We are pleased to announce the availability of ODM 8.11.1 on December 16. This release is an update, fully compatible with ODM 8.11. It comes with an exciting set of new features and support for additional environments, most of them in response to your requests. ODM 8.11.1 also consolidates all fixes implemented during the second half of 2022, following the ODM 8.11.0.1 fixpack delivered back in June 2022.
Last but not least, ODM 8.11.1 is included in the newly released IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation 22.0.2.
Below are the main new features included in ODM 8.11.1:
New decision table and business rules editors
A new decision table editor is available in Business Console. While it looks similar to the previous version, it is a new and faster implementation, and comes, for instance, with new functions to move and resize rows and columns. The same decision table editor is also available in Rule Designer on macOS and Linux, for a consistent experience across tools.
A new business rule editor has also been added to Business Console. It features better search and prediction of terms, as well as line numbers.

- Improved snapshots comparison with BOM entries included
