<div><br></div> Unfortunately, we have limited resources to maintain older branches in the community. While backporting fixes like this is usually quick (a few minutes of work if the source code did no diverge too much), making a full release involves usually more than a week of work by multiple members of the team. We feel that it is much more productive to use that time towards the new release putting it out sooner rather than later. <div>
<br></div><div> In any case, users can always build from source themselves if they need the fix sooner and this kind of bug is typically found during the productization and does not usually affect the product. In the rare instances that it does, customers receive patches created by the Red Hat product team. </div>
<div><br></div><div> The source is available in github: <a href="https://github.com/organizations/droolsjbpm">https://github.com/droolsjbpm</a> and building it is just a few maven commands. You can check the documentation for instructions.</div>

<div><br></div> Hi all,<div><br></div><div> Just a heads up, in case you are using the community release 5.4.0.Final in a multi-threaded application, be aware that we found a quite serious racing condition bug:</div><div>
<br></div><div><a href="https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3573" target="_blank">https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3573</a></div><div><br></div><div> The bug is now fixed in 5.4.x branch, so I strongly recommend that you build from source and use that instead. The bug was also fixed in the up-stream branch and will be released in 5.5.0.</div>
<div><br></div><div> IMPORTANT: if you are a Red Hat subscriber, you don't need to do anything as the problem did not exist in the product release.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>
