"Something went wrong" - UI error in OAuth relying components

June 17, 10:26 UTC - After releasing a new version of OAuth broker we have identified that UI of components relying on OAuth authorization is broken, displaying only message: "Something went wrong".

UPDATE 11:01 UTC - We have reverted the release to previous version, which restored the functionality. We are still investigating this issue. It's possible that the problem also affected jobs of these components.

UPDATE 11:31 UTC - We have confirmed that the jobs of the components were unaffected by this bug

Failed attempts to run jobs in US region

UPDATE June 9, 07:14 UTC: Failures were caused by incorrect connection parameters handling in component. Only configurations using SSH Tunnel were affected. We are working on better test coverage for these cases to avoid the similar issues. We sincerely apologize for the errors.  

MySQL extractor errors

We are investigating MySQL extractor errors for some configurations ending with error message: 

The "incrementalFetchingColumn" must be configured, if incremental fetching is enabled.
