Re: [rules-users] Drools KB Object hierarchy Serilisation and Deserialisation thread safety issue

Adarsh, CR1 is "candidate release 1" and is available from the JBoss Maven Repositories. 5.6.0.Final will probably be released this week. There are quite a few internal differences between 5.3 and 5.6, but as far as I know the APIs have remained the same, so it should be possible to switch almost effortlessly. Others may be able to comment on their upgrade experience. Ruleflows, however, have been informally deprecated in favor of proper bpmn business processes for a while, so not much was added there, but they should still be supported in 5.6. Also remember that even 5.6, while a bit more robust from that perspective, is not guaranteed to be 100% thread safe.
