You are viewing the documentation for Blueriq 16. Documentation for other versions is available in our documentation directory.
1. Highlights
As always, we aim to release new functionality fast as possible, which means that we don’t wait for a major if it’s not needed, keeping impact gradual and time to market short. Besides additions, we have removed a lot from Blueriq 16. Read below why this is something good.
Removals
- We have removed the Studio client from Blueriq 16. This means that its successor, Blueriq Encore, is now the way of creating and maintaining Blueriq models. With the removal of Blueriq Studio client, we're not dependent on the deprecated browser Internet Explorer. Instead, Blueriq Encore allows for a steady base in which we can invest by adding new improvements in the coming years starting from Blueriq 16.0.
- The administration pages has been removed because backing up and restoring is now integrated in Blueriq Encore (see below).
- We have removed the NTLM and Kerberos security modes from Encore/the Studio server since this connection can be made using Keycloak, allowing for a more flexible means of configuration.
- We have removed the bèta label from the case modelling which means you have now full support using case modelling in production.
Additions
- It is now possible to move elements from its current to another module in Blueriq Encore. The move funtionality is the first item on the Functional debt list of Encore that has been implemented.
- All repositories of models of the server up to 2 GB can now be backed up and restored in Blueriq Encore. This can be done using the cog icon in the bottom left corner within Blueriq Encore itself. A dialog with backup and restore options will then open:
Please refer to Studio server and Encore for more information about creating an restoring backups using either the user interface in Encore or the backup tool (for backup automation and file sizes >2GB).
Upgrades
- In the new Blueriq 16.0 release we gave our default libraries a big update.
- We have upgraded to Spring Boot 3 keeping Blueriq secure and stable.
- In Blueriq 16.1, we split up the blueriq-runtime maven module into several smaller modules. Please refer to the Blueriq 16.1 Release Notes for more information.
1.1. Case-Modelling
Case-Modelling is introduced and can be used in production environments. The new architecture uses several new components, like the Case-Engine, DCM-Lists-service and DCM-Maintenance-App. For an overview on the new DCM architecture, please check Getting started with Case Modelling. There is a list of model changes needed to work with the new architecture. These changes can be found at Model changes from Process-Modelling to Case-Modelling. Also, a development environment can be found at the downloads (DCM Installer) when you want to check out the new features. Make sure the right license is installed at the development environment in order to test the new Case-Modelling functionality. For an overview on how to run the installer, check Blueriq DCM Development Installation.
2. Documentation
Documentation on the new features and improvements of this release is linked in the respective topics.
3. Changes Platform Support
Our Platform support is updated. Due to changes in the Java ecosystem and the change in namespace from javax to jakarta, which are mandatory with the Spring Boot 3 upgrade. Our platform support also required some changes. Changes are:
3.1. New supported platforms*
- Support for Tomcat 10.1 has been added, and is required as Tomcat 9.0 does not contain the jakarta namespaces.
* Blueriq 16 will add support for JBoss EAP 8.0 once a final version is released. This will happen in a future minor release, once the final version of JBoss EAP 8.0 has been released.
3.2. Discontinued
- Support for JBoss EAP 7.3 has been dropped
- Support for JBoss EAP 7.4 has been dropped
- Support for Tomcat 9.0 has been dropped
4. Upgrade Instructions
See Release 16.0 Upgrade Instructions for the upgrade instructions for this release.
As a best practice
- backup your repository
- backup your database before running scripts
- 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.
5. Artifacts
The Blueriq artifacts are available under name: 16.0.0.1279
This release includes these versions of Blueriq components with a separate life cycle:
Component | Version |
|---|---|
| Customer Data Service | 4.2.0 |
| DCM Lists Service | 3.0.1 |
| Material Theme | 1.1.8 |
| Development tools frontend | 1.5.2 |
| DCM Maintenance App | 3.0.0 |
| Audit Consumer | 0.2.1 |
| DCM Dashboard Service | 0.2.1 |
| Gateway Service | 0.1.5 |
| Document Renderer | 1.1.2 |
6. Aquima Blueriq Libraries
In the new Blueriq 16.0 release we gave our default libraries a big update. Functionality is now better bundled into specific libraries in stead of being spread over several different libraries. This gives you the opportunity to do your project setup lean and mean. The new package can be found here.
Together with the new bundling we also did some clean up on the supported global definitions, these updates can be found in the individual release notes for each specific library.
7. Technical upgrades
The introduction of Blueriq 16 gives us the possibilities to new technologies like Spring Boot 3 which in turn gives customers an up-to-date and secure Blueriq platform. This entails many changes which can be found in further detail in the Release 16.0 Upgrade Instructions.
8. Libraries
In this release, the set of third party libraries that is used by Blueriq was updated. When your installation of Blueriq includes custom components (artifacts that do not ship with Blueriq, such as proprietary plugins), those components should be tested for compatibility with these changes.
