Our latest updates​
What's new in the 2025 spring release
The 2025 Spring release brings various improvements and other noteworthy updates to our Workbench, Studios, Runtime and Documentation portal. Helping you transform regulations into compliant applications faster, easier, and more agile.
The release date is April 15, 2025.
Introduction of the integration modeling language
This release introduces the integration metamodel, a language to describe the integration specific channels of a system, and the operations metamodel to capture interface definitions with their input and output. These new metamodels can be used to create the business design, together with the already available domain languages.
Support for unstructured sources
Sometimes a structured, formal source of the content you want to use is not available. In the 2025 Spring release of the Workbench we have added the option to copy-and-paste your text from websites, Microsoft Word or PDF files into a rich text editor and let the Workbench transform this into a structured source. Although the editor tries to use as much of the structure available, the editor also enables you to update the text and styling. The headers, derived and/or manually created, are used to identify and create sections. These sections will be used to create the table of contents when you view the document in the Workbench.
Other noteworthy
AI-enabled Workbench assistants
LLM based Workbench assistant services can help the norm engineer with the initial annotation and speed-up the modeling of the norms. These assistant services are still in the validation stage and not available for all customers yet.Â
Out-of-the-box access to regulations
To make it easier to find and use the relevant set of legislative documents, we have implemented connectors to two legal content providers: Deloitte’s RegExplorer (https://www.regulatoryexplorer.com) and RequirementONE (https://www.requirementone.com). As these connectors are still under validation, we have enabled this option only to an initial set of customers. Further, using the content from these providers requires an additional license subscription. If you have interest in participating in the validation of the AI-enabled assistants or the out-of-the-box regulatory source providers, please contact Be Informed support (support@beinformed.com).Â
Updated integration adapter pattern
Alongside the new integration modeling language, and the service operations released in 2023 Autumn, we have updated the information on the integration best practices on Be Informed Plaza. The information on Be Informed Plaza, including the integration adapter example, now uses the new integration metamodels and is based on the AMS configuration generated by the new application patterns. For more information see:Â Best practice: configuring an integration adapter.
Improved support for time offsets in APIs
As a follow up of the improvements on using time zones in the previous release, from 2025 Spring onwards the default for exchanging date times in APIs is the ISO date time format including time offsets. This is in accordance with the ISO and IETF internet standards for communicating date times between systems (ISO 8601 and IETF RFC 3339). For existing projects a simple compatibility setting is available to prevent regression. Â
Improvements in generating application behavior
Based on the feedback of our user community, we made it easier to generate behavior for time limits using precision of minutes and to define the case properties already in the business design.
Bug fixes and smaller improvements
Furthermore this release contains bug-fixes and smaller improvements.
Platform update
In alignment with developments in the open-source Java libraries used in the Be Informed platform, we made a transition from Java EE (the javax namespace) to Jakarta EE (the jakarta namespace). This is driven by our policy to use current versions of third party libraries where possible to take advantage of new features and (security) improvements brought by the latest versions.
The consequences of this update is that AMS server now requires Tomcat 10.1 and many third party libraries have been updated to newer versions.
