Very good news. Bonita Open Solution v5 Milestone 5 is available to download; test it! Now there is a trilogy – 3 killer features to rule the world. We’ve made Bonita Open Solution more powerful to use: you’ll be glad to see the connector wizard, the forms editor and the groovy editor.
This week, we received a great contribution: a video from a Spanish community member that shows the end-to-end flow design of an insurance claim process.
We are starting to experiment with different kinds of business processes using Bonita Open Solution. We welcome any contributions (even from our own developers). This week we have one: Buy a Mini Cooper with Bonita Open Solution.
Presenting the BonitaSoft mug. Coffee, tea, chicken soup? This mug is able to support all tastes. We’re giving them away and we need your help.
They are destined for the best connector coding submissions.
Send yours in by 20 December and use your new mug for the new year.

Live from R&D
This week, our tech guys improved the sql resources usage. They hunted down and killed a lot of SQL queries. Now there are fewer of them taking up valuable runtime. We compared version 5 to version 4 and there are currently at least 40% fewer SQL queries and at least 40% faster execution time.
