Release Notes

• Security fix Long Term Support release.

Bug fixes:

• Case file items inside stages would sometime cause issues with the data mapping.
• Deploying a case using the debug execution profile prevents decisions from properly executing.

Bug fixes:

• An empty result would incorrectly depict a No decision logic defined message.

Bug fixes:

New and improved features:

• Support for DMN 1.6:
  • Import and export in the DMN 1.6 XML.
  • B-FEEL dialect support.
  • Descendant (…) operator.
  • Date and time data types now have a value attribute.
  • New date and time function with IANA time zone.
  • Rounding functions with a single parameter.
• Introduced Analytic Data:
  • Analytic data are a subset of the data elements that are part of a process (data object/input/output) or a case (case file item) that has analytic value.
  • The modeler allows to define FEEL expressions to generate analytic data from a service instance.
  • Cloud Execution allows to download the analytic data in a CSV file using filters.
  • The exported CSV can be analysed in your favorite Business Intelligence tool (Excel, PowerBI, Tableau, …).
  • Analytic data for completed services is dependent on the History enabled setting for the deployment environment.
  • A new service event is published when new analytic data is generated for external integration in audit and debug execution profiles.
• The FEEL expression in workflows and cases also support the new features of DMN 1.6 (B-FEEL, descendant operator, …).
• An information panel present the instance name, tags and analysis data when testing workflow processes.
• Boxed context result can now use any type of boxed expression.
• When a missing model link is reported when opening a model, clicking on the error will now open the proper context to relink or remove the link.
• The API to list service instances now supports an additional attribute to specify an AND or OR when supplying multiple tags.
• New automation messages are now available for events sent and received (ServicePublishedEvent, ServiceReceivedEvent) in the debug profile.
• Template configurations now use the default configuration for any link that is not overloaded by a configuration.
• It is now possible to change reuse by copy links in template configurations.

Bug fixes:

• The case instance API was not returning the process sub-instances.
• Timer events would prevent the proper deployment of case services.

• The alternative depiction of data types is now available on the diagram instead of the data input.
• Sometimes criterions were duplicated in CMMN XML.

Non-Backward Compatible Changes:

• DMN 1.6 defines a JSON binding. The JSON binding is mostly aligned with our current API binding but there is one exception for IANA time zones. Previously, a date and time with an IANA timezone would be represented as: 2007-12-03T10:15:30@Europe/Paris. The new binding defines this format instead: 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00[Europe/Paris]. Therefore, starting on this version, our REST API and message payloads have been updated to align to the mandated format.
