Release Notes
The most important new functions are described on this page.
Changes within the BPC version are documented in Changelog.
Explanation of versioning
Versions of the BPC are regularly released with different version numbers. A version number consists of three parts: major.minor.patch.
A change to the major version number(e.g. 4.0) indicates that the release contains significant changes to the software.
For example, APIs have been changed or removed, major changes have been made to the user interface or major features have been removed or added.
The change to the minor version number(e.g. 4*.3*) may contain new features or changes to existing features or the removal of features.
Changes may also occur for supported platforms (e.g. databases, operating systems, Git versions).
The change of the patch version number(e.g. 4.3*.1*) may contain bug fixes, stability and performance improvements.
Minor changes to existing features may be delivered, but these do not include new features or critical changes.
Breaking changes are usually intended to close potential security vulnerabilities and can therefore occur in all releases.
However, the aim is still to place these changes in major releases.
Breaking changes are highlighted in Changelog.
5.0
Design
The BPC design has been slightly adapted. The main color has been changed and individual elements have become a little rounder. The basic arrangement of the operating elements has remained unchanged.
Administration UI
The administration interfaces have been adapted. For example, forms are now offered throughout to provide assistance with the settings. This is intended to prevent incorrect configurations and simplify use.
Collaboration
BPC 5 is intended to support collaborative working. Chat and Online User List have been introduced for this purpose. Collaborative working is to be supplemented by further functions in the coming releases.
Security Cockpit
A Security cockpit is now available in the administration area. This provides an overview of the IT security of the BPC installation. In addition, a Plugin which directly displays the current status.
Detailed information can be found on the page Security cockpit or Security Cockpit Plugin.
S3 File-Storage
There is now an additional File-Storage API is now offered, which makes it possible to store large files. This should make it easy to store binary files for your process data and integrate them into your processes.
