/boss.html">Help! My boss wants me to load test our application!</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_category">GUI Improvements</h2>
<h2 class="ch_title">Module Controller</h2>
<p>The Module Controller now shows the target controller in a tree view (instead of combo list).
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/module_controller_tree_view.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/module_controller_tree_view.png" width="306" height="372" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">Toolbar</h2>
<p>JMeter's toolbar has been refreshed for some icons (start, toogle, etc.). Three sizes are now avialable for the icons: 22x22, 32x32 and 48x48.<br>
The property to define your prefered size is:
<pre>jmeter.toolbar.icons.size=value</pre>
with the value 22x22 (default size), 32x32 or 48x48.</p>
<p>The toolbar with 22x22 pixels icons

</p>
<h2 class="ch_title">HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder</h2>
<p>If your Test Plan does not contains a Recording Controller, a new warning message will appear if the
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is configured to send the samples into a Recording Controller.
<figure><a href="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/warning_message_proxy.png"><img src="./images/screenshots/changes/2.13/warning_message_proxy.png" width="858" height="386" alt=""></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
</p>
<h2 class="ch_section" id="Incompatible changes">Incompatible changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Since 2.13, Aggregate Graph, Summary Report and Aggregate Report now export percentages to %, before they exported the decimal value which differed from what was shown in GUI</li>
<li>Third party plugins may be impacted by fix of <a href="http://bz.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>
<li>Report package has been removed, ApacheJMeter_report.jar is not generated anymore as a consequence, see <a href="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57269">

<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="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55510">
Bug

</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="http://bz.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="http://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56357">
