What's New in Workflower 1.3.0

Support for BPMN models without swimlanes

(@iteman, #24)

This provides support for BPMN models without swimlanes by providing the default role. All existing assertions in allocateWorkItem() / startWorkItem() / completeWorkItem() on Workflow that assert the participant acts as the given role will still be called with the default role ID __ROLE__.

Send Task support

(@SirWaddles, #25)

Send Tasks have been supported. As per the BPMN2 specification, since a Send Task operation will send a message and then complete itself (and also has a field for operation reference), it uses the same mechanism as the OperationalInterface so can be passed to the OperationRunner for sending (check if implements MessageInterface).

Reading document from string

(@SirWaddles, #17)

A workflow definition can be read from XML string by using Bpmn2Reader::readSource().

New minimum required Symfony version

(@iteman, #27)

As of this version, Symfony 2.8.0 or greater is required.

Workflower 1.1.0 (stable)

Release Date: 2016-04-27 UTC

What's New in Workflower 1.1.0

WorkflowContextInterface

(@iteman, Issue #12)

A WorkflowContextInterface object is the replacement of a bare workflow ID. This allows you to use arbitrary specification of the Workflow ID. For example, see WorkflowContext in PHPMentorsWorkflowerBundle.

An ExpressionLanguage object can be specified

(@77web, Issue #11)

An ExpressionLanguage object can be specified to a Workflow object by Workflow::setExpressionLanguage().

A ParticipantInterface object can be specified

(@iteman, Issue #8)

An ParticipantInterface object can be specified to a WorkItemContext object by WorkItemContext::setParticipant(). This allows you to allocate an acting participant instead of the authenticated participant.

Workflower 1.0.0 (stable)
