New Features

SummaryDetails
New executable JAR with installerA new executable JAR file (to replace the .ZIP files shipped in releases 2.0 - 2.4) is now provided in the install media along with the traditional WAR file. This executable JAR file implements a wizard installer to improve the deployment process. The configuration of user authentication, CAST Storage Service/PostgreSQL instances, dashboard/central and measurement schemas and a Windows Service are now configured directly in the installer. The executable JAR file can be deployed on both Microsoft Windows and Linux and in UI or console/cli mode. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DASHBOARDS/Standalone+Engineering+Dashboard+deployment+using+JAR+file and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DASHBOARDS/Standalone+Health+Dashboard+deployment+using+JAR+file.
License key support from admin UIIt is now possible to add a new or update an existing Dashboard license key using the UI (previously the license key had to be provided in a text file called "license.key"). This option is available only to the users with the ADMIN role. The legacy "license.key" file can still be used if necessary. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/DASHBOARDS/Dashboard+Service+license+key+configuration.
