Servoy 2024.9 release candidate 1

[jcompagner]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 2024.9 release candidate 1 (release number 4000)

See whats new for the global changes and the case list

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 21.0.4)
So for the platform specific archives you don't need to install or have java on your system.

This release is build on Eclipse 2024.06 (4.32)

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 2024.03.3_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:

Code: Select all

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.

I tried the RC, since I wanted to check if some problems with the tokenizer control is fixed since it's similar to my problems with typeaheads / comboboxes (it is, very good), but I had problems with a fresh install on a aple silicon mac, I couldn't pick a workspace at all.
I got this message after choosing the workspace folder:

CleanShot 2024-09-12 at 11.26.48.png (54.45 KiB) Viewed 385 times

The messages in .metadata/.log have been overwritten, i can recreate them if you need them.

I installed a fresh 2024.6 and updated it to rc1, that did work.

Is this something known, or do you need a ticket for that?

[jcompagner]

we can't reproduce that here.
a fresh install works fine, but it could be related to the workspace you are trying to open, i guess we need the .log file to see what really goes wrong here
