• For the time being, the webservice.log will no longer be written.
• The Pending Configurations, Completed Configurations PLANTA link administration modules as well as the Requests module in web interfaces filter for the runs of the current month when they are opened for the first time, unlike before when they filtered for runs of the current year.
• In the Web Interfaces module there is a new  Requests field which shows the number of requests of the corresponding web interface, and a button via which you can consult the logging for this very web interface.

The request records have been extended by new parameters: Remote host and Status code.

The PLANTA pulse and PLANTA-Hybrid Parameters and Jira Parameters modules have been supplemented by the Client URL parameter. This parameter can be configured for storing a particular URL via which PLANTA pulse or Jira can be opened from PLANTA project .
