generation</li>
-<li>A new Tools menu has been introduced to collect those entries, that are
used for general usage around JMeter, like taking a heap dump</li>

add compatibility with JDBC drivers that do not support QueryTimeout</li>
<li>Various bug fixes have been implemented, like gathering the correct
headers when recording requests through the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder using
HTTPS</li>
+<li>In version 5.0, JMeter was changed to rename Sub results using a custom
Naming Policy (<bugzilla>62550</bugzilla>). This change could be annoying for
Functional Testing, a new property
+<code>subresults.disable_renaming=true</code> has been introduced to revert if
needed to previous behaviour. An alternative is to check <code>Functional Test
Mode</code> in Test Plan, see <bugzilla>63055</bugzilla></li>

<li>In <code>Response Time Percentiles Over Time (successful responses)</code>
graph of the HTML report, before this version, percentile computation of each
time slot used the percentile data
of previous time slot as a base. Starting with this version, each time slot is
independant. See <bugzilla>62883</bugzilla></li>

<li><code>slf4j-ext</code> has been removed from libraries (lib folder) and
JMeter pom. It was not used by default and due to CVE-2018-8088 and
unavailability of a stable version
containing a fix to this issue, we decided to remove it. If you still needed,
you can add it in lib folder.</li>
