I don’t see this ticket number in the release notes so I guess it never made it into this version even thought the ticket’s Fix version/s does state ‘Servoy 6.1.1, Sprint 21’.
However, we are facing big problems with this update:
Type-ahead valuelist contains ’ ’ entry instead of an empty value (see screenshot)
Type-ahead list do not show up correctly in IE8. Sometimes it shows up, but mostly not. A script error is reported when it does not show up.
When a field contains a format (mask), the field looks like it gets stretched over the entire form. After focussing the field, the form looks normal. This is in IE8 only.
(See screenshot)
A huge bug. When scrolling tableviews are enabled and a popup-form containing a related tab-panel is opened for the second time, the foundset in the related
tabpanel looks empty. When a record is added, the other records are shown.
We will file an issue for 1,2 and 4. We’ve not been able to reproduce issue 3, but still it happens on all fields having a format in our solution.

plugins.serialize.toJSON /fromJSON no longer handles correctly empty arrays (array with no elements).
For example:
var test = [];
var jsonStr = plugins.serialize.toJSON(test);
var result = plugins.serialize.fromJSON(jsonStr);
//the result will no longer be an array - when inspected it appears as an array with 1 element, however its length property is 0 and its type is not an array
application.output(result);

if i test that in 6.1.1 then the output is what i expect it to be
it says true for the instanceof and it just concats the 2 values to that empty array and prints that.

The attached file shows the odd behavior. Notice how the deserialized empty array shows up as if having 1 element. If you try to pass such array for example to application.setValueListItems method, you get the error:
I don’t know the use case for using the serializer plugin anymore now that the Rhino engine has been updated. Maybe for handling java objects? Dunno the answer. But it is well known that it is a bit buggy and doesn’t parse elegantly by default browser JSON implementations.
So for straight up JSON, we now use:
[attachment=0]Screen shot 2012-08-28 at 1.48.15 PM.png[/attachment]
the serializer is also used for other things like rest and column serializer…
But we have currently a issue that should make the serializer plugin way better with just plain javascript objects… So if you have pure js objects JSON or the plugin should give the same results.
