UPDATE: Due to a critical issue discovered with this release, customers are advised to go straight to Appway Release 6.1.3.
---
Appway 6.1.2 contains 41 bugfixes, 17 changes and 10 new features.
This release focuses on performance improvements: Most changes and bugfixes solve performance bottlenecks, mainly for installations with a large set of process instances. Similarly, many of the new features relate to detecting potential future bottlenecks.
Before upgrading to 6.1.2, make sure that scripts have been updated for Appway 6. "Read-only" process instances, introduced with Appway 6.0, are strictly implemented from 6.1.2 onwards. Any attempt to modify read-only process instances or tokens will fail. See System Upgrade 5.3.x to 6.x, "Process Instance Locking" for more information.
Highlights are listed below. For a comprehensive list of new and updated features, see the full release notes (PDF).
CPU Statistics
Appway can collect advanced CPU statistics per Java thread, servlet, scheduled job and distributed task. The results can be viewed in the Studio under "Administration > CPU Statistics". To enable this feature, set the configuration property "nm.cpustatistics.enabled" to "true".
Script Language Performance
The performance of the built-in script language has been improved by up to a factor of two, mainly due to a new fast look-up cache for frequently accessed Business Objects.
JMX Monitoring
Some additional JMX MBeans and MBean attributes have been implemented for this release. Information about all in-memory caches, statistics around process instance locks, and counters for the internal Hazelcast operation service are now exposed through JMX.
Batch Actions on Process Instances in Console
The batch actions on all visible process instances (selected by the current filter configuration) have been reintroduced.
