We recently announced the release of OpenResty XRay 26.5.11. This update brings a host of significant improvements and fixes.

Core Highlights for OpenResty XRay 26.5.11

Three Major Highlights

1. Enterprise-grade identity authentication and multi-tenant management upgrades

• The Cloud Edition now fully supports OIDC sign-in, enabling seamless integration with your unified enterprise identity system and improving both security and convenience.
• The self-managed edition now allows customer names to be changed, and tenant names can be configured at initialization for more flexible multi-tenant management.

2. Programming language ecosystem expansion: full-stack D language analysis

• Support for analyzing D language applications, filling a gap in performance diagnostics for that language.
• New dedicated d-newgco and d-newgco-size flame graphs to precisely analyze GC object allocation behavior in D applications and help developers quickly zero in on memory performance bottlenecks.

3. Deeper system-level diagnostic capabilities: three new professional tools

• lj-gc-state: Real-time visibility into LuaJIT garbage collector configuration and runtime state, providing the data needed to tune GC in OpenResty and similar scenarios.
• sys-nf-conntrack: Monitor Linux connection tracking module configuration and state to optimize connection management in network-intensive applications.
• sys-softirq-stats: In-depth analysis of softirq state with configuration recommendations to address kernel bottlenecks in high-concurrency scenarios.

Other Important Updates

Security and operations enhancements

• Vulnerability scanning covers more vendors, broadening the reach of security protections.
• Support for cleaning up inactive agents to optimize resource management.

User experience improvements

• Mobile reports support pinpointing issues using both report ID and problem ID together (a two-key lookup).
• Announcement titles support permanent links for easier documentation and sharing.
• Refined dismissal of new-report notifications: mouse-wheel zoom is disabled and toolbar zoom buttons are added.

Stability fixes

• Fixed missing installation commands on Amazon Linux 2023.
• Fixed self-managed edition login form display issues and critical problems such as empty OIDC names.
• Fixed multiple issues in application detection to improve detection accuracy.

Performance optimizations

• Added indexes for application updates, significantly improving query performance.
• Updated related components to keep the technology stack current.

This release achieves major breakthroughs across enterprise integration capability, breadth of programming language coverage, and depth of system-level diagnostics, delivering a more comprehensive, professional performance analysis and troubleshooting solution.
