## Key Features

### Added

* The [Java Edition](../installation/cross-platform-edition) now includes a guided setup experience for Windows, with the capability to run as a service. For Linux installations, a .tar.gz file is now available. Both options now include a JRE so an external installation is no longer necessary.
* Added the ability to format message content in the preview modal for XML and JSON files.
* Added the ability to filter the [dashboard](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/getting-started/administration/dashboard.md) for transactions from the current day. Trends are assessed by comparing metrics to the same time period from the previous day.
* Metric cards on the [dashboard](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/getting-started/administration/dashboard.md) now include links to more detailed information, where applicable.
* [SSO](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/getting-started/administration/settings/single-sign-on.md) issuer certificates are now refreshed daily, or upon failure to verify the signature in a JWT.

### Changed

* All CData drivers included in the application have been updated to 2023.
* Alerts for errors that pertain to a connector now mention the Id of the workspace that the connector resides in.
* [Flow APIs](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/flows/flow-api.md) now do not create locks by default to allow for greater concurrency.

### Fixed

* Fixed an issue where database connectors receiving a large number of records in a single receive operation could result in an Out of Memory exception in some environments. The Arc messaging engine now appropriately buffers message data to disk when a large number of messages are produced in a single receive operation.
* Fixed an issue causing the process of populating message-related metadata from the transactions table to fail if SQL Server was used as Application Database. This only affected the working set of data present at the time of upgrading.
* Fixed an issue causing health checks to fail to report the disk usage of Application Directory when set to a UNC path. If Archive Directory is set to a separate disk, it is now checked as well.
* When copying one or more connectors into the same workspace as the original connectors, the copies are now placed directly beneath the original connectors.
* Minor security fixes to address low level vulnerabilities.

## Connectors

### Added

* Added a [Kintone](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/kintone/kintone.md) connector.
* Rebuilt the lookup experience in database connectors to provide several key improvements:
  * The Lookup action now allows for selecting multiple columns and records within the same operation.
  * Added a designer to the Lookup action to assist in building queries, referencing information from input files, and testing the configuration directly in the settings tab.
  * Added the ability to target a stored procedure with a lookup through the Lookup Stored Procedure action. The existing Execute Stored Procedure action has been improved to match this design.

### Changed

* When a custom script or condition in the [XML Map connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/xml-map/xml-map.md) causes the connector to throw an error, the error now references that node by name.
* [XML Map](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/xml-map/xml-map.md) no longer hides namespace definitions in the mapping editor.
* Improved the performance of services that receive files passively, especially for connectors like [AS2](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/as2.md) when requests do not match a configured trading partner profile.
* The [Validate connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/validate.md) now allows for linked schemas to pass through it. For example, in a Database → Validate → XML Map flow, the XML Map connector can now reference the schema from the Database connector for mapping.
* Improved the performance of the [PDF Label connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/pdf-label.md).
* The [FTP Server connector](../../connectors/ftp-server) now requires the reuse of the PI SSL session in the DI channel by default.
* The Magento connector has been rebranded to the [Adobe Commerce connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/adobe-commerce/adobe-commerce.md).
* The [Excel connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/excel.md) now allows for the specification of a range of cells where the table should be found in Table mode.

### Fixed

* The [SharePoint connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/sharepoint/sharepoint.md) now better handles long filenames.
* Fixed an issue in the UI of the [SFTP connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/sftp.md) that caused the server thumbprint to be overwritten when creating a new public key.
* Application connectors like [Salesforce](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/salesforce/salesforce.md), [Shopify](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/shopify/shopify.md), etc. now properly handle aggregate columns when a custom query is defined.
* The [Email Receive connector](https://docs.arc.cdata.com/26.4/cloud/ja/connectors/email-receive.md) now properly handles message attachments that are not part of MIME encoded entities.
