EximeeBPMS 1.3.x Enterprise Edition Release Notes

Edition: Enterprise  |  Baseline: EximeeBPMS 1.3.0 CE

1.3.1-ee

Release date: 29.07.2026

Highlights

  • Business Events massively expanded — jobs, batches, incidents, external tasks, activity instances, DMN decision evaluations, form property updates, and the user operation log are now all published as business events, on top of the process/task/variable events already available since 1.2.16-ee
  • Configurable business event type prefix — the default prefix changes from camunda7 to bpms (see Breaking Changes below)
  • JDK 25 compatibility — the CI matrix now verifies the engine on both JDK 21 and JDK 25
  • Graceful shutdown now waits for in-flight external task executions to finish before stopping ExecutorRunner
  • SQL migration scripts split between the upcoming 1.3 and 1.4 schema versions, to keep incremental upgrades scoped correctly

New Features

Business Events Expansion

The Business Events transactional outbox, introduced in 1.2.16-ee, now covers most engine-level occurrences instead of just the process/task/variable lifecycle:

  • Activity instances — start, update, migrate, end
  • Jobs — create, fail, success, delete
  • Batches — start, update, end
  • External tasks — create, fail, success, delete
  • Incidents — create, migrate, resolve, update, delete
  • DMN decision evaluations — evaluate (bundles the root decision with any required sub-decisions from the same DRG)
  • Form properties — form-property-update, for both start forms and task forms
  • User operation log — create, one event per changed property, correlated by operationId
  • Process instance migration — process-instance:migrate and task-instance:migrate alongside the existing variable-instance:migrate

This turns Business Events into a general-purpose, real-time feed of engine activity suitable for audit trails, SIEM ingestion, and operational dashboards, without polling the history tables.

Configurable Business Event Prefix

The prefix prepended to every business event’s fully-qualified type (the <prefix> in <prefix>:<entity>:<event>) is now configurable:

eximeebpms.bpm.business-events.prefix=bpms

The default value changes from camunda7 to bpms — see Breaking Changes.

Other Engine Improvements

  • Graceful shutdown now waits for in-flight external task executions started by ExecutorRunner to finish, instead of interrupting them, before the engine stops.

Breaking Changes

Default Business Event Type Prefix Changed (camunda7 → bpms)

Business events published before this release used the hardcoded prefix camunda7 (e.g. camunda7:task-instance:complete). As of 1.3.1-ee, the prefix is configurable and defaults to bpms (e.g. bpms:task-instance:complete).

If you have downstream consumers — SIEM correlation rules, stream processors, dashboards — that match on the literal event type string, they will stop matching after upgrading unless you either update them to the new bpms: prefix, or set eximeebpms.bpm.business-events.prefix=camunda7 to preserve the previous type strings during a staged migration.

Note that the envelope’s metadata.origin field is not affected by this setting — it remains the literal bpms regardless of the configured prefix. See Business Events — Event Envelope.

Technical Updates

JDK 25 Compatibility

The CI integration test matrix now runs against JDK 21 (still the primary supported build/runtime target) and JDK 25, verifying forward compatibility ahead of a future JDK baseline bump.

→ Tech Stack

Build & CI

  • SQL migration scripts are now split between the upcoming 1.3 and 1.4 schema versions: the ACT_RU_SCRIPT_VIOLATION table creation (previously bundled into the 1.2-to-1.3 upgrade script) moves to its own dedicated schema component upgrade, and the 1.3-to-1.4 upgrade path becomes an explicit, independently taggable Liquibase changeset (1.3-to-1.4). This release does not otherwise change the database schema: the Business Events added in this release reuse the existing generic ACT_RU_BUS_EVT_OBX outbox table (see Business Event Outbox) — no new tables or columns were required.
  • SonarQube analysis runs as a non-blocking CI step, so transient analysis issues no longer fail unrelated builds.
  • Lightweight GitHub-hosted CI jobs moved to the ubuntu-slim runner image; various self-hosted runner, Dependabot concurrency, and Slack notification fixes to reduce CI flakiness.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a race in LoginIT causing intermittent timeouts; extended logging added for diagnosis.
  • Resolved integration test failures following the SLF4J version bump.
  • Fixed integration test database setup issues.
  • Fixed a flaky ExternalTaskHandlerIT variable assertion.

Security

No CVE-targeted fixes in this release. For the most recent enterprise security patches, see EximeeBPMS 1.2.x EE Release Notes (1.2.19-ee) and the Security Notices page.
