5.6.0 Release Notes

These release notes list any new features, enhancements, and fixes that were made between version 5.5.2 and 5.6.0 of Hazelcast Management Center (MC).

If you are upgrading Management Center from a version earlier than 5.4.0, a data migration step is required as Management Center 5.6.0 uses H2 2.x as its internal database instead of H2 1.x (as used in previous releases). If you use the provided hz-mc or mc-start scripts to start Management Center, this data migration is handled automatically by the script. If you use a custom run script, refer to the documentation for comprehensive instructions on migrating Management Center data. If the internal database is not upgraded, then Management Center will start with a new configuration.
