Process Engine Bug Fixes

From the perspective of the process engine, this release is primarily a bugfix release with some minor new features mostly in the case management support. Community users running the process engine in production might consider upgrading to this release.

Enterprise subscription customers have already received these bug fixes backported to the 7.2 branch (or 7.1 if applicable) through their enterprise subscription.

Camunda Cockpit Known Issues

We started to upgrade some of the frontend frameworks we use in Cockpit. This includes the upgrade from Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3 as well as the switch from Angular UI to Angular Bootstrap.
