# Changes in Java Agent 5.10.x

## Java Agent 5.10.4

### URL handling

To improve security, we've made changes to how the agent handles incoming URLs. These changes may affect the agent's behavior because not-enforced rules and AM policies are evaluated against normalized paths with the path parameters removed.

Learn more about these changes in [URL handling](whats-new.html#url-handling-5104).

## Java Agent 5.10

### Logback

Log messages in Java Agent and third-party dependencies are now recorded using the Logback implementation of the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) API.

From this release, `TRACE` is the highest log level. In previous releases, `ON` was the highest log level.

From this release, when the log level is `ON`, `TRACE` level logs are written to file. In previous releases, `TRACE` level logs were written to the standard output.
