Servoy 8.0.0 alpha
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:37 pm
We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 8.0.0 public alpha release (releaseNumber 3011)
This version is available through the download at the Servoy website.
This release brings a new client type called NGClient, which is based on HTML5 and webcomponent specifications.
For more details see: New in 8.0
As this is a first public alpha, the product is not feature complete yet.
The main goals of this release are:
-show webcomponents usage in NGClient
-show the new form editor capable working with webcomponents
-acquire feedback on webcomponent development
-acquire feedback on extended form validation mechanism
Progress made since ServoyWorld demo's:
-stabilized the webcomponent specification format (in order to limit future changes)
-completed the foundset interface which is usable from webcomponents
-improved the form editor to be mostly complete in absolute layout form design
-improved NGClient performance
-get to a reasonable backward compatibility with existing solution like the servoy_sample_crm
-made scrollable tableview/listview/portal default behaviour
What to expect in next alpha’s:
-responsive design capabilities in form editor (responsive design is currently only possible via solutionModel)
-better backwards compatibility for existing solutions (not every existing solution might run just yet)
-improved NGClient performance (utilizing one-time binding mechanisms)
-bug fixes
Known problems:
-field formatting is not working yet when component is in a tableview/listview/portal
-having a date field in a tableview/listview/portal makes it slow
-date fields in find mode does not work UI wise
-resize of a tableview form does not work correctly
-war export is broken for ngclient type solutions
Note:
-It is possible to revert to the old form editor for smart/webclient solutions in the developer preferences
