<h2>Summary of main changes</h2>
-<h3>Bug fixes</h3>
+<p>
+The handling of test closedown is much improved.
+The gradual "Shutdown" command now waits until all threads have stopped,
+and does not report an error if threads don't stop within 5 seconds.
+The immediate "Stop" command can now be used if "Shutdown" takes too long.
+Also the immediate "Stop" command is able to interrupt samplers which support
the new Interruptible interface (e.g. HTTP and SOAP, FTP).
+This allows immediate completion of pending responses.
+Non-GUI mode tests can also now be sent a "Shutdown" or "Stop" message.
+<complink name="Test Action"/> now supports a "Stop Now" action,
+as do the <complink name="Thread Group"/> and <complink name="Result Status
Action Handler"/> Post Processor elements.
+</p>
<p>
-<ul>
-</ul>
+HTTP Cookie handling is improved, and HTTP POST can now use variable file
names correctly.
+HTTP, SOAP/XML-RPC and WebService(SOAP) sampler character encodings updated to
be more consistent.
+HTTP Samplers now support connection and response timeouts (requires JVM 1.5
for the HTTP Java sampler).
+Together with the closedown improvements described above, this should avoid
most cases where a test run hangs.
+Multiple Header Manager elements are now supported for a single HTTP sampler.
+The Proxy Server is improved, and no longer stores "Host" headers by default.
</p>
-<h3>Improvements</h3>
+<p>
+JDBC Request can optionally save the results of Select statements to variables.
+JDBC Request now handles quoted strings and UTF-8, and can handle arbitrary
variable types.
+</p>
<p>
-<ul>
-</ul>
+There are several new <a href="usermanual/functions.html">functions</a>:
+__char() function: allows arbitrary Unicode characters to be entered in fields.
+__unescape() function: allows Java-escaped strings to be used.
+_unescapeHtml() function: decodes Html-encoded text.
+__escapeHtml() function: encodes text using Html-encoding.
+A reference to a missing function - e.g. ${__missing(a)} - is now treated the
same as a missing variable.
+Previously the function name - and leading { - were dropped. This makes it
easier to debug test plans.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some Assertions can now be applied to sub-samples as well as (or instead of)
just the parent sample.
+There is a new <complink name="Random Variable"/> Configuration element.
+</p>
+<p>
+JMS samplers are much improved (see details below). The <complink name="TCP
Sampler"/> now supports some additional clients and is a bit more flexible.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Client-server mode has been improved, and the server can optionally use a
fixed RMI port, which should help with setting up firewalls.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Various I18N changes have been made; language change works better (though not
perfect yet).
+There are improved French translations as well as new Polish and Brazilian
Portugese translations.
