Release 7.7.5

Updates and Improvements

• Dependency Upgrades: We have updated our project dependencies to the latest versions, ensuring improved performance, security, and compatibility across the board.

Bug Fixes

• Plugin Class Loading Enhancement: We've refactored the plugin class loading mechanism to utilize a custom PluginsClassloader. This significant change addresses and resolves the issue where plugin classes were previously loaded by multiple classloaders, leading to potential conflicts. With this update, all plugin classes are consistently loaded by a single classloader, enhancing the stability and reliability of the plugin system.

7.7.4

Release 7.7.4

RESTHeart 7.7.4 includes important bug fixes and error handling improvements to enhance stability and usability.

Below is a summary of the changes included in this release.

Bug Fixes

• Class Not Found Error Fix: Resolved an issue where ClassNotFoundException was thrown when a Provider attempted to provide an instance of a class located within plugin JAR files.

Improvements

• Enhanced MongoDB Error Handling: Improved error handling for MongoDB operations by specifically addressing two error conditions:
  • Error 16410: FieldPath field names may not start with '$'. The system now correctly identifies and returns a 400 Bad Request response when encountering this issue, preventing invalid queries from causing unhandled exceptions.
  • Error 73: Invalid database name. Similarly, this update ensures that attempts to use invalid database names are gracefully handled, returning a 400 Bad Request response to the client.

These changes aim to improve the overall robustness and user experience of the software by preventing common errors and ensuring that clients receive clear, actionable feedback on issues. We recommend all users to update to this latest version to benefit from these improvements.

7.7.3

Release 7.7.3

This minor update introduces an important optimization. We have identified that the RequestLimitingHandler within our base pipeline, while initially implemented to manage request throttling, is not effective while still slowing down RESTHeart. Given the complexity of efficiently handling request loads, we've concluded that utilizing a reverse proxy offers a more robust for request throttling.

Improvements

• Performance Enhancement: We have removed the RequestLimitingHandler from the base processing pipeline. This change is aimed at streamlining operations and reducing unnecessary overhead. As part of this update, we've also deprecated the requests-limit configuration option, reflecting our move towards leveraging external tools for more effective request management.

7.7.0

RESTHeart Release 7.7.0

🚀 This release introduces significant improvements and updates, enhancing the performance and functionality of RESTHeart.

What's New in 7.7.0

• Enhanced Plugin Directory Management: RESTHeart now supports more efficient management of plugins.

Details on this enhancement can be found at GitHub Issue #495.

• Optimized GraphQL Query Execution: In an effort to boost the efficiency of GraphQL operations, we've implemented a new mechanism to promptly terminate slow queries and aggregations. This proactive approach significantly reduces execution time for GraphQL queries, enhancing overall performance.

• GraalVM Upgraded to v23.0.2: Keeping up with the latest advancements, we've upgraded to GraalVM version 23.0.2. This update ensures compatibility with the latest features and optimizations offered by GraalVM, further enhancing the stability and performance of RESTHeart.

Notable Commits

• 1e3ddc906: Upgraded GraalVM to the latest version 23.0.2, ensuring improved performance and compatibility.
