History of Changes

> Changes are chronologically ordered from top (most recent) to bottom (least recent)

> ### Version 2.1.2

> #### Incompatible changes:

> The time stamp is now set to the sampler start time (it was the end). To revert to the previous behaviour, change the property sampleresult.timestamp.start to false (or comment it)

> The JMX output format has been simplified and files are not backwards compatible

> The JMeter.BAT file no longer changes directory to JMeter home, but runs from the current working directory. The jmeter-n.bat and jmeter-t.bat files change to the directory containing the input file.

> Listeners are now started slightly later in order to allow variable names to be used. This may cause some problems; if so define the following in jmeter.properties:
> jmeterengine.startlistenerslater=false

> #### Known problems:

> - Module Controller does not work in non-GUI mode
> - Aggregate Report and some other listeners use increasing amounts of memory as a test progresses
> - Does not always handle non-default encoding properly
> - Spaces in the installation path cause problems for client-server mode
> - Change of Language does not propagate to all test elements
> - SamplingStatCalculator keeps a List of all samples for calculation purposes; this can cause memory exhaustion in long-running tests

> ### Version 1.5

> - Abstracted out the concept of the Sampler, SamplerController, and TestSample. A Sampler represents code that understands a protocol (such as HTTP, or FTP, RMI, SMTP, etc..). It is the code that actually makes the connection to whatever is being tested. A SamplerController represents code that understands how to organize and run a group of test samples. It is what binds together a Sampler and it's test samples and runs them. A TestSample represents code that understands how to gather information from the user about a particular test. For a website, it would represent a URL and any information to be sent with the URL.
> - The UI has been updated to make entering test samples more convenient.
> - Thread groups have been added, allowing a user to setup multiple test to run concurrently, and to allow sharing of test samples between those tests.
> - It is now possible to save and load test samples.
> - ....and many more minor changes/improvements...
