Servoy 8.0.0 beta 1
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2015 10:11 am
We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 8.0.0 public beta release (releaseNumber 3016)
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 has the first cut of the responsive design editor including palette items supporting this
In the 12grid category we have the bootstrap 12 grid system
First you need to create a form in relative layout (new form wizard)
then you can place a container div on that, and in a container div you can place rows (and columns again in row)
We also added a basic set of bootstrap components that work better in a relative/responsive layout.
Our default component won't fully work correctly in such a layout because they are build for absolute positioning.
The new NGClient has many (speed)improvements over the alpha version also the backwards compartible with existing solution should be greatly improved.
Do checkout this page for converting the current style css to a solution css (now stored in media)
Known problems:
Tableview form or portals in relative layout are not fully supported.
Note:
-It is possible to revert to the old form editor for smart/webclient solutions in the developer preferences
