## Key Features

### Added

* Added a comprehensive redesign of the [Settings](../administration/settings/settings-page) page with improved user interface and enhanced functionality across all tabs including Users, Roles, Certificates, Connections, Security, Vault, License, and Advanced settings.
* Added comprehensive security improvements including password history, expiration policies, forced admin resets, IP whitelist/blacklist functionality, and automatic account disabling for inactive users.
* Added connector creation date tracking to provide better visibility into when connectors were originally created.

### Changed

* Improved support for [FIPS 140-2 compliance](../administration/security-best-practices#fips-compliance) to meet stringent federal security requirements for cryptographic operations.
* Improved [User Roles](../administration/settings/user-roles) to relax the maximum role restriction for a user, and the maximum policy restriction for roles.
* Improved message display functionality in the Arc Message viewer with better organization of repeated headers and enhanced readability.
* Updated the arc.properties file to support system property and environment variable expansion for more flexible configuration management.
* Adding paging to the Logs API resource in the Admin API.
* Added new inputs to the export and import API actions to provide more granular control.
* Improved the performance of the cleanup procedure.
* Improved the performance of the application database by leveraging partitioning when SQL Server is used.
* Public certificates are no longer generated while importing private certificates. Instead, they can be exported from private certificates directly in the UI.

### Fixed

* Fixed the files resource in the Admin API to properly handle filenames containing commas.
* Fixed ArcScript \_cookie item enumeration to properly iterate through all available cookies.
* Fixed transaction tab filtering to properly handle combined direction and status filters.
* Fixed certificate handling to properly manage certificates with identical names but different expiration dates.
* Fixed a UI issue preventing the setup of Ollama as an AI provider when the selected instance only included one model.
* Fixed a memory leak in the .NET edition's locking implementation.
* Fixed a database connection leak in the application's health check routine.
* Many performance and stability improvements to the cleanup routine, especially when archiving to S3.
* Fixed an issue migrating transactions to the new version of the underlying table for derby databases with a large number of transactions.
* Fixed a backward compatibility issue in the certificates API resource where the format of the ConnectorIds output changed. This has been reverted to restore backward compatibility, but is now considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version in favor of the new AssociatedResources output.
* Updated the JRE that ships with the Java edition to address security vulnerabilities in the old JRE.

## Connectors

### Added

* Added AI capabilities to the [XML Map](../../connectors/xml-map/xml-map) connector to automatically generate mappings.
* Added [ICAP connector](../../connectors/icap) for seamless integration with ICAP servers to perform real-time content adaptation and security scanning.
* Added HMAC signature authentication support for the [Webhook](../../connectors/webhook) connector, providing stronger authentication options for Professional and Enterprise license tiers.
* Added a migration utility to help users transition from deprecated AS4v1 connector instances to the improved AS4v2 implementation. Users looking to upgrade [AS4](../../connectors/as4) connector configurations in bulk should reach out to [arcsupport@cdata.com](mailto:arcsupport@cdata.com) for assistance.
* Added Order By capabilities to the [XML Group](../../connectors/xml-group) connector.
* Added a display density toggle in the [XML Map](../../connectors/xml-map/xml-map) connector.

### Changed

* Improved the performance for switching tables in cdata-based database connectors.

### Fixed

* Fixed [SharePoint connector](../../connectors/sharepoint/sharepoint) document library access issues related to many edge cases like renamed document libraries, folders containing whitespace or special characters in the name, and improved error messaging.
