1. New
1.1. Decision requirement diagram (DRD) in Blueriq Encore
It is now possible to visualize your knowledge model in Blueriq Encore using the decision requirement diagram (DRD), formerly known as the decision requirement graph (DRG). The DRD is based on the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard and includes nodes for Decisions, Business knowledge, and Input data.
When using both the quick test and the DRD, the elements that are hit while sourcing the attribute in the quick test are highlighted in the DRD, as shown in the example below. This visualization provides a powerful explanation of how the Blueriq rule engine derives a value based on a profile.
1.2. Inference rule indicator in attribute editor
Blueriq Encore now indicates if an attribute is used as a target attribute in logic elements (decision table, business rule, data rule, external rule). This allows for easily finding all related inference rules as well as creating new rules (with pre-filled target attributes) and is an improvement compared to looking at dependencies, as dependencies are not easily filtered by inference elements and would include rules that use the attribute as their input, not as target attribute.
1.3. Design mode for data mapping editor in Blueriq Encore
A simplified layout has been added to the data mapping editor, allowing the business engineer to focus on the specific purpose of designing a data mapping, where the full mode can still be used to simulate and unit test a data mapping:

1.4. REST Security
Prior to Blueriq 16.8, Blueriq did not support message layer security for REST services. With Blueriq 16.8 we introduced message layer security for both the AQ_RestServiceClient and REST services. For more information about this feature, please refer to the REST Security documentation.
2. Enhancements
| Enhancement | Details |
|---|---|
| Gateway login and logout redirect allow-list. | The Gateway Service now enforces an login and logout redirect allow-list to prevent possible man in the middle attack. The allow-lists are in place to guarantee that users are redirected to URLs that are known to be correct and secure. This addition to the Gateway Service's security is required. Please follow the upgrade instructions to update the Gateway Service's configuration. |
| JWT Authentication Provider token verification | The JWT Authentication Provider now validates and updates new incoming JWT tokens, more information can be found here. |
| Updated favicon for Encore | The browser tab icon for Blueriq Encore has been updated and now shows the Encore logo to make it more recognizable. |
| Import profile in quick test in Encore | Transfering a profile from the runtime to the quick test in Encore has been made easy now that it is possible to import profiles in the quick test in Encore. |
| Prefilled name of to be duplicated element in Encore | When duplicating an element in Blueriq Encore, the user has to enter the new name of this element. This name field is now prefilled with the name of the original element which is likely to resemble the name of the duplicated element. |
| Toolbar in page and container editor in Blueriq Encore | The page and container editor now have a toolbar from which all tree nodes can be expanded or collapsed and selected items can be deleted. More tools, such as controls for multi-select and broader use in other editors, will follow later. |
| Increased width of dropdowns in page and container editor in Blueriq Encore | In the page and container editor, the width of inputs for inline fields, (inline) containers, buttons, text items, content items, images, and assets have been increased to improve the readability of items that have a long name. |
| Default multi-tenant rabbitmq properties. | When using a multi-tenant setup, it is now possible to configure default rabbitmq properties per tenant. In that way you can configure common properties per tenant once instead of repeating it for each component in the Runtime. For more information see: Multi-tenant setup |
| Document Renderer Service JPEG size reduction | The document renderer now reduces size of YCbCr jpeg images that are included inside a document. |
| Beta label removed from light theme in Encore | Based on feedback, we have performed a few tweaks in the light theme and removed the beta label from it. |
| Audit Component - removal of Logback | In the Audit Component, Logback has been replaced with Rabbitmq. Please follow the upgrade instructions to update the Audit Component properties. |

- backup your
spring.config.additional-locationdirectory ([Blueriq installation directory]\Runtime) - backup any config files you have altered under [Blueriq installation directory]\Services
before you start the upgrade.

Identifier | Component | Issue | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
BQ-22071 | Audit Consumer, BMA, Customer Data Service, DCM Dashboard, DCM Lists Service, Gateway, Maintenance App, Publisher | Components contained CVE-2024-22233 on spring-core version 6.0.14 | Components have upgraded spring-boot version to 3.1.8 which increases spring-core version to 6.0.16 |
BQ-21959 | Audit Consumer | Components contain CVE-2023-48795 on sshd-osgi version 2.10.0 | Components have upgraded sshd-osgi version to 2.12.0 |
BQ-21932 | DCM Dashboard, JAVA Runtime, Publisher | Components contained CVE-2023-51074 on json-path version 2.8.0 | Components have upgraded json-path version to 2.9.0 |
BQ-21927 | Encore | There were inconsistencies when working with builtin entities in the quick test panel | It is now possible to fully manage instances of builtin entities, but it is not allowed to use them as a target instance when sourcing an attribute |
CSD-5032 | Material | Opening two sessions (including external flow sessions) simultaneously could cause one session to become unavailable if the sessions were created in individual HTTP sessions, each with their own cookie. The last cookie to be received would win, causing the first session to no longer be reachable. | The `@blueriq/angular` NPM package now ensures that sessions on the same host are started sequentially. A custom frontend needs to be updated to 0.17.6 or later to benefit from this change. |
CSD-5063 | Java Runtime | Contrary to manual tasks, when an automatic task is cancelled, the data mapping is still executed. | Just like manual tasks, when an automatic task is cancelled, no data mapping is executed. |
