    3.3.0.GA DB Migration warning

    In the hibernate mappings, all the properties that were mapped  as string with length="4000" were replaced  with the hibernate text type.

    For many DB's this means a big improvement.  But for some,  this might introduce a backwards incompatible change if the  hibernate text type is not compatible with the  hibernate string type.

    If you do encounter a problem with this, please "Create New Issue"  for it in our jBPM JIRA.

    If you do want to revert to the old style mappings, you'll have to unjar your jbpm-jpdl.jar, apply this patch file and then re-jar the jbpm-jpdl.jar file.

    Apart from this potential issue, there is the normal DB  migration as described below

    Known limitations

    XML editing in the process designer

    Direct editing of XML can lead to crashes in the graphical designer. This will be fixed in one of the next releases.  Before you start editing the process XML source, make sure you create a backup copy.

    Transition buttons in task forms

    When generating a task form for a task, the transitions are not  automatically populated in the generation dialog.  Users have to  enter the transition names and the button labels manually.  If you  don't do this no transition buttons will be generated to complete the  task in the task form.

    Workaround: First option is to add the transition buttons  in the task form generation dialog.  If you generated a task form without transition buttons, you still can complete the task with the console.   Just save the variables in the task form and then in the 'Views' menu,  select 'Transitions'.  There you can click the 'end task' link for  each of the available transitions.

    Security vulnerability for GPD deployment

    In the suite distribution, the console that is deployed in the server contains a servlet that allows the designer to deploy processes directly  to a running server.  This servlet is unprotected and people could load  any process into a default installation.  Security constraints will be  added in 3.2.2  See also http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-991
