In the 7.1.0-M7 release you will find the following main fixes & features:
**Error handling for cloud connectors: **see the section Error handling for Cloud Connectors more details.
Possibility do explicitly define the variable type while starting a process via REST API. The variables should be provided in the format key/value where key is going to be the variable name and value can be either directly the actual value (in which case Activiti will try to guess the type) or a complex object having two fields: value with the string representation of the value and type explicitly defining the type. The example below uses a mix of these two options:
"variables":{
      "dateValue":{
         "type":"date",
         "value":"1970-01-01T01:01:01.001Z"
      },
      "date": "1970-01-01T01:01:01.001Z",
      "stringValue":{
         "type":"string",
         "value":"name"
      },
      "string":"name",
      "bigDecimalValue":{
         "type":"BigDecimal",
         "value":"10.00"
      },
      "intValue":{
         "type":"integer",
         "value":"10"
      },
      "int":10
      "booleanValue":{
         "type":"boolean",
         "value":"true"
      },
      "boolean":true,
      "doubleValue":{
         "type":"double",
         "value":"10.00"
      }
      "double":10.0
   }
Improve information provided by PROCESS_CANCELLED_EVENT
Fix support of ${initiator} expression.
Provide candidates info when fetching a task by ID.
Update to Spring Boot 2.1.13.RELEASE.
Known issues / Changes from previous milestones
jaxb-api dependency at the engine level: the dependency to jaxb-api was added directly at the engine level, so this extra dependency doesn't need to be declared along side with activiti-cloud-starter-runtime-bundle, as in the previous milestones.
Maven artifacts refactoring: the number of different groupIds produced by Activiti and Activiti Cloud has been reduced to only two (org.activiti and org.activiti.cloud). This is a breaking change compared with previous milestones: org.activiti.cloud.<suffix> will become org.activiti.cloud and org.activiti.<suffix> will become org.activiti.
Fix semantic versioning: use - character instead of .: 7.1.0-M7 and not 7.1.0.M7.
Milestone artifacts are no longer published to Maven Central: so far, milestone artifacts are going to be published to Alfresco Nexus.

Java 8 support has been dropped
**Git repositories restructuring: **carrying on the work started in the previous milestone, several git repositories were merged together and so far Activiti projects use only five main repositories:
​Activiti: holds Activiti Core related code.
​activiti-cloud: holds Activiti Cloud related code.
​activiti-cloud-application: holds Activiti Cloud BoM file (org.activiti.cloud:activiti-cloud-dependencies) and example Spring Boot applications used to generate example Docker images.
​activiti-modeling-app: holds Activiti Modeling Application related code.
​activiti-cloud-full-chart: holds Helm Charts for Activiti Cloud.
