This is a bugfix and stability release, adding message
aggregation actions (combine, gather), a minor (and
backwards-compatible) addition to actions API, and fixes for
bugs in the scheduler and workflow editor.

This release includes many new features and enhancements. The workflow engine is a more powerful BPML implementation, and now includes standard activities such as switch, assign, all, sequence, delay, and foreach. The workflow editor ("route builder") has been overhauled for better visualization and greater ease of use, with support for the new flow control features. Integration with JBoss provides new capabilities, including JMS actions and listeners. Numerous changes have also been made to performance and message handling capabilities.

This is the latest beta release of the 5.7 code
base. New features include an LDAP action and LDIF
message formatter to assist in working with LDAP
data sources. Version 5.7 also includes the
ability to configure actions dynamically, allowing
the runtime contents of a message to be used as
configuration information. Improvements to the map
builder include a trim macro, search feature, and
various tree interface enhancements that will
assist in the handling of large schemas.

This version includes fixes for bugs that were
reported in the 5.6.3 release.

This release fixes minor bugs in the previous beta releases.
