&lt;ul class="simple"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the past, when externalizing flow snippets, the actors had to be wrapped
in an InstantiatableStandalone/Source/Transformer/Sink. This requirement was
historical (only introduced an additional layer of complexity) and has now been
removed, as well as the InstantiatableStandalone/Source/Transformer/Sink
actors. These no-longer available actors will get replaced automatically with
sensible actors (Standalones/SequenceSource/SubProcess/Sequence) in order no to
break any existing external flows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I introduced a range of new actors to the adams-meta module for loading
external actors: IncludeExternalStandalone/Source/Transformer/Sink. In contrast
to the External... actors in the adams-core module, these replace themselves
with actual external flow snippet the first time the flow gets setup. This is
the more efficient way of using external flows if there is no need for
variables attached to the flow file option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
