Hello Community!
We are excited to let you know that Crowd 5.2 is now available.
What to look forward to in Crowd 5.2
In the new version of Crowd, we have made two significant improvements to the existing functionalities:
User attributes in audit logs
The audit log now shows information about creating, modifying, or removing user attributes. This is important for security audits and post-incident investigations.
Invitation emails on account creation
After creating a new account, you will now have the option to send an invitation email from the system. Previously, customers often used the password reset function to trigger these emails, which was a suboptimal user experience both for the administrator and the user for whom the account was created.
We’ve also updated our tech stack for improved security. These changes include upgrading:
-
Apache Tomcat version from 8.5 to 9
-
Log4j version from v1 to v2
-
HSQLDB version from 1.8.9.10 to 2.7.2
Planning your upgrade
Crowd 5.2 will be the last Crowd feature release available to download for Server before the Server end of support date on Feb 15, 2024. All feature releases after Crowd 5.2 will only support our Data Center offering. Crowd 5.2 will continue to receive security and bug fixes in adherence to our Support policies.
We recommend that you upgrade to Data Center to remain secure and supported.
Feel free to share any questions or comments below.
Thank you from the Crowd product team!
