These are the release notes for the TIBCO StreamBase® component of TIBCO® Streaming 10.6.5.

New Features

TIBCO® Streaming 10.6.5 adds the following updates and new features:

TIBCO® Streaming Now Bundles Java 11.0.21

The TIBCO Streaming installation kit provides the runtime components of Oracle JDK version 11.0.21 in a subdirectory of the Streaming installation directory, for private use to run Streaming program fragments and applications from within StreamBase Studio. As before, Streaming detects and prefers a system-installed JDK, and uses the bundled JDK as a fallback. See further details about the JDK requirements of this release in the JDK entry of the Supported Configurations page.

Changes in Functionality

TIBCO® Streaming installer files are prefixed with SPOT_

Streaming products from Cloud Software Group are now part of the Spotfire product line, and to reflect the change, the installer files on eDelivery are now prefixed with SPOT_ instead of TIB_.

Nothing else concerning product installation has changed, so names of programs and their default installation locations remain the same.

SB‑51163 Alibaba Fastjson Mitigation of Vulnerability CWE-502
Description

Streaming 10.6 includes a version of Alibaba Fastjson with a vulnerability classified as CWE-502. In Streaming 10.6.2 and later, all Fastjson parser instances are put into a safe mode that mitigates the vulnerability. The safe mode turns off the Fastjson feature that is vulnerable to such attacks. However, the vulnerability will still be flagged in tools that report dependency vulnerabilities.

Workaround You can suppress the vulnerability in such tools as the OWASP Dependency Check Maven plugin.
SB‑49471 The epdev offline maven command shows benign errors.
Description

Running the epdev offline maven command can show a number or Maven errors. However, the process does complete and work as expected. The display of these errors is expected to be corrected in an upcoming release.

Workaround None.
SB‑49208 Project names with underlines cause problems for application projects with Docker and Kubernetes or Helm support.
Description

Studio-generated StreamBase Application projects that elect the Docker and Kubernetes options generate a Docker image without errors, but fail to deploy in Docker.

Workaround Start over with a new project name without underlines.
