Improvement to Logs for Remove Quarantined Versions Feature PRO 

In 3.35.0, we introduced the Remove Quarantined Versions feature. With this release, any metadata file changes made by using this feature are now logged in $data-dir/log/nexus.log and $data-dir/log/audit.log. This allows for Nexus Repository to provide more accurate and detailed logs.

What's New for Everyone?

Search Improvements 

In order to improve search performance, component search will not perform a search query until you have specified search criteria. This should eliminate delays that may have previously existed when search would initiate a request as soon as you landed on the page in the user interface.

Eclipse Jetty Upgrade 

To ensure we are taking advantage of available improvements and fixes, we upgraded Eclipse Jetty from version 9.4.43.v2021062 to version 9.4.48.v20220622.
