We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 2024.12 release candidate 1 (release number 4020)
See whats new for the global changes and the case list
Do read the release notes because this section:
Possible Breaking Enhancement
When autosafe is now off (databaseManager.setAutoSave(false)) also deletes that are done in the solution are not right away deleted in the databse (as we did before). Now deleted records are also part of the autosave, just like new and changed records. This means that the user itself doesn’t see those delete records anymore but other users still do seem them until databaseMananager.saveData() is called. If your solution depends on the old behavior that deletes are always done right away (when autosave is off) you can turn this new behavior of with a servoy property: servoy.foundset.deleteWithAutosaveOff=true
is a quite important, that could have side effects if the solution doesn’t expect this.
For Windows the installer: exe
and for the MacOSX_86_64 we have an native dmg
and for the MacOSX_Aarch64 (Apple Silicon) we have an native Apple Silicon dmg
for linux it is tar.gz
For windows we also still have just the zip
An installation (coming from the normal installer or from a platform specific archive) is shipping with a Java VM (Java 21.0.5)
So for the platform specific archives you don’t need to install or have java on your system.
This release is build on Eclipse 2024.09 (4.33)
The developer can be updated by the https://download.servoy.com/developer/l … ecandidate update site URL.
This is in our “latest” release stream (03,06,09,12) if you want to stick the LTS release then disable that releasecandidate url and stick to the URLs with “lts” in the name
If you update to this release you have to do a new install of 2024.03.4_LTS to go back to an the LTS release branch
it could be that the update fails if you come from a much older release (like 2021.06 → 2022.12) that you can get errors like:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,com.servoy.eclipse.core,2022.12.0.3840_rc.
Error reading signed content:C:\Users\jcomp\AppData\Local\Temp\signatureFile11879913363204093521.jar
Or that you can’t install it completely (you can’t pass the update dialog, because it says incompatibilities found)
This is because from 2022.12 on we depend on java 17. (so the developer that you run should already be on java 17)
You can fix both issues to first jump to an older version like a 2022.03.x release, you can do this by making this URL:
https://download.servoy.com/developer/latest/3743/
first the only update site in the preferences → install/update → sites, so add that URL and make sure that is the only one.
Then it updates to that release first, then you can enable the release candidate URL again.
Coming week there will be also some releases of packages, most current packages can run fine except NGGrid that is a mandatory upgrade.
