The Apache ODE team is pleased to announce the release of Apache ODE
1.3.6. It includes 42 bug fixes and improvements.

Apache ODE is a WS-BPEL 1.1/2.0 compliant web services orchestration
engine. It organizes web services calls following a process
description written in the BPEL XML grammar. Another way to describe
it would be a web-service capable workflow engine.

Highlights of this release:
 * Support for ServiceMix 4.5.x
 * Upgrade to Axis2 1.5.6 / Rampart 1.5.2
 * Fairer job scheduling / more reliable under load
 * Namespace declarations are now retained correctly in assigns
 * Integer to string conversion in XPath 1.0 fixed (found via Betsy)
 * Foreach completion condition is now implemented (found via Betsy)
 * Termination handlers are now supported
 * Displays a warning if datasources/transaction managers are not
correctly configured

In addition to these new features, Apache ODE provides the following
functionalities:

* Side-by-side support for both the WS-BPEL 2.0 OASIS standard and the
legacy BPEL4WS 1.1 vendor specification.
* Supports 2 communication layers: one based on Axis2 (Web Services
http transport) and another one based on the JBI standard (using
ServiceMix).
* High level API to the engine that allows you to integrate the core
with virtually any communication layer.
* Hot-deployment of your processes.
* Compiled approach to BPEL that provides detailed analysis and
validation at the command line or at deployment.
* Management interface for processes, instances and messages.
* Process execution based on a high-performance virtual machine.
