We're proud to announce the release of jBPM 5.1.0.
> jBPM is a flexible open-source Business Process Management (BPM) Suite.  The 
> core of jBPM is a light-weight, extensible workflow engine written   in pure 
> Java that allows you to execute business processes using the latest BPMN 2.0 
> specification.  It can run in any Java environment, embedded in your 
> application or as a service.  On top of that, it supports a lot of tooling to 
> support the business process through its entire life cycle, both for 
> developers and business users.  This includes an Eclipse plugin, web-based 
> Designer, repository, management console, etc.

jBPM 5.1 includes a lot of small bug fixes and feature enhancements based on 
the feedback we received from the community (for  
http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/01/jbpm-50-released.html jBPM 5.0).  Most 
important improvements include:
* The web-based  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch10.html Designer 
has been extended significantly to support all BPMN 2.0 constructs and to allow 
full round-tripping between the Eclipse-based and the web-based editor.  It 
also supports domain-specific nodes now, can be embedded, etc.


* A new  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch08.html jbpm-examples 
module contains a large number of example processes to show features like human 
tasks (including data passing and task forms), looping, multiple instances, 
rule-based integration, etc.  I will describe some of these examples in more 
detail in some additional blog entries in the next few days.


* Improved testing and debugging capabilities so you can easily  
http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/04/junit-testing-your-jbpm5-processes.html 
JUnit-test your processes.


* The  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ documentation has been 
refactored, updated and extended.  There's a new  
http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch01.html Overview and  
http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch02.html Getting Started chapter, 
and much more.  And we'll continue this work in the next few weeks as well, so 
you can expect more details soon.


* The  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch09.html new BPMN 2.0 Eclipse 
plugin has made significant steps forward as well.  The goal of this new editor 
is to support the full BPMN 2.0 specification .  It's still work in progress 
but it can already be used to create executable BPMN2 processes and execute 
them on jBPM5.  We'll be working hard to improve the usability in the next few 
months.


* Smaller feature enhancements, like
* Automatic synchronization of processes in the jbpm-console when new proceses 
are deployed on the Guvnor repository
* Simplified data passing to and from human tasks (and forms)
* Extended BPMN2 engine with support for repeating timers
* Support for multi-threading

A full overview of everything that was included can be found in the  
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM jBPM JIRA.

jBPM 5.1.0 is synchronized with Drools 5.2.0, which also has just been 
released.  If you want to know more, take a look

I'd like to thank everyone that contributed to this release! This includes not 
just the core developers obviously, but everyone in the community that 
contributed in one way or another, from testing, improving documentation, 
creating examples, bug reporting to submitting patches and feature 
contributions!
