44547	Fixes the issue related to added/deleted objects after a new scan of the application containing HTML / .NET source code.
44472	A fix has been implemented to deal with the recurring issue of added/removed artifacts when using the "fast scan" mode and uploading new source code for a previously analyzed application. This issue (caused by a change to the objects' GUIDs for each new version of source code) was primarily seen with SQL analyses, but other technologies were also affected. Please note that SQL artifacts will be added/removed one last time in the following situation: SQL Analyzer 3.6 or an older release is used, and the source code ZIP file containing only one folder at its root with the name of the folder matching the ZIP filename, and where it is the first analysis after upgrading from CAST Imaging Console 2.11.0-funcrel (or a lower release) to CAST Imaging Console 2.11.1-funcrel (or a higher release).

2.11.0-funcrel

Note

When performing an in-place upgrade to this release (or any future release), the existing Microsoft Windows log service (which managed logs and alerts in previous releases) will be removed (if it exists on the machine). See WEBI-14477 under "Other updates" below.

Other Updates

Internal Id	Details
WEBI-14477	A new log module integrated into CAST Imaging Console will now manage logs and alerts. When performing an in-place upgrade to this release (or any future release), the existing Microsoft Windows log service (which managed logs and alerts in previous releases) will be removed (if it exists on the machine).
WEBI-16030	A change in the behaviour of the Security Dataflow settings has been implemented: When onboarding new application in fast scan mode the Security Dataflow options will always be set to false. This is because it is costly to run these checks for applications that may not require them. As such, if these checks are required, the relevant options must be enabled manually.
WEBI-15929	The code-scanner-config.xml file (available on the node) has been updated to include specific settings to enable the "DART/Flutter" technology to be discovered automatically. Note that the associated extension for DART/Flutter is a "Labs" extension.

44354	Fxes the issue related to the display of excluded files from version view.
44218	Fixes the issues related to Extension strategy where the Extension versions were getting auto updated even though the Auto update is switched off. Now when the global auto update is off, the extensions are locked to latest version selected. Even when there is new version available, it is not updated automatically, it displays the version in the drop-down of versions.
43940	Fixes the issue related LOC mismatch between CAST Imaging Console and CAST Imaging Viewer for the markup languages.
43080	Fixes the issue related to the UI display in CAST Imaging Console which was not automatically refreshing after finishing a job.

2.11.0-beta1

Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Admin Center - Include Debug Messages option	The behaviour of the "Include Debug Messages" option available in the Admin Center (Applications > View details > Debug options) has been modified: the option will return to the disabled position automatically immediately after the next analysis job has completed. This is so that debug messages are only made available in the analysis log file when the are required: if the option is left enabled for all analyses, analysis log messages can become very large. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Applications+-+Application+Details#AdministrationCenterApplicationsApplicationDetails-Debugoptions.
UI - Job Progress panel - Alerts - View Remedy button	Improvements have been implemented to the "View Remedy" button for alerts displayed in the Job Progress panel: 1) for "unanalyzed file" type alerts, a list of unanalzyed files is now provided which can be downloaded, 2) for analysis indicator alerts, on clicking the title of the alert, the "analysis results indicators" section in the Overview page is displayed, 3) for missing jars alert types, the names of the missing jars is now provided which can be downloaded. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/AIP+Console+-+Job+Progress+panel#AIPConsoleJobProgresspanel-RighthandAlertspanel.
UI - Admin Center - Delete Application behaviour	When deleting an application (single or in bulk), a new option has been added to the warning dialog box called "Keep backup files" which (when ticked) will ensure that any backup/Sherlock data on disk is retained. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Applications.
Technical - New Analysis / Snapshot Indicator - Transactions with high number of objects	A new analysis/snapshot indicator has been implemented called "Transactions with high number of objects". This indicator is available after the analysis/snapshot is complete and lists transactions that are highly complex with a large number of objects. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Application+-+Overview+with+Fast+Scan#ApplicationOverviewwithFastScan-available_snapshotAvailableIndicators.
UI - Admin Center - Global Configurations - Alert Settings - Log Message IDs	A new section has been added to the Admin Center - Global Configurations - Alert Settings panel called "Log Message IDs": this allows you to create custom alerts based on a specific Log Message IDs found in the analysis log - in other words, when a Log Message ID is added to the list, whenever that specific Log Message is encountered during an analysis, a custom alert will be displayed. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings#AdministrationCenterSettingsAlertSettings-LogMessageIDssection.
UI - Admin Center - Global Configurations - Alert Settings - Request validation for all alerts	A new option has been added called "Request validation for all alerts": when enabled, the option "Alerts have been reviewed and validated" is added in to the "Job Progress panel", "Overview with Fast Scan panel" and "Application - Logs panel, and until the check box is ticked, the "Upload to Imaging" will not complete. The goal of this option is to ensure that users do not ignore alerts that have been displayed during the analysis process. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings#AdministrationCenterSettingsAlertSettings-Requestvalidationforallalerts.
Technical - Automatic UTF-8 conversion feature	An improvement has been implemented in the "Automatic UTF-8 conversion feature": if the "application.sourceCodeFiles.conversionToUtf8.backupFiles" is set to true and if over the time several versions of the same files are delivered, their repeated conversion to UTF-8 will result in repeated creation of backup files since their filenames are timestamped. To avoid the accumulation of outdated backup files, once the conversion of all application files to UTF-8 has completed, only the most recent backup of each file that has again be converted to UTF-8 is kept. For more information see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Configuring+the+automatic+UTF-8+conversion+feature.
UI - Admin Center - Glorbal Configurations - Alert Settings - Thresholds	A new section has been added to the Admin Center - Global Configurations - Alert Settings panel called "Thresholds": this section allows you to modify the thresholds set for two specific alerts related to unanalyzed files - see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings. In Console 2.9, these thresholds were configured only in the Node .yml configuration file (see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Configuring+unanalyzed+alert+thresholds). If you have set custom values for these thresholds using this method in Console 2.9 and you action an in-place upgrade to a more recent release of CAST Console, the custom values will be lost and you will need to re-set them using the UI in the Admin Center.
