XRebel 2020.3.1

We are also excited to announce the release of XRebel 2020.3.1, the third major release in 2020 for our distributed tracing tool, XRebel. XRebel 2020.3.1 adds some exciting new features, including an onboarding tour that makes it easier for new users to explore the latest XRebel features.

It also introduces new integrations for popular Java technologies, like Netty in Spring 2, making it easier to work with XRebel -- no matter your environment.

New to XRebel? Take the Tour!

Whether you are using XRebel for the first time or a frequent user of XRebel, we highly encourage you to try out the XRebel tour. It will walk you through using XRebel in a demo environment, providing context for the different features available. This will empower new XRebel users to better understand the information provided in XRebel, and existing users will likely find out something that they didn’t know about the product!

It's easy to access the XRebel tour. If it is your first time using XRebel, the tour splash will appear the first time you open the application, allowing you to start the tour. If you have used XRebel before, you can use the tour by simply going to Settings after you have installed XRebel 2020.3.1+ in your application. From Settings, go to About and click “Take a tour” to get started.

Support for Netty in Spring Boot 2

As mentioned above, XRebel adds support for Reactor Netty in Spring 2. This improvement helps to make Spring Boot 2 a fully-supported framework for XRebel.

Other New Features and Updated Support

XRebel 2020.3.1 also adds support for Hibernate 5.1+, making it easier than ever to detect inefficiencies within Hibernate ORM.

Bug Fixes and Usability Improvements

XRebel 2020.3.1 introduces a number of bug fixes, including a Javaassist exception in Hibernate, and UI issues related to horizontal scroll.
