We are happy to announce the Camunda Desktop Modeler 5.10 release.
This release includes new features in forms such as FEEL templating for text components and flexible layouts. It also introduces a visual grid for diagrams. As usual, the new Modeler extends support for Camunda 8, this time adding the ability to model signal start events, catch-all error events, and define due and follow-up date properties for user tasks. Camunda 7 BPMN support was extended by adding validation for processes.
