I’m really excited to announce today the release of Bonita Open Solution M5. This version is the last milestone before the release of Bonita Open Solution v5 (in a couple of weeks from now!).
While this version is a milestone it includes three major features that we wanted to bring you before the 5.0 release:
- The connectors creation wizard
- The web forms and web applications editor
- The data management editor (based on groovy)

We love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to provide your feedback and comments on those features on the BPM community, actually your community!
Miguel
