Zowe installation and packaging​

  • The code has been revised to return a Zowe configuration along with the information of the High Availability (HA) instance (if requested). After the enhancement, we get the correct information about if the component is enabled or disabled and more configuration details with the information of the requested HA instance. (#3692)

Zowe Application Framework​

Zlux App Server​

  • Updated schema to specify multiple discovery servers instead of juse one.(#290)

Zowe API Mediation Layer​

  • Introduced a native identity mapper as a replacement for ZSS identity mapping of x509 and OIDC id. The native identity mapper removes a dependency on an external component and significantly improves performance by switching from an HTTP request to an in-memory call for certificate mapping. (#3252)

Zowe Explorer​

Zowe Explorer (Core)​

  • See the Zowe Explorer changelog for updates included in this release.

Explorer FTP Extension​

  • A call to GET /plugins would trigger an authorization check regardless of if rbac was set ON or OFF.(#523)
