  • Separated the Rebuild Attributes from Reindex - rebuild attributes takes longer and reconstructs corrupted Nexus metadata.

Upgrade Notes: This release requires an update to the base platform, therefore an upgrade bundle has not been provided. After installing the new bundle, copy the work folder located at /runtime/work and the files located at /runtime/apps/nexus/conf to the new location. After starting the system, run "rebuild attributes" on all hosted repositories. This is done to migrate the checksums to the proper location in the repository data (NX-491 above).
