Critical Nexus Repository Pro Cleanup Policy Bug Fix
This release fixes a critical bug (NEXUS-34642) that could cause cleanup policies to unintentionally delete binaries in Nexus Repository Pro deployments using H2 or PostgreSQL.
Deployments meeting all of the following criteria are impacted by this bug:
Your deployment must be using Nexus Repository Pro 3.31.0 to 3.41.0
Your deployment must have been explicitly migrated to or originally deployed using an H2 or PostgreSQL database
Cleanup policies must be applied to one or more repositories
Those cleanup policies must have Component Age or Component Usage criteria

3.41.0 Release July 27, 2022
New Optional Database Migrator Parameters
The Database Migrator exports the OrientDB database to JSON files during the migration process and then deletes these files. In this release, we've added two optional parameters that you can use if you'd like to preserve the JSON files to potentially reuse them without any additional export. This can be especially helpful should you encounter any issues causing the import to the target database to finish unexpectedly. We also added a flag to allow you to "assume yes" and skip waiting for manual user input when prompted to ensure that Nexus Repository is shut down before proceeding.
New Admin - delete blobstore temporary files Task
As some customers have reported experiencing excess tmp files in a blobstore's /tmp folder, we have added a new Admin - delete blobstore temporary files task to help reduce excess files. If you find that you have excess tmp files for a blobstore, manually schedule and use this task to easily delete all of the tmp files (.bytes and .properties) in a selected blobstore's /tmp folder.
Upgraded Embedded Java Version for Windows and MacOS
In this release, we upgraded our embedded JDK version from Java 8u252 to 8u332 to improve overall security and stability. This only affects Windows and MacOS installers.
Hosted PyPI Repositories Now Use SHA256 Hashes
As recommended in PEP 503, hosted PyPI repositories now provide SHA256 hashes instead of MD5 in the /simple web interface's href attributes that link to package files being served.
Note that this behavior cannot be reverted once you upgrade to 3.41.0.
