We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Servoy 5.2.2
This version is available through the download page on the Servoy website (developer section) and auto update.
Always make a backup of your current Servoy installation (directory and database) before installing/upgrading.
To update a Servoy 5.x eclipse open, “Check for updates” via help menu.
Client changes:
[fix] 309478 Formatting a field via texttoolbar not always works
[fix] 317740 controller.getFormContext return empty array in onshow of form in webclient
[fix] 317958 onDataChange not triggering on return or enter keystroke (Mac)

WebClient changes:
[fix] 317119 combobox with valuelist attached can contain empty value. Selecting this the webclient breaks
[fix] 317602 Giving focus to field in webclient calls onFocusGained but also onFocusLost. (in Google Chrome)
[fix] 317771 In client design mode in webclient, all elements can be selected, even if the onSelect method returns false.

[fix] 316900 Performance on 5.2.1 is slow for table lists that required pagination
[fix] 320694 background color difference between smart and webclient when having non transparent form on colored tabpanel
Note: For case 320694 fix, it might be necessary to make a form transparent before a tabpanel background color shown (as form background) in webclient. This is expected behaviour and smartclient already behaved like this.

Jan Blok:
[fix] 314684 Performance difference between 4.1.7 and 5.1.4 due to anchoring
Could you explain this entry please?
we just draw the table (if in tableview) a bit to much, because we thought there was a width change which was not the case.
So it was slower because the browser got the same table twice in a row.

Why not? What can we do instead? Email them?
That was the problem, which we addressed
I see. I misread… I thought you guys took this option away. My machine in production is still 5.1.2. That’s why I didn’t notice the problem. Thanks for fixing it
When we upgraded to 5.2.1, everything went fine. Attempted to upgrade to 5.2.2 and received the folloiwng error message:
An error occurred during the org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.CheckTrust phase.
session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.CheckTrust, operand=, action=).
One or more certificates rejected. Cannot proceed with installation.
Sometimes it required to check our certificate as oke during the upgrade, you must have declined/skipped this question.
Rerun the check-for-update will prompt the question again.
We don’t fully understand why that happens, our certificate is valid and sometimes when eclipse pushes a minor update it complains about eclipse.org certificate with the same message.
Although I cannot say for certain, I do not believe the question dialog popped up the first time I ran the installer. It did come up (unchecked) on a subsequent try located behind the progress bar dialog, and when checked, installed 5.2.2 without any other problems. Thanks for the quick response!
jcarlos:
Does this release come with PostgreSQL 9? If not, when are you planning to update?
No, This is a maintenance release, with just fixes. If we would have bundled a new version of the database engine, we would have put that into the release notes and it would have meant you would have to do clean installs.
These sort of changes are usually only done when we up the main version number (in currently that would be Servoy 6), but we currently have no plans to do this.
I simply wanted to say that I’m impressed on how quickly you solved “[fix] 318431 Parent should not be deleted over relation.” This was key feature for us. Thanks for the fast response.
Hi,
this might be a silly question, but I was wondering if you were about to release any updates in the next couple of weeks to 5.2.2, e.g. 5.2.3, as I have some clients testing on ‘test servers’ my solution under 5.2.2 and as well as testing my solution, they are also testing that things work correctly with 5.2.2 (they are on 5.1.x), and if you are about to release an update, I’d like to wait until that can be updated to and tested.
Thanks
As mentioned before on the forum, normally minor releases are produced in a 4-6 weeks timeframe.
So far it looks it might be at least 6 weeks this time.

so does that mean you think there might be one around the middle of November?
It’s just that I don’t want to have my clients approve a release of Servoy (5.2.2) that I then go live with within days of a new release (5.2.3) coming out that will then have to be tested against, as we will then always be ‘behind the curve’ and I’m sure you can appreciate that these clients are relying on Servoy to run their businesses, so we can’t just ‘update’ to the latest release (much as I’d love to) without it going through testing, so I’d like to be able to catch up with the latest release of Servoy ASAP…
Thanks
