History

In May 2010, Tom Baeyens and Joram Barrez changed, the two main developers of jBPM, the workflow engine from JBoss, Alfresco and started the implementation of Activiti. They brought with them their experience with jBPM, Activiti but put on a new code base without using jBPM source code for it.

The first version of Activiti was 5.0 thus the developers wanted to draw attention to their experience with jBPM from version 1.0 to 4.0.

End of 2012, leaving Tom Baeyens Alfresco and switched to Camunda who have published with Camunda Activiti BPM a Fork.
