Hi, I saw this error after I upgraded to 1.0.0 but thought it was maybe due to the issues I had with that upgrade (entirely my fault it turns out!), but I have seen it a number of times since so I turned debugging on to get a better stacktrace. Relevant log section as below. Nothing out of the ordinary, and I never saw this in v0.6.1 or below. I would have raised a Jira issue, but after logging in to Jira it only let me create a service desk request (which didn’t sound right). Regards Conrad
