Jmeter 2.3.2 released, promising

On Saturday, routine online upgrades are available for a day and night.

I haven't paid much attention to opensource for a long time. I concentrated on the current development of several projects I care about: dotproject, Mantis, jmeter, watir, selenium, Ruby Win32 API project, tomcat, git, lighty.

The improvement of jmeter 2.3.2 is worth noting. In general, we are very optimistic about the future development of jmeter. Although there are few opportunities to use jmeter in our work, we recommend that you spend some time with your peers. Jmeter can handle many general applications.

Improvements

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 propertyProxy. Binary. Types.

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.

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

CSV fields in jtl files can now contain delimiters. CSV and XML files can now contain additional variables (define the jmeter PropertySample_variables).

Response assertion can now match on substrings (I. e. Not regular expression). RegEx extractor can operate on variables.

XPath processing is improved; tidy errors are handled better.

Save table data buttons added to summary and aggregate reports to allow easy saving of the calculated data.

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.

A simple HTTP cache manager has been added. This needs further development.

View results tree listener now uses tidy to display XML. This shocould allow more content to be displayed succesfully. It also avoids the need to download remote DTD files, which can slow the rendering considerably.

Mailreader sampler now supports pop3s and IMAPs protocols. Individual mails are now added as sub-samples.

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.

Number of classes loaded in non-Gui mode is much already CED.
