Servoy 8.0.0 beta 3

[jcompagner]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 8.0.0 public beta 3 release (releaseNumber 3018)

This version is available through the download at the Servoy website.
Or update your existing Servoy 8 install by checking for updates in your developer.
Note: under windows you could get an error when updating this way because it can't rename or delete the servoy.exe, this is an eclipse bug.
To fix this just before you do the actual (check) for update rename the servoy.exe to servoy_bck.exe.

Servoy 8 brings a new client type called NGClient, which is based on HTML5 and webcomponent specifications.
For more details see: New in 8.0

This release brings a lot of backwards compatibility improvements and performance enhancements

For people that have already created there own components must look at: Specification and then the Data synchronization section.
Because by default nothing is pushed anymore to the server, you have to specify which properties (including dataproviders) should be pushed (are allowed to be pushed) to the server and in what way.

This is all also explained a bit more in detail on the Performance page.

Also check the pages: NGClient deployment and WAR Deployment because NGClient is a WAR only deployment and needs to have specific support for application servers.
