Cegid CBR Connector Release Notes

21​

21.0.1​

2022 January

Fixes​

✅ Reverted the embedded Java runtime to Java 1.8 to resolve problems between JAXB and Java 11.

21.0.0​

2022 January

What's new​

✳️ Removed log4j and replaced it with slf4j and logback.

✳️ New format installer extracts files from the zip archive into the desired directory.

✳️ Embedded Java (OpenJDK) is now bundled with the connector, removing the dependency on installed Java versions.

✳️ New credential encoding utility added. Use the Encrypt.exe utility to encode configuration values so they are not stored in plain text.

✳️ Configuration file renamed from Agent.config to Connector.config.

Why this matters​

Replacing log4j with slf4j and logback removes the log4j vulnerability exposure. Bundling an embedded Java runtime simplifies deployment and eliminates version conflicts with system-installed Java. The new encoding utility and renamed configuration file align the connector with current Continuous configuration standards.

Migration considerations​

  • Extract the new installer zip into the desired installation directory.
  • Rename your existing Agent.config to Connector.config before configuring the connector.
  • Re-encode all user and password values using the new Encrypt.exe utility.
