New Features:
- Forms can easily be extracted from a flow so they can be reused in other flows or as a standalone form (#9118).
- Upload control mime detection library upgraded to Apache Tika for improved mime type detection (#11720).
- Hide table columns via business rules (#12209).
- Several new built-in methods are available for business rules to access information such as user details (first name, last name, email, reports to) and list users in a given role or roles (#15486, #17461).
- Rule debug event type RULE_SCHEDULE displays rule execution cycle (#16841).

Behavior Change:
- When a user has the role or user required to execute the next step in a flow the prior behavior was to allow the current user to immediately navigate to the next step and the flow was not saved to the submission repository. In effect the two flow step became part of a screen flow rather than a workflow step as the designer intended. The new behavior correctly saves the flow to the submissions repository and puts the flow on the task list of the user(s) and sends task notification emails to the user(s). (#12765, #16135)
- Anonymous users can now access public forms that include features save/load and digital signatures which require a login. When the anonymous user clicks to save or sign they will be prompted to login (#12798).
- Audit Trail and Submissions UI show user first + last name. This replaces cryptic username. On hover shows full name [userid] (#16181) .
- Workflow navigation toolbar color and highlighting improvements to fix inconsistencies and improve intuitiveness (#16420).
- Rule execution timeout is doubled for http calls. Debug log contains more details of timeout period (#17124)
- Task search allows multi-select for various task states like 'aborted' to allow user to include/exclude for example aborted tasks from the search results (#17829)
- Anonymous activities with multiple sequential anonymous steps (aka screen flow) now support anonymous user clicking the link in the anonymous step email again. The anonymous user is brought back to the flow at the current/latest anonymous step for save on navigate flows. (#18190).
- Restrict rule access to current tenant for all frevvo users except superuser (#18211).
- Built-in features that use a dropdown control to select users (ex: modify task, ACL config, admin search task, escalation config) now use the new ComboBox control in order to support frevvo security mangers such as LDAP which have a max 1000 result set size limit. (#18217).
- Escalation configuration reassigning the task and sending reminders had an option called "Potential Owners". This has been renamed "Current Owners" (#18418).

End of Life Policy
frevvo supports major versions for two years. For example, frevvo supported Live Forms 4.1.x for 2 years after the first GA release in the v4.1 series. The first GA release was v4.1.1 on December 12, 2010. Thus technically end of life would be December 12, 2012. However in this case frevvo extended the End of Life Date for the v4.1 series to October 5, 2014. Documentation for Live Forms versions (in red - beginning with v5.1)) that are no longer supported is available on our frevvo Documentation Directory.
