v26.6.0

🛡️ Security: CVE Dependency Upgrades

This release batch-upgrades third-party libraries across all modules (server, client, donkey, CLI, manager, webadmin) to remediate known CVEs — including the netty upgrade addressing CVE-2026-44249, CVE-2026-45416, and CVE-2026-50010, and the log4j upgrade addressing CVE-2026-34477, CVE-2026-34478, CVE-2026-34479, and CVE-2026-34480.

Library	Before	After
log4j (api / core / 1.2-api / slf4j2-impl)	2.25.3	2.25.4
netty	4.1.119.Final	4.1.135.Final
jetty (core + ee8)	12.0.32	12.0.33
commons-io	2.13.0	2.16.1
commons-configuration2	2.10.1	2.12.0
commons-fileupload	1.5	1.6.0
commons-compress	1.24.0	1.26.0
pdfbox / fontbox / xmpbox	2.0.24	2.0.36
postgresql (JDBC)	42.7.10	42.7.11

• The log4j upgrade covers all four bundled family artifacts in lockstep; channel-context (MDC) field rendering and exception stack-trace output were verified unchanged on the new jars
• Rhino remains at 1.7.13 for JavaScript compatibility and stability
• xstream (1.4.20) and BouncyCastle (1.78.1) upgrades were evaluated and intentionally deferred to a future release after regression testing

Phone-Home Disabled

Server-side usage/registration reporting is now disabled. BridgeLink no longer attempts to send usage statistics to external endpoints.

🗄️ MySQL Table Case Migration

Older releases could create the message storage tables in lowercase on case-sensitive MySQL servers (lower_case_table_names=0, the Linux default), causing failures when the engine later referenced the uppercase names.

26.6.0 ships a schema migration that automatically renames the lowercase message storage tables to uppercase on first startup.

• Runs only on MySQL with lower_case_table_names=0 (Linux default); Windows (=1) and macOS (=2) installations are case-insensitive and are skipped
• Skipped automatically when tables are already uppercase — no action required for healthy installations
• No serialized data changes; all other database types are unaffected

📝 New Feature: Channel Context in Server Logs

Server log lines can now be enriched with the channel context they were emitted from — channelId, channelName, metaDataId, connectorName, messageId, scriptPhase, and scriptLine — making multi-channel log triage dramatically easier.

• Opt-in: set log.channelcontext.enabled=true in mirth.properties (default: false, legacy log format preserved)
• Context propagates through source/destination connectors, poll jobs, recovery tasks, and user script execution (fields render only when present)
• log4j2.properties console and rolling-file patterns updated to include the new context fields

---

🔗 Version History 3.0.2: Commit Limit

History views (Channel, Code Template, Global Scripts, Library) now support a configurable maximum number of commits to load, preventing slow loads and timeouts on repositories with long histories.

• New commit-limit selector in the history dialogs
• REST getHistory operations accept an optional limit query parameter (default 0 = no limit)

---

📊 Message Trends 1.1.0

Time-series rollup windows are now replaced atomically using database upserts (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle), preventing duplicate or stale aggregate rows when a rollup window is recalculated.

---

🧩 New Feature: WebAdmin Plugin UI Endpoints

Core support for declarative, engine-served plugin UIs in the WebAdmin:

• GET /extensions/_webadmin — JSON listing of every installed and enabled extension carrying a webadmin/webadmin.json manifest
• GET /extensions/{extensionName}/webadmin/defaults/{transportName} — XML serialization of a connector's default properties
• Both endpoints are read-only; manifest reads are canonical-path guarded against the extensions directory
• A sample extension demonstrating the contract is included

---

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Source Queue: Fixed the "phantom stuck queue" state where a race during queue invalidation could leave the dashboard showing a permanent QUEUED count while the source-queue thread hot-spun on the database. The queue now self-heals by re-syncing its size from persistent storage and correcting the dashboard immediately
• Dynamic Lookup Gateway: Importing lookup groups with cacheSize = 0 no longer fails
• Database bootstrap: Initial schema version in the database setup scripts corrected to 26.6.0

⚙️ Configuration File Changes

mirth.properties

Key	Description
log.channelcontext.enabled=false	Opt-in channel-context enrichment of server log lines

log4j2.properties

Console and rolling-file layout patterns now include the optional channel-context fields (channelId, channelName, metaDataId, connectorName, messageId, scriptPhase, scriptLine); they render only when channel-context logging is enabled.

🌐 New: BridgeLink WebAdmin

BridgeLink 26.6.0 introduces BridgeLink WebAdmin — a modern, browser-based administration console for the BridgeLink integration engine, and a replacement for the legacy Java Swing administrator. It runs as a lightweight Node.js server and requires no Java runtime and no per-workstation install: point any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari) at it and log in with your existing BridgeLink credentials.

Key capabilities:

• Dashboard — live channel/connector status and message statistics
• Channels — browse, edit, deploy, and manage channels with the full channel editor
• Message Browser — search, inspect, and reprocess messages
• Events, Alerts, Users, Code Templates, Global Scripts, and server settings
• Dark mode, adjustable view density, and a built-in Monaco code editor

BridgeLink WebAdmin requires a BridgeLink server running 26.3.0 or newer. The legacy Java Swing administrator remains fully supported — both clients can be used against the same server, so you can adopt WebAdmin at your own pace.
