Version 10.0.5.7 updates

IBM API Connect Version 10.0.5.7 contains fixes, and the following enhancements.

LoopBack is deprecated
LoopBack is now deprecated and support will be removed in an upcoming release.

Analytics event_id generation

The auto-generated event_id for analytics API events is now generated based on a hashed version of the datetime, transaction_id, and client_id fields combined by using the SHA1 algorithm.

This change prevents the analytics subsystem from ingesting duplicated API events, which can be caused by gateway failure.

Cert-manager update required for Kubernetes deployments
API Connect 10.0.5.7 uses cert-manager 1.12.9. If you are upgrading a deployment on Kubernetes, be sure to update the cert-manager as explained in the procedure for Upgrading subsystems on native Kubernetes.

VMware apicup certs list command checks for certificate expiry
The apicup certs list command that is used on VMware now checks the expiry date of all certificates that are managed by apicup. A warning is output for any certificates that are expired or close to expiry.

For more information about checking certificate expiry on VMware, see Certificate expiry and renewal.
