MULE-6298

AbstractMessageSequenceSplitter#process will now return null instead of a VoidMuleEvent. This affects only the scenario where the elements of a split collection are filtered out.

MULE-8626

The HTTP Connector will now ignore a "Connection" outbound property when responding to a request (listener) or making one (request), instead of transforming it to a header. This means that if such a property is desired, it should be explicitly added as a header using a response/request builder.

MULE-8676

The HTTP Connector will now ignore a "Transfer-Encoding" outbound property when sending a response instead of transforming it to a header. This means that if such a property is desired, it should be explicitly added as a header using a response builder.

MULE-8677

The HTTP Connector will now ignore a "Transfer-Encoding" outbound property when making a request instead of transforming it to a header. This means that if such a property is desired, it should be explicitly added as a header using a request builder.

MULE-8678

The HTTP Connector will now ignore a "Host" outbound property when making a request instead of transforming it to a header. This means that if such a property is desired, it should be explicitly added as a header using a request builder.

MULE-8844

When until-successful throws an exception, it will now be a RetryPolicyExhaustedException wrapping the cause of the exception of the last try instead of a MessagingException wrapping a RetryPolicyExhaustedException with no link to the actual cause.

MULE-8927

The attributes that end in an endpoint URI (for instance smtp user and passwords) had to be encoded as a workaround for this issue. That workaround now has to be removed. This also affects the result of MEL expressions (for instance, if an expression evaluated to a username with an @ char, it had to be encoded before using it), so a check has to be done to remove all the additional encoding that was put in place for this workaround.

MULE-8963

Exceptions that extend org.mule.api.MessagingException now receive the org.mule.api.processor.MessageProcessor that was executing in the constructor.

MULE-9041

The HTTP Connector will leave the inbound property http.remote.address with the actual remote address. If an X-Forwarded-For header is present, it will be available as an inbound property.

MULE-9044

The HTTP Listener will now return a 400 instead of a 500 when an invalid Content-Type is sent on a request. Additionally, in both cases a response body will be present.

MULE-9149

mule-module-jbpm was removed from standalone and embedded CE distributions. The following libraries were also removed as they are not required anymore: hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.Final.jar, hibernate-core-3.6.0.Final.jar, hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final.jar, jbpm-api-4.4.jar, jbpm-jpdl-4.4.jar, jbpm-log-4.4.jar, jbpm-pvm-4.4.jar, juel-engine-2.1.0.jar, juel-impl-2.2.1.jar, livetribe-jsr223-2.0.5.jar

MULE-9183

Status code for successful one-way operations handled through CXF will be 202 instead of 200.

MULE-9204

The default authentication method for a token request when using the oauth client credentials grant type will now be basic auth (using client id as user and client secret as password). If the previous authentication method is desired instead, then the "encodeCredentialsInBody" attribute of the token-request element should be set to "true".

MULE-9306

Losing flow and session variables when using MuleClient to dispatch/send an event. Exception strategy not caching exceptions after using MuleClient on a JavaComponent.

MULE-9324

When using a File inbound endpoint to poll a directory, an exception will be thrown if the directory to be polled doesn’t exist. That exception will be handled by the System Exception Strategy.

MULE-9334

When an SQLException occurs while executing a query, all ResultSets from that DB connection (i.e. multiple queries in the same transaction) that remain open will be closed.

MULE-9337

TLSv1 is no longer listed as an enabled protocol, by default only TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 will be enabled. If you want to use TLSv1 you can edit the TLS configuration file (tls-default.conf) and add it back to the enabled protocols entry.

MULE-9368

System property mule.sftp.knownHostsFile is now removed. Instead, the file with the known hosts must now be provided through the mule XML config file in the knownHostsFile attribute of the connector or the endpoints.

MULE-9383

HTTP Connector will allow invalid Content-Type header values. In order to strictly validate them as before, use the mule.strictContentType=true system property.

MULE-9405

MuleException instead of NPE is now thrown when setting a null value for a context-property in an XstlTransformation.

MULE-9501

The wildcard-filter will only work with prefix (.log), suffix (java.util.) or enclosing strings (util) patterns, as well as the deprecated payload based filter (java.lang.Throwable+) and regular strings.In any other case no match will be possible, regardless of the input. The regex-filter should be used for other cases. This also affects the wildcard patterns allowed by the file-wildcard-filter, request-wildcard-filter, expression-filter, message-property-filter, exceptions strategies commit-transaction and rollback transaction exception patterns, wildcard patterns used in expressions, and more (a complete list can be found in https://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/MULE-9501).

MULE-9533

JMS Outbound endpoint does not respect response timeout. Because the JMS outbound endpoint now uses the endpoint 'responseTimeout' attribute, it will no longer respect any timeout value set directly on the MuleEvent via the API. To mitigate this, configure the desired timeout via the 'responseTimeout' attribute on the endpoint element.

MULE-9018

EE-4724

Upgrade Kryo to 3.0.3

EE-4882

Upgrade Tanuki Wrapper to version 3.5.29 or newer. With this upgrade, there’s a change in certificate signing of the wrapper binaries. In some cases, users face an error when they try to run Mule Standalone as a service in Windows. This is because the certificate provided by the corresponding authority is not properly configured in the server. To address this, see the Tanuki Software Troubleshooting Guide, which explains how to resolve the issue
