+**Database connection pool change**
+The database connection pool has been replaced for better performance. The `sonar.jdbc.maxIdle`, `sonar.jdbc.minEvictableIdleTimeMillis` and `sonar.jdbc.timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis` properties no longer have any effect and should be removed from the configuration. Also, the JMX information that is provided to monitor the connection pool has evolved.
