What's New

Upgraded to JSON 3.0.2 and MySQL 8.4 LTS with stricter parsing rules.

Breaking Changes

  • JSON 3.0.2 rejects duplicate object keys and JavaScript-style comments by default
  • MySQL upgrade requires backing up data and an intermediate upgrade for versions older than 8.0

New Features

  • Improved agent scheduling by deduplicating automatic checks

Improvements

  • Upgraded bundled database and Docker Compose MySQL services to 8.4 LTS
  • Upgraded to json 3.0.2
  • Moved navigation labels to translation keys while preserving the English text

Upgrade Notes

Check external JSON inputs for duplicate keys and comments, and review custom Agent gems for json 3 API compatibility. Back up MySQL databases before upgrading. MySQL 5.7 requires an intermediate upgrade to 8.0 before 8.4.
