-<h2>Version 2.3.2</h2>
+<h2>Version 2.3.3</h2>
<h3>Summary of main changes</h3>
<h4>Bug fixes</h4>
<p>
-Version 2.3.1 changed the way binary and text content types were determined as
far as the View Results Tree Listener was concerned:
-originally everything except "image/" content types were considered text, but
2.3.1 introduced a check
-for specific content types. This has caused problems,
-as several popular types were omitted and these were no longer shown by
default in the Response tab.
-Rather than try to list all the possible text types, JMeter now just checks
for the following binary types:
-<ul>
-<li>image/*</li>
-<li>audio/*</li>
-<li>video/*</li>
-</ul>
-All other types are now assumed to be text.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-JMeter 2.3.1 introduced a bug in the Cookie Manager
-- if "Clear Cookie each iteration" was selected, all threads would see the
same cookies.
-This bug has been corrected.
</p>
<h4>Improvements</h4>
<p>
-The Proxy server can now record binary requests.
-By default the content types
-application/x-amf and application/x-java-serialized-object
-will be treated as binary and saved in a file.
-To change the content types, update the property <b>proxy.binary.types</b>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The CSV Dataset configuration element has new file sharing options: per thread
group, per thread, per identifier.
-This allows for more flexible file processing, e.g. each thread can process
the same data in the same order.
</p>
-<p>Switch Controller now works properly with functions and variables,
-and the condition can now be a name instead of a number.
-Simple Controller now works properly under a While Controller</p>
-
-<p>CSV fields in JTL files can now contain delimiters.
-CSV and XML files can now contain additional variables (define the JMeter
property <b>sample_variables</b>).</p>
-
-<p>Response Assertion can now match on substrings (i.e. not regular
expression).
-Regex extractor can operate on variables.</p>
-
-<p>
-XPath processing is improved; Tidy errors are handled better.
-</p>
-
-<p>Save Table Data buttons added to Summary and Aggregate reports to allow
easy saving of the calculated data.</p>
-
-<p>
-HTTP samplers can now save just the MD5 hash of responses, rather than the
entire response.
-As a special case, if the HTTP Sampler path starts with "http://"; or
"https://"; then this is used as the full URL,
-overriding the host and port fields.
-The HTTP Samplers can now POST multiple files.
-Webservice(SOAP) Sampler can now load local WSDL files using the "file:"
protocol.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-A simple HTTP Cache Manager has been added. This needs further development.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-View Results Tree Listener now uses Tidy to display XML.
-This should allow more content to be displayed succesfully.
-It also avoids the need to download remote DTD files, which can slow the
rendering considerably.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-MailReader sampler now supports POP3S and IMAPS protocols. Individual mails
are now added as sub-samples.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Various improvements to the BSF Sampler: now supports Jexl, and Javascript bug
works properly.
-Added BSF PreProcessor, PostProcessor and Assertion test elements.
-All now have access to "props" JMeter Properties object.
-</p>
-
-<p>Number of classes loaded in non-GUI mode is much reduced.</p>

-To reduce the number of classes loaded in non-GUI mode,
