<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>
Listeners don't show iteration counts when a If Controller has a condition which is always false from the first iteration (see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52496">Bug 52496</a>
).
A workaround is to add a sampler at the same level as (or superior to) the If Controller.
For example a Test Action sampler with 0 wait time (which doesn't generate a sample),
or a Debug Sampler with all fields set to False (to reduce the sample size).
</li>
<li>
Webservice sampler does not consider the HTTP response status to compute the status of a response, thus a response 500 containing a non empty body will be considered as successful, see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54006">Bug 54006</a>
.
To workaround this issue, ensure you always read the response and add a Response Assertion checking text inside the response.
</li>
<li>
The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads,
these only apply to a locally run test; they do not include any threads started on remote systems when using client-server mode, (see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54152">Bug 54152</a>
).

<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>
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="https://issues.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.

<b>

<li>
With this version autoFlush has been turned off on PrintWriter in charge of writing test results.
This results in improved throughput for intensive tests but can result in more test data loss in case
of JMeter crash (extremely rare). To revert to previous behaviour set
<code>
jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush

property to

true
</code>
.

The original key sequence

did not work in some locations (it is consumed by the Java Swing ToolTipManager).
It was therefore necessary to change the shortcut.

<li>
<b>

</li>
<li>
In previous versions,
<b>
IncludeController
</b>
could run Test Elements located inside a
<b>
Thread Group
</b>
, this behaviour (
<i>
which was not documented
</i>
)
ould result in weird behaviour, it has been removed in this version (see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55464">Bug 55464</a>
).
The correct way to include Test Elements is to use
<b>
Test Fragment
</b>
as stated in documentation of
<b>
Include Controller
</b>
.
</li>
<li>
The retry count for the HttpClient 3.1 and HttpClient 4.x samplers has been changed to
<b>
0
</b>
.
Previously the default was 1, which could cause unexpected additional traffic.
</li>
<li>
Starting with this version, the
<b>
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
</b>
tries to detect when a sample is the result of a previous
redirect. If the current response is a redirect, JMeter will save the redirect URL. When the next request is received,
it is compared with the saved redirect URL and if there is a match, JMeter will disable the generated sample.
To revert to previous behaviour, set the property
<code>
proxy.redirect.disabling=false
</code>
</li>
<li>
Starting with this version, in
<b>
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
</b>
if Grouping is set to
<i>
Put each group in a new Transaction Controller
</i>
,
the Recorder will create
<b>

</b>
instances with
