# Sonatype Nexus Repository 3.54.0 - 3.54.1 Release Notes
**Released May 22, 2023**
| #### Highlights in This Release |
| --- |
| **Refreshed Outreach Page**
We've refreshed and enhanced the Sonatype Nexus Repository outreach page with modern designs, useful links, and up-to-date information about new features that we've recently released.
**Export Unused Assets PRO**
We've adjusted our repository export task to allow you to easily export unused assets.
**Renaming IQ Server- and Firewall-Related Capabilities**
We have renamed the _IQ Audit and Quarantine_ capability to _Firewall Audit and Quarantine_ and hidden the _IQ Server Configuration_ capability from the _Capabilities_ screen. Functionality is not impacted, and you will still configure your connection to IQ Server via the _IQ Server_ tab in the user interface. |
Sonatype Nexus Repository 3.54.0 was never officially released and was found to contain a bug that we fixed in 3.54.1. Please use 3.54.1 and do not upgrade to 3.54.0.
## Refreshed Outreach Page
You may have noticed that we've refreshed Sonatype Nexus Repository's front page!

Our new outreach page is sleek, modern, and functional. We will be keeping it updated with relevant and useful information as we release new features and improvements. You can expect to see regular updates in the _What's New?_ section, a running list of recent releases with links to their release notes, and alerts when we release new versions.
We've also added shortcuts to help you find what you need more quickly. Whether you need to find answers in our Help docs, want quick access to browse repositories, ask questions in the Sonatype Community, or just want to catch up on what's new in the Sonatype Nexus Repository, you can find what you need on our new and improved front page!
Not seeing what we're talking about? You may have disabled your [Outreach Management capability](https://help.sonatype.com/en/capabilities.html#UUID-4f75c8ae-33bc-9337-3105-b6a565d0ae1b_id_Capabilities-OutreachManagement "Outreach: Management").
Make sure to keep it enabled to stay up-to-date on the latest Sonatype Nexus Repository news and release announcements!
## Export Unused Assets
Some Sonatype Nexus Repository Pro customers have expressed the desire to be able to identify and export unused content from Sonatype Nexus Repository. To make this easier, we've adjusted our repository export task to include a new field that allows you to limit your export to include only unused assets.
The new field appears in the _Repository - Export assets_ task configuration form and is labeled _Threshold (in days) of unused assets to include_. Setting this field to a specific number will result in exporting only assets that have not been updated or downloaded in the configured number of days. You can leave the field blank to include all assets. See the [Repository Export help topic](https://help.sonatype.com/en/repository-export.html "Repository Export") for more details about this task.
Once you've exported the unused assets, you can import them to a separate backup server as documented in our [Repository Import help topic](https://help.sonatype.com/en/repository-import.html "Repository Import").
## Renaming of IQ Server and Firewall Related Capabilities
As we continue bringing our product line together in a more unified platform approach, we have adjusted some of our capabilities in Sonatype Nexus Repository. To more clearly identify the Sonatype product providing the functionality, the _IQ Audit and Quarantine_ capability is now called _Firewall Audit and Quarantine_. This is solely a user interface adjustment and has no impact on functionality.
We have also opted to hide our _IQ Server Configuration_ capability from the _Capabilities_ screen in order to simplify user experience. You will still configure Sonatype Nexus Repository's connection to IQ Server (required for using Sonatype Repository Firewall) via the user interface in the _IQ Server_ tab.
## Bug Fixes
Sonatype will retire our public-facing Jira instances on May 25, 2023. This includes https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS. The decision is necessitated by a need for increased security as well as to replace a system that is almost at “end of life” with Atlassian.
Moving forward, please watch the [Release Notes](https://help.sonatype.com/en/release-notes.html "Release Notes") for a list of issues fixed in each product release.

The following bug fix is included in the 3.54.1 release:
- Added recently provided patch fixing the `GroovyCastException` that was occurring when installing the nexus gem.
- Fixed the known issue from 3.53.0 for those using community or custom plugins. These plugins now load as expected.

Those upgrading to this version or later may see resultant validation errors in the UI for custom privileges created before upgrade.
- NEXUS-37518 - Fixed an issue that was causing errors when running the _Docker - Delete unused manifests and images_ task.
- NEXUS-38740 - Fixed an issue that was preventing NuGet v3 search from returning components with "." in the component name under some search conditions.
- Plugins bundled as .kar files that are installed via `$install-dir/deploy` now start as expected.
- Updated documentation to better explain how metadata is impacted during repository import.
