Important notices
- From 6.8 onwards, the Blue Prism browser extensions will, by default, dynamically select a port from the ephemeral range to communicate with Blue Prism. The previous fixed port can still be used for specific requirements, and this is controlled via a new system setting.
- Users must manually install the Blue Prism Chrome extension from the Chrome store to be able to use the Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser supported by Blue Prism 6.8 onwards.
- For applications and websites using Firefox version 74 or later, the Firefox browser extension must be installed manually.
- All Blue Prism native authentication environments will be updated to support multi-authentication when upgrading to 6.8.
Please review the upgrade notices for more details and before upgrading to this release.

The following fixes and minor improvements are introduced with this version:
Description of change |
Reference |
---|---|
Runtime resources now recognize new business objects that have been added to an environment regardless of whether a session on that runtime resource has already been run. Previously, when new business objects were added to an environment the runtime resource had to be restarted if any session had already been started or completed. |
bp-1423 (bp-1367) |
Improvements have been made to diagnostic functionality introduced in 6.7. These improvements resolve potential intermittent connection issues with runtime resources in environments where reverse DNS information could not be resolved. When the issue occurred runtime resources were unable to receive connection requests, resulting in connectivity errors. |
bp-1419 (bp-1403) |
