Dear process automationeers,

as our current project closes in on production state, `robotframework-camunda` experiences a new feature: with version [0.9.0](https://gitlab.com/postadress/robotframework/robotframework-camunda/-/releases/v0.9.0) it is now possible to start a process before or after any activity of a process in Camunda.

Upgrade with  
`pip install robotframework-camunda==0.9.0`

Example:

```python
***Settings***
Library CamundyLibrary.ProcessDefinition ${CAMUNDA_HOST}
Library Collections

***Variables***
${PROCESS_KEY} apply for job promotion

***Tasks***
Start process in the middle
    ${priviliged_colleague} Employee with good connections to his boss
    ${cv} CV
    start process ${PROCESS_KEY} variables=${priviliged_colleague} files=${cv} after_activity_id= 'Activity_ask_boss_for_persmission'

***Keywords***
Employee with good connections to his boss
    ${employee} Create Dictionary employee=John Doe persmision_for_application_granted=${True}
    [Return] ${employee}

CV
    ${files} Create Dictionary cv=documents/my_life.md

```
