  5. Copy the flux.jar and flux.war files from the new release over your existing ones (i.e., /flux.jar and /webapp/flux.war).
  6. Copy the lib directory from the temporary directory into /lib/ directory>
  7. Copy the .sh files from the new release over to your existing one.

Note: Flux 8.2 requires a JDK, not just a JRE.

Flux 8.2 (31 October 2022)

  • Added Amazon S3 support to all File Triggers and Actions.
    Using S3 is now as simple as selecting “S3 Host” from the list of sources and filling out the region, bucket, access ID, and secret access key information.
  • Added “Juneteenth National Independence Day” support. Updated names of holidays to match the US federal naming convention: “Martin Luther King Day” ➡️ “Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.” and “Presidents’ Day” ➡️ “Washington’s Birthday”.
  • Reverted the web application’s name to its original title, the “Operations Console”.

Flux 8.2.1 (20 Feb 2023)

  • The PGP keys under the System tab now renders up to 100 keys instead of 10.
  • The method flux.file.IncludesFileCriteria include(String filePattern) now defaults the file minimum count to 1 instead of 0, which caused the triggers to fire prematurely.
  • Deprecated method flux.file.FileTrigger.setActiveWindow is now officially removed.

Flux 8.2.1 is NOT “drop-in” replacement IF-AND-ONLY-IF you use the flux.file.FileTrigger.setActiveWindow() method, which is deleted as of this maintenance release.
