Release Notes
v5.21.0 on the GitHub
New Features
Added ability to save and export test results in MS Excel format
Test results are presented in MS Excel file with a convenient layout and higlighting. Passed test cases are marked green, so it is simple to see regression results. Comments indicate what the expected result was for failed tests.
Added auto-configuration for various Java versions and memory sizes
OpenL Demo package will automatically adjust settings for platform specifics. There won't be any need to edit Windows system environment settings or define Java configuration parameters in most cases. User will need just to install the latest Java and run start.cmd in the Demo package.
All division operations on numbers became floating point
All division operations return floating point result, so result of integer division like 1/4 became 0.25. This change requires regression testing of existing rules.

Migration Notes
Rules Service
The following properties were changed
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| repository.encode.decode.key = This is the key for password secure | repository.encode.decode.key = |
OpenL Rules
- All rules calculations should be revised. Because of changed type of division operations, please be aware that 7/4 is equal 1.75, not 1. Returned type became Double instead of Integer. Users who still need to use whole number division logic will need to adjust their rules.
- Because of more strict table structures, it is possible that some tables would not be compiled/parsed. In this case, please check neighboring rows/columns. All comments (notes) in cells must be started from '//' (two slashes)
