# 2026.1.0 Upgrade Notes None. *** New Features \[COMPLIANCE] Lifecycle audit events AppControl now generates structured audit events across the full lifecycle of applications and environments, strengthening traceability and governance visibility. \[POLICIES] Introduction of compliance policies A new category of policies has been introduced: Compliance Policies. These policies evaluate the operational state of governance controls based on audit event analysis. The first policy in this category is: GOV\_0001 – Change Management This policy verifies whether appropriate change management controls are in place by analyzing generated and collected audit events. \[INSIGHTS] Audit tab A new Audit tab has been added to the Insights page, providing centralized visibility into all audit events generated or collected by AppControl. *** Improvements \[INSIGHTS] Scalability enhancements The performance of the Component Insights page has been significantly improved to support environments containing 1M+ components. *** Resolved Issues \[CORE] Application name synchronization Resolved an issue where application name changes in the hosting platform were not consistently reflected in AppControl. \[RELEASES] Validate configuration task editing Validate Configuration tasks can now be reopened and edited as intended. \[RELEASES] Pipeline notification task stability Resolved an issue where notification tasks in pipelines failed to complete when no branch was selected. \[INSIGHTS] Duplicate component display Fixed an issue causing duplicate components to appear on the Component Insights and Revision pages. \[INSIGHTS] Java vulnerability accuracy Resolved an issue where Java library vulnerabilities could appear outdated when vulnerability reports were retracted. \[POLICIES] Ignored check result handling Corrected behavior where ignored check results were incorrectly returned during new revision checks. \[UX & SUPPORT] Ticket closure permissions Platform Administrators can now close tickets without triggering 500 errors in the logs. \[RELEASES] Release page URL restoration Restored the release page URL to /p/release to prevent broken links in system-generated release notifications. \[TASKS] One-time task assignment logic Completed one-time tasks are no longer reassigned when new app administrators are added. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
