SoapUI Version 5.1 is only for PRO? (Updated with ansers)

Hi,

I got notified today when I opened my SoapUI that the 5.1 version was released today. Since then I try ed to find a download link for the free version (open-source) of it, but I cant find any. The last version on http://sourceforge.net/projects/soapui/files/ or http://www.soapui.org/Downloads/soapui- ... uilds.html is still 5.0.0, do this means that only PRO get the bug fixing and the features listed here: http://www.soapui.org/About-SoapUI/what ... ui-51.html?

Also since I did not see to much info about the new features I have a questions that regard the new JSON support, do you integrated something like the XML XPath assertions for Json?.

Update:
Found the answers on git release notes, now we need to wait of the official release:
+### Major new features ###
+* (Pro only) New plugin manager to easily find and install/update SoapUI Pro plugins from a central repository
+* REST Mock as WAR - Easily deploy REST MockServices as WAR on any application container.
+* Native support for JSON response
+* JSONPath assertions when response is JSON
+* Easy to find Pro features and sample projects through starter page
+* Outline editor available on form view (when request has a payload)

Thanks!

    Thanks redfish4ktc2 for helping us to get an response from SmartBear!

    So according Jeshtha there will be no OpenSource release for 5.1 which is odd since the GIT repository looks to be updated to 5.1 and also the release note (https://github.com/SmartBear/soapui/com ... c20b28f2e6) point the same thing, if we look at the fact that the PRO features have the tag (Pro only) in front, then the Json assertions and the bugs fixing should be available in the open source version to. So is just that they don't want to create a package which is done automatically by a building system?...(no offense to SB, I just trying to understand the logic behind)

    Can anyone that is familiar with the code source file from SoapUI 5.0 from git check if the new features from 5.1 are really included in this repository and help us make a build?

    Thanks

    hi,
    I totally agree with you, I don't understand why they don't plan to provide binaries for the OSS app. They talk about 5.0 stability, but according to the release notes, the 5.1 version fixes a lot of bugs and not only for the pro version.
    I will contact them soon to get more precisions.

    About checking the source code and building, I could help on this, but I won't have much time to dedicate to this in the next weeks.

    hi,
    last update of the release notes fiile (https://github.com/SmartBear/soapui/com ... b3447fd5b7) for the 5.1.1 release don't show up any news on the OSS side
    Please note that version 5.1.1 is a Pro only release. This means the features and improvements below are currently available only in SoapUI Pro.
    Please note that version 5.1.0 is a Pro only release. This means the features and improvements below are currently available only in SoapUI Pro.
