## Release v9.4 - [Feature Release](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/release-definitions.html#feature-release)

- **9.4.1, released 2024-01-16**
- Fixed an issue where ``getChannelMemberOnly`` failed to fetch data when certain fields were NULL.
- **9.4.0, released 2024-01-16**
- Original 9.4.0 release.

### Important Upgrade Notes
- MySQL v5.7 is at end of life. We recommend all customers to upgrade to at least 8.x. For now, we are logging a warning. From Mattermost v9.5, which is the next Extended Support Release, we will stop supporting MySQL v5.7 altogether.

```{Important}
If you upgrade from a release earlier than v9.3, please read the other [Important Upgrade Notes](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/important-upgrade-notes.html).
```

### Compatibility
- Updated the minimum required Edge version to v118+.

### Improvements

#### User Interface (UI)
- Updated the pre-packaged GitHub plugin version to [v2.1.7](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-github/releases/tag/v2.1.7).
- Pre-packaged Calls plugin version [v0.22.2](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-calls/releases/tag/v0.22.2).
- Improved the user interface of the channel notifications modal.
- Emojis are now enlarged in emoji tooltips on mouse hover.
- Added a gap of 8px between buttons in the modal footer when opened in the mobile web view.
- Updated empty states to align with new branding and made changes to the empty state copy.
- Adjusted the position of the suggestion list in "Add <user> to a channel" modal to be below or above the text field.

#### Administration
- Added new ``ServerMetrics`` hook to allow plugins to register a custom HTTP endpoint to serve their metrics under the server's metrics HTTP listener.
- Admins now have the ability to pipe the output of ``mmctl websocket`` into the JSON parser.
- Added stores for OAuth **Outgoing Connections**.
- Added support for IP Filtering in Cloud (this feature is disabled and behind a feature flag).
- Added last login timestamp for users, and added a materialized view and a refresh job to keep track of post stats for PostgreSQL.
- Allowed plugin requests to include **Authorization** headers from external systems.
- Added a mmctl command ``mmctl system supportpacket`` to download the **Support Packet**.
- Added a new mmctl command ``oauth list`` for listing registered OAuth2 applications.
- An optional dedicated filestore is now used for compliance exports if configured.
- ``MessageExportSettings.GlobalRelaySettings.CustomerType`` now supports "CUSTOM".

### Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the emoji reaction toggle behavior.
- Fixed an issue with the spacing between Playbooks and the separator in the Apps bar.

### config.json
- Multiple setting options were added to ``config.json``. Below is a list of the additions and their default values on install. The settings can be modified in ``config.json``, or the System Console when available.

#### Changes to all plans:
- Under ``RefreshPostStatsRunTime`` in ``config.json``:
- Added ``RefreshPostStatsRunTime`` to add last login timestamp for users and to add materialized view and refresh job to keep track of post stats for PostgreSQL.

#### Changes to the Enterprise plan:
- Under ``GlobalRelayMessageExportSettings`` in ``config.json``:
- Added two new configuration settings ``CustomSMTPServerName`` and ``CustomSMTPPort`` to allow setting a custom URL and port for Global Relay export. ``CustomSMTPServerName`` and ``CustomSMTPPort`` cannot be configured in the system console UI.

### Open Source Components:
- Added ``@mattermost/desktop-api`` and ``ipaddr.js`` to https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/.

### Go Version
- v9.4 is built with Go ``v1.20.7``.

### Known Issues
- Adding an @mention at the start of a post draft and pressing the left or right arrow key can clear the post draft and the undo history [MM-33823](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-33823).

- Status may sometimes get stuck as **Away** or **Offline** in High Availability mode with IP Hash turned off.
- Searching stop words in quotation marks with Elasticsearch enabled returns more than just the searched terms.
- Slack import through the CLI fails if email notifications are enabled.
- Push notifications don't always clear on iOS when running Mattermost in High Availability mode.
- The Playbooks left-hand sidebar doesn't update when a user is added to a run or playbook without a refresh.
- If a user isn't a member of a configured broadcast channel, posting a status update might fail without any error feedback. As a temporary workaround, join the configured broadcast channels, or remove those channels from the run configuration.
- The Playbooks left-hand sidebar does not update when a user is added to a run or playbook without a refresh.
