* As of release 3.55.0, those who have enabled IQ Server under Administration → IQ Server and have Sonatype Repository Firewall as a feature on that IQ Server instance will not see Repository Health Check in their Sonatype Nexus Repository instance. Firewall is a much more fully featured tool for identifying security risks in your repositories. Learn more about Sonatype Repository Firewall on sonatype.com.


If you have questions about a specific feature, contact nexus-feedback@sonatype.com.

OBR 

We aim to provide support for every format available. However, we also have to prioritize according to the needs of our customers. If you want to see OBR supported, check out the Nexus Repository JIRA project and add a comment with your support.

Custom Metadata

The Custom Metadata feature has been replaced with the new component tagging feature.
