<p>
Test Script Recorder has been improved in many ways
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Better matching of Variables in Requests, making Test Script Recorder variabilize your sampler during recording more versatile
</li>
<li>
Ability to filter from View Results Tree the Samples that are excluded from recording, this lets you concentrate on recorded Samplers analysis and not bother with useless Sample Results

</li>
<li>
Better defaults for recording, since this version Recorder will number created Samplers letting you find them much easily in View Results Tree.
Grouping of Samplers under Transaction Controller will be smarter making all requests emitted by a web page be children as new Transaction Controller

<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
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55510">Bug 55510</a>
).
</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
<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.
</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>
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>
This property is in this file:
<pre>
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
</pre>
See
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56357">Bug 56357</a>

Since JMeter 2.12, active threads in all thread groups and active threads in current thread group are saved by default to CSV or XML results, see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57025">Bug 57025</a>
.
This is usually the expected behaviour as you want to have the number of running threads during the test. But if you want to revert to previous behaviour, set property
<b>
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=false
</b>
</li>
<li>
Since JMeter 2.12, Mail Reader Sampler will show 1 for number of samples instead of number of messages retrieved, see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56539">Bug 56539</a>
</li>
<li>
Since JMeter 2.12, when using Cache Manager, if resource is found in cache no SampleResult will be created, in previous version a SampleResult with empty content and 204 return code was returned, see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54778">Bug 54778</a>
.
You can choose between different ways to handle this case, see cache_manager.cached_resource_mode in jmeter.properties.
</li>
<li>
Since JMeter 2.12, Log Viewer will no more clear logs when closed and will have logs available even if closed. See
