Release notes

The 2024.3 version is in development.

Bonita UI Builder

We are excited to announce the release of Bonita UI Builder, our new and enhanced development environment for creating all kind of interfaces, pages and forms for your applications! It brings along a host of advanced features and improved usability, designed to help you create compelling, responsive, and user-friendly interfaces.

You can continue to use Bonita UI Designer as usual, while also having the opportunity to explore and get familiar with the capabilities of Bonita UI Builder.

Eventually, Bonita UI Designer will be phased out as we progressively transition to Bonita UI Builder. Rest assured, we are committed to providing comprehensive support and resources throughout this process. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible, minimizing any disruption to your workflow.

Here’s what you can expect during this transition period:

  • Continued access: Bonita UI Designer will remain fully operational for an extended period, allowing ample time for adaptation

  • Support and resources: We offer extensive documentation, tutorials, and support to help you make the most of Bonita UI Builder

  • Facilitated transition: We are dedicated to facilitate the transition, with detailed guides on how to use Bonita UI Builder, as well as professional services support

New available values

Application Links

You can now use application links. See Applications with Bonita UI Builder for more details. Community users can also integrate their own links for applications developed with other tools. See FAQ for common problems and solutions (e.g. if you use a customized or an old layout).

Engine APIs that allowed applications manipulation still work with legacy applications and have been deprecated in favor of new APIs that manipulate both application links and legacy applications.

REST APIs (see Application section) now also return application links in addition of legacy applications.

Bug fixes

Fixes in Bonita 2024.3-b2 (2024/07/26)

Fixes in Bonita Runtime (including Bonita Applications)

  • RUNTIME-1697 - Avoid reading configuration from database, in favor to caching
    Bonita Runtime makes heavy usage of cache to improve performance. In that context, most configuration changes require server restart to be taken into account. In particular, all SSO activations and configuration changes fall into this category (OIDC, SAML, Kerberos, JAAS, …​).

  • RUNTIME-1877 - Session Sharing x sameSiteCookies value systematically set to "lax" when cluster is enabled. New configuration properties specific to cluster mode and session cookie have been added.

  • RUNTIME-1883 - Add extra java 17 open packages instructions for Bundle packaging

  • RUNTIME-1884 - password attribute silently removed from org.bonitasoft.engine.identity.impl.UserImpl class. Add removal information in the release note. Make the XStream deserialization less strict to avoid deserialization exception when a some fields are unknown.

  • RUNTIME-1887 - Regression in ServerProxifier algorithm produce a greater number of SQL requests.

  • RUNTIME-1890 - [LDAP Synchronizer] - Add add-opens for packaged scripts
