-<ch_title>New Async BackendListener with Graphite implementation</ch_title>
-<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.

<ch_section>Incompatible changes</ch_section>
<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
<bugzilla>57586</bugzilla>, 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 <bugzilla>57269</bugzilla></li>

export percentages to %, before they exported the decimal value which differed
from what was shown in GUI</li>

new BackendListener and Graphite Client implementation.</li>

+ <!-- =================== Known bugs =================== -->
+
+<ch_section>Known bugs</ch_section>
+
+<ul>
+<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 <bugzilla>55510</bugzilla>).
+</li>
+
+<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 <bugzilla>54477</bugzilla>).
+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></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></br>
+This property is in this file:
+<pre>JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security</pre>
+See <bugzilla>56357</bugzilla> for details.
