The focus for this release is improvements to references services and bugfixing.

Highlights

This is mainly a bugfix release, see detailed change log at the bottom of the page.

• Upgraded to Java8

Updating from 1.3

Java8

• A Java8 JVM is now requered to run the reference components
• A Tomcat8 is required to run the new webservices.

Reference settings

• A new setting for determining whether a ReferencePillar is a FileReferencePillar or ChecksumReferencePillar, PillarType (under PillarSettings). This is instead of the deprecated 'reference-pillar.sh' and 'checksum-pillar.sh' scripts. The setting is mandatory for pillars, and it must be either 'FILE' or 'CHECKSUM'.
• A new optional setting for FileReferencePillar VerifyDataConsistencyOnMessage (under PillarSettings) to determine whether to actually check the data on the disk when receiving a message, or just refer to the data in the database.
• MaxChecksumAge (in the IntegrityServiceSettings) for a specific pillar can now be set to 0, which ignores checks for obsolete checksums (recommended especially for ChecksumPillars).The datamodel behind the integrity service has been given an overhaul improving the scalability of the service. 
• Integrity service page now also displays issues related to obsolete and missing checksums.
• Audit trail service have had its collection of audit trails improved, so that it won't slow down for repositories with many audits. 
• File exchange using HTTPS servers requiring SNI now works 

Updating from 1.4

• The integrity service have had its datamodel overhauled, so the database needs migration. Script for doing so is bundled along with the service distribution package (integrityDB4to5Migration.sql)
• The audit trail service have had added an additional table to its database, and therefore needs migration. Script for is bundled along with the service distribution package (auditTrailServiceDBUpdate4to5.sql)
