Important security update

Classic Java Engine: Security update (since Patch 13)

This patch fixes a potential security issue for Classic Java Engine, which has a dependency on a vulnerable version of log4j. We have closely examined this dependency and don't believe it can be exploited. However, Tricentis takes security seriously. Consequently, the log4j file has been removed from the setup.

New Features

For this patch, we have added the following features:

XBrowser: Chrome extension compatibility (since Patch 12)

With this patch, we added compatibility with the extension in the Chrome store. This fixes an issue where installing the extension via the Chrome store was not possible.

Mobile Engine 3.0: proxy configuration (since Patch 12):

With this patch, you can configure the proxy server for mobile test automation.
