Why latest() can only be used in combination with key?

Why Calling latest() can only be used in combination with key(String) and keyLike(String)?

You can also call "latest()" without any other criteria, gives you ALL latest process-definitions. If not, it uses grouping by key, and gets the latest for that process-definition key. All other criteria (name) don't identify a process-definition group uniquely and could cause returning of several process-definitins, which defeats the purpose of the "latest" concept.

<if test="latest">
     and PD.VERSION_ = (select max(VERSION_) from ACT_RE_PROCDEF where KEY_ = PD.KEY_)
</if>

Okay, so the part of calling latest() with NO other criteria actually doesn't work, can you create a jira-issue for this?

That said,invok ProcessDefinitionQuery.latestVersion().processDefinitionNameLike("xxx")
it's real working fine?
