### Improved password encryption
MaxScale 1.4.0 uses the MD5 version of the crypt function which is more secure
than the non-MD5 version. This means that a new password file needs to be
created with `maxkeys`. The configuration file should be updated to use the new
passwords. This can be done with the help of the `maxpasswd` utility. For more
details about how to do this, please refer to the installation guide:
[MariaDB MaxScale Installation Guide](../Documentation/Getting-Started/MariaDB-MaxScale-Installation-Guide.md)
## Removed Features
* MaxScale no longer supports SSLv3.
