Improved debugging and error messages

Support for Mule 3.8, which creates a single unified runtime for API gateways and integrations, adds additional TLS capabilities, additional tuning parameters for batch, and improved error messages.
Hardware and Software System Requirements
-
For most use cases, Anypoint Studio with the 3.8 Runtime does not change hardware or software requirements.
-
MuleSoft recommends a minimum of 4GB RAM on a developer workstation. As applications become complex, consider adding more RAM.
-
This version of Anypoint Studio requires Java 7.
Note: If you are installing Anypoint Studio on a Mac computer with OS X that has no Java installed, the OS may require that you first download and install JDK 1.6. Install JDK 1.6 first and then install JDK 1.7.
Migration Guide
This version is a Beta, there is no migration from a GA version to a Beta.
You can easily import all of the external components that you had installed in your old version of Anypoint Studio through a single action. This includes connectors, runtimes, and any other type of extension added through the Anypoint Exchange or the Help → Install new software menu, as long as there are no compatibility restrictions. Do this by selecting File→Import and then choose Install→From existing installation. ![]() Then specify the location of your old version of Anypoint Studio in your local drive. |
Known Issues
To use the DataWeave preview with Flat Files, a full path must be configured for the schema and sample data files.
