Here’s what’s new this week:

• JMeter < 2.13 deprecated (Older tests now execute with 2.13)
• Zoom synchronized across Timeline Report, Request Stats & Errors
• Online Recorder whitelisting simplified: always uses port 8153
• Azure available in New Test Create (NTC) Beta
• BlazeMeter API V2 deprecated; “latest” now points to V4

JMeter < 2.13 deprecated (Older tests now execute with 2.13)

As of this release, we have deprecated JMeter engines with versions below 2.13. Any scripts that were created in earlier versions of JMeter will now be executed with 2.13.

Zoom synchronized across Timeline Report, Request Stats & Errors

Now when you zoom the Timeline Report graph, the sliders in Request Stats and Errors will follow the same selection. The reverse works as well: Moving the sliders will re-zoom the Timeline Report.

Online Recorder whitelisting simplified: always uses port 8153

The online Recorder now uses a static port number (8153), so there’s no need to whitelist a long range of ports in order to use it. We'll be changing it to port 80 soon to make it even easier. If you are new to the Recorder, have a look at BlazeMeter Proxy Recorder (Mobile and web) or just click the “Recorder” button on the Create Test screen to get started:

Azure available in New Test Create (NTC) Beta

Now you can run tests on Azure (26 locations) from within the New Test Create (NTC) Beta.

BlazeMeter API V2 deprecated; “latest” now points to V4

We have deprecated our V2 API and have pointed “latest” to our V4 API. This change was announced via email to all users of the V2 API in April.

Have a look at API Changes Effective June 10, 2018 if you need tips for migrating any remaining V2 or “latest” references in your code. Feel free to Contact Support if you have further questions.
