Version 2021
WHAT'S NEW IN MICROSTRATEGY ONE
MicroStrategy ONE introduces new features that provide better performance and
scalability to enhance the overall user experience. In addition, this release
introduces new features across the analytics, mobility, and security
platforms—making it easier for users to build applications faster.
Below are the new features exclusive to MicroStrategy ONE and its subsequent
updates. For a smooth upgrade, be sure to review the important version-specific
information regarding changes in the release that could impact functionality and
performance. For customers with an upgrade gap of more than one version, the
Readme for all intermediate versions can be found in Product Documentation.
Preview features are early versions of features and are not to be used in a
production environment as the core behavior remain subject to change between
preview and GA. By selecting to expose preview features in MicroStrategy
Workstation, you can access these features and use them as you would any other
dossier functionality. The official versions of preview features are included in
subsequent releases. Any preview features on this page are marked with Preview
Feature.
You must upgrade the Database Management Software (DBMS) to use the new features
in each release. See KB5779: How to update the database type in MicroStrategy
for more information about upgrading the DBMS via Developer.
You must perform a metadata update when upgrading from a pre-2021 release to
MicroStrategy ONE or MicroStrategy 2021.
Use the buttons below to view what's new in the MicroStrategy ONE and
MicroStrategy 2021 monthly and platform releases. All MicroStrategy ONE and
MicroStrategy 2021 updates include the features from the 2021 Platform Release.

Released on January 10, 2022
This release includes remediations for CVE-2021-45105 and CVE-2021-44832 by
upgrading to Apache Log4j 2 version to 2.17.1.
MicroStrategy 2021 Update 4.1 includes the following three remediated vendor
drivers, which have been upgraded to Log4j 2.17:
* Magnitude SparkSQL
* Hive
* ImpalaJDBC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021 UPDATE 4 (DECEMBER 2021)
This release includes remediations for CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046 by
upgrading to Apache Log4j 2 versions to 2.16.0.
MicroStrategy 2021 Update 4 includes three third-party, vendor-provided drivers
with embedded Log4j libraries. MicroStrategy has determined these libraries are
vulnerable. We are working with the vendors to make remediated drivers
available. In the interim, we recommend mitigation steps to be taken on the
following systems where these drivers are present: MicroStrategy Intelligence
Server and MicroStrategy Workstation. Environments deployed in the MicroStrategy
Cloud have these supplemental mitigation steps already applied.
Mitigation steps are detailed in MicroStrategy’s response to the Log4j
Vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) and (CVE-2021-45046).
