Activiti 5.17.0
Activiti 5.17.0 Released (2014-12-18), highlights of this release are noteworthy:
- We introduced a fully tested and completely new Async executor (asynchronous actuator), which replaces the old job executor. The new async executor uses fewer database queries to perform asynchronous work and has better performance. The default Activiti engine still uses the old work performer, so you have to explicitly select the new asynchronous executor by setting the Asyncexecutorenabled property in the process engine configuration. More details can be viewed in the Advanced Features section of the User Guide.
- Activiti Modeler is completely revised and implemented using Angular JS. This is a donation to the alfresco Activiti BPMN Editor, which is provided as part of the alfresco Activiti Enterprise version of the editor. The new Angular JS Activiti Modeler is a LGPL license. Note that some dialogs have not yet been ported to the new Activiti Modeler, but you will also find many new features, including Mule and Camel tasks, to define a sequential flow command for the private gateway. Really appreciate any new features that help and Add.
- User's Guide revised AsciiDoc rewrite
- You can now start a process instance to skip Skipexpression-based tasks. This is very handy when you migrate the process instance to the Activiti engine (thanks to Robert Hafner pull request).
- We have added a new module named ACTIVITI-JMX Activiti Project to start the jmx of the Activiti engine. Read Saeids Blog for more details (thanks to Saeid).
- For process instances and normal execution, the acquisition of variables has been optimized
- The database upgrade script uses a different version that is smaller than the JAR. The release version is 5.17.0, and 5.17.0.2 is the database version. This release allows us to post snapshots and be able to upgrade from a snapshot version to a stable version. 5.17.1 releases the database version will be 5.17.1.x,x can be any number. So only the last minor version number can be different from the Activiti engine release version.
