      Issues: CT-1137

Bug Fixes

  • Command-line Tools

    • tpm would fail to run on some Operating Systems due to missing realpath

      tpm has been changed to use readlink which is commonly installed by default on most operating systems, however if it is not available, you may be required to install GNU coreutils to satisfy this dependency

      Issues: CT-1124

    • Removed dependency on perl module Time::HiRes from tpm

      Issues: CT-1126

    • Added support for handling missing dependency (Data::Dumper) within various tpm subcommands

      Issues: CT-1130

    • tpm will now work on MacOS/X systems, provided greadlink is installed.

      Issues: CT-1147

    • tpm install will no longer report that the linux distribution cannot be determined on SUSE platforms.

      Issues: CT-1148

    • Fixes a condition where tpm diag would fail to set the working path correctly, especially on Debian 8 hosts.

      Issues: CT-1150

    • tpm diag now checks for OS commands in additional paths (/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin)

      Issues: CT-1160

    • Fixes an issue introduced in v6.1.2 where the use of the undeployall script would stop services as it removed them from systemctl control

      Issues: CT-1166

  • Core Replicator

    • The MongoDB Applier has been updated to use the latest MongoDB JDBC Driver

      Issues: CT-1134

    • The MongoDB Applier now supports MongoDB Atlas as a target

      Issues: CT-1142

    • The replicator would fail with Unknown column '' in 'where clause when replicating between MySQL 8 hosts where the client application would write data into the source database host using a different collation to that of the default on the target database.

      The replicator would fail due to a mismatch in these collations when querying the information_schema.columns view to gather metadata ahead of applying to the target

      Issues: CT-1145
