Install Monthly Patch Releases

MuleSoft releases cumulative Mule patches on a regular basis, typically once per month. The patch version specifies a Mule version and a patch identifier. Unlike the Mule upgrade process, which is for upgrades to a new minor version of Mule (version n.x to n.y) or to a new patch version (n.x.y to n.x.z), the cumulative patching process applies the latest bug fixes and security enhancements to a specific patch version of Mule. Installing a patch to the wrong Mule version can lead to instabilities and result in issues that are difficult to debug.

Note: Before applying the patch in a production environment, run your MUnit tests on new versions of Mule to validate the application’s behavior with that version.

The following procedure is for updating a patch version of an existing Mule instance:

Stop your Mule instance.
Extract the content of the ZIP file that contains the cumulative patch.
Before proceeding with the installation, review the extracted README file to understand any version-specific steps for installing the patch.
Back up the original content of the MULE_HOME/lib/patches and MULE_HOME/services directories.
Remove any previous patch files from MULE_HOME/lib/patches.

Important: Do not remove the patches within the MULE_HOME/lib/patches/mule-artifact-patches directory.
Copy the new mule-ee-distribution-standalone-X.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD-patch.jar into MULE_HOME/lib/patches.

Retain the following in the MULE_HOME/lib/patches directory:
- mule-ee-distribution-standalone-4.1.6-patch.jar
- MULE_HOME/lib/patches/mule-artifact-patches
Starting at step 2 in the README file, complete the version-specific service patching instructions.
Restart the Mule instance to pick up the patch.

For more guidance with the patching process, see the support article, How to apply patches to Mule 4.x.

CloudHub and Anypoint Runtime Fabric follow different patching processes.

May 2021

Patch release version: 4.1.6-20210419

For guidance with the patching process, see Install Monthly Patch Releases.

The default for the DataWeave XML reader property supportDtd changes to false in this release. The new default is described in fixed issue DW-377.

This change affects Mule versions 3.9.5, 4.1.6, and 4.2.2 for on-premises Mule, CloudHub, and other hosted or embedded runtimes, including Anypoint Runtime Fabric and Anypoint Studio. Future patches to these releases and future minor releases of Mule will also incorporate the new default.

To address this change, see Change of Behavior with DataWeave Functionality on May 4, 2021.

The May update addresses the following issues:

Issue Description

Issue	Description
DW-377	DataWeave: Support for XML DTD validation is disabled by default. To enable XML DTD validation, use the `com.mulesoft.dw.xml.supportDTD` system property or the `supportDtd` XML reader property.
