&lt;h2&gt;5.2.0&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Published Fri Nov 28 2025&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;⚠️BREKAING CHANGE in this release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Patch level changes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fix for settings objects not being deleted on extension shutdown. &lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; The API token provided to the extension should not be used for creating any other settings objects &lt;strong&gt;otherwise they will also be reomoved when this extension shuts down&lt;/strong&gt;. If you are not sure about your API token use, better create a new one and &lt;strong&gt;update your monitorin gconfiguations&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed the DRA metrics type to COUNT metrics, so they show the change over time instead of an accumulating value. &lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; this ia a breaking change. DRA metrics series lose continuity at upgrade. Make sure to &lt;strong&gt;update your monitoring configurations&lt;/strong&gt; as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Past release notes&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Removed the requirement to grant the entities.read permission to the access token.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue with extension instability on some systems where extension assets path character length sometimes exceeded maximum Windows OS limit of 260 characters. Affected behaviors included inability to start, inability to update extension configuration, inability to upgrade the extension, potentially also other unexpected effects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Enabled the extension to present the Dynatrace Platform (a.k.a. Gen3) entity details screens in the future platform apps that will expect these screens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;5.0.7&lt;/h2&gt;
