• Fix form submission for file access rules of agent to controller security subsystem (regression in 2.111). (pull 5881, issue 67061, Upgrade guide - Agent to controller path filter security fixes)

• Display the "Configure System" icon in the drop down menu. (issue 67033)

• Replace the term "master" for the main Jenkins application with "controller" or "built-in node" in user interface strings and documentation. New installations get the new node and label immediately. Existing installations do not change the node name (e.g. NODE_NAME environment variable) or label of the built-in node until an administrator explicitly performs the migration. If a job definition, Pipeline definition, or tool installer reference must be tied to the built-in node, it should use the label "built-in". (Upgrade guide - Built-In Node Name and Label Migration)

• Fix wrong parameter type for Text Parameter when triggering a build via the buildWithParameters API call. (pull 5704)
• Use the JVM's default keystore type for the Jenkins server when terminating TLS connections within Jenkins. Used if Jenkins is started with the --httpsPort argument.

• Remove the Woodstox implementation of the StAX API from Jenkins core. Users of the Azure Artifact Manager, Azure Container Agents, Azure Storage, and Azure SDK API plugins must upgrade those plugins to the latest versions in lockstep with this core upgrade. Plugins that consume Woodstox should depend on it directly or via the Jackson 2 API plugin. (pull 5651, Woodstox implementation, StAX API, Azure Artifact Manager plugin, Azure Container Agents plugin, Azure Storage plugin, Azure SDK API plugin, Jackson 2 API plugin)

• If you have the Authorize Project plugin installed and configured, its configuration will now be treated as final with respect to the behavior of Job/Build checks from Build other projects and Build after other projects are built. Formerly, if a Per-project configurable Build Authorization was enabled globally but some projects did not specify an Authorization, the two aforementioned checks would automatically fall back to checking as anonymous (typically denying build permission). To restore the former behavior, explicitly configure a Project default Build Authorization to be Run as anonymous.
