This is a new generally available maintenance support release for version 3.16 that provides the following features/fixes: 

Fixed upgrade issues 

Upgrade issues that were previously encountered when upgrading from versions 3.12.4 and 3.16.0 have been resolved in version 3.16.1. 

Proxy support for ADLS nodes  

Added the ability to specify and use a proxy on the ADLS nodes. This enhancement allows users to configure proxy settings, including Proxy URL, Proxy Username, and Proxy Password, for all ADLS nodes (List, Get, Delete, Put). This ensures seamless connectivity even in environments requiring proxy authentication.  

Execution sandboxing updates  

Execution sandboxing has been enhanced to prevent conflicts between scheduled executions and container cleanup. Newly created containers are no longer considered for "unmanaged" cleanup, and if a container is cleaned up during execution, the system will recreate it automatically. This ensures smoother execution of workflows.  

Option to disable scheduler during installation  

A new checkbox has been added to the installer, allowing you to disable the scheduler on initial startup. This is particularly useful when restoring from a backup containing schedules that should not run immediately, such as in a high-availability (HA) environment.  

Support for /etc/hosts configuration in sandbox containers  

You can now add a Boolean property ls.brain.server.docker.containersInheritHosts  (default value is false) to the cust.prop file to configure execution sandboxing containers to "inherit" the entries in the hosts file (/etc/hosts) on Linux. 

Additionally, you can explicitly configure extra hosts by adding the new property ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts  to the cust.prop file. It is an array of <hostName>:<IP> entries.  

For example: ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts=("bar.example.com:12.113.123.60" "foo.bar.com:10.192.13.58").  

Note: The property ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts  will set extra hosts on the container but will not have any effect on Windows.  

Error messaging improvements  

Improved error messaging for execution sandboxing on Windows. If target locations that are not under C:/ are used without proper mapping in the repositoryTargetMappings.json file, the system now provides clear error messages.
