Bonita BPM 7 is available
It's here!
Bonita BPM 7.0 is now available for you to download .
Here are the new features in Bonita BPM 7 Community edition:
User Interface (UI) Designer A new graphical web-based, drag and drop, designer to design process forms and application pages. This designer is highly extensible and allows you to create your own widgets easily. The UI Designer replaces the Form Builder that was present in earlier versions. The Form Builder is still present, to support existing development, but you are recommended to upgrade to use the new tooling.
Contract A new concept, called the “Contract,” offers a clear separation between the process and the user interface. This modular architecture brings in greater flexibility and agility and offers the ability to apply changes "on-the-fly."
Business Data Management Define the data model for your tenant and share data between processes and applications.
Business Application Create highly customizable, personalized applications for specific end-user needs. Use the Application Editor, available in the Bonita BPM Portal, for creating an application consisting of pages built using the UI Designer or an external tool.
REST API Extension Create your own REST APIs and use them in the application pages or forms for complete extensibility.
Bonita Home Restructure The “Bonita Home” folder has been restructured to simplify the configuration and management of Bonita BPM installation. Bonita BPM 7 provides complete backward compatibility to processes and applications designed using Bonita BPM 6. So, you can upgrade to Bonita BPM 7 easily. (The migration script is available here in the "Migration tool" section.)
You'll also find the following improvements and features in the Subscription editions:
UI Designer: You can accelerate UI design with advanced widgets and reusable UI fragments.
Connector Development Toolkit Ensure higher development productivity and quality with the ability to develop and test the custom connectors outside of Bonita BPM Studio, directly in your preferred Java IDE.
Live Update Adapt in real-time with the ability to apply live changes to web forms, application pages and groovy scripts in addition to process parameters and connector implementations.
Business Application Customization Easily customize the theme and layout for each application. Also, business applications can be created per user profile to provide better personalization for the users.
Responsive UI Design user interfaces that are optimized to work on any device (mobile and web).
