CAS-PGE, crawler, workflow manager and resource manager can now all be used together, in a forwards (Wengine/Workflow2) and backwards compatible way. Early WEngine features including explicit support for branch and bounds in policy, inheritable configuration, global workflow conditions, task-level timeouts and post conditions, are now all supported.
