Ouch looks like we and anybody on 5.1.1 needs to desperately update then.
Though I am rather concerned by this issue 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3211  "Rules fires on incorrect 
condition" - has this been looked at/is the issue correct as a rules engine 
which fires random rules when it shouldn't would be problematic!

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Help! Activations firing out of salience order

There used to be a subtle bug in the PriorityHeapQueue containing the 
activations.

See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3044

In our project we have been experiencing a large number of intermittent unit 
test failures when we are testing our rules (on drools 5.1.1).
After a lot of debugging, examining our rules for logic errors, experimenting 
and generally scratching our head trying to work out what is wrong, we have 
noticed that sometimes (but very intermittently) activations are firing in the 
wrong order.

In our rulebase we have two rules, Rule A salience 80 and Rule B salience 70. 
Whilst debugging we made Rule A and B are identical other than rule B having 
some additional constraints on the end.
Dumping out the agenda events we have observed the following actions occurring:
BEFORE_FIRED rule X
CREATED_ACTIVATION Rule A
CREATED_ACTIVATION Rule B
AFTER_FIRED rule X

... (no references to either rule/activation)

BEFORE_FIRED Rule B
CANCELLED Rule A
AFTER_FIRED Rule B

How can Rule B be firing before Rule A when both activations exist?
Does anybody know of any bugs in 5.1.1 that may be causing this?
We have a branch of code on 5.3 and that also has had intermittent unit test 
failures, we've not had chance to examine whether this is the same pattern or 
just a different logic issue.

Please help,

Thomas
