Release Notes for Smart GWT 3.1

New Features

General

Numerous improvements to documentation (reference docs and Quick Start Guide), and examples.
Major skinning enhancements. Three standard skins (Enterprise, EnterpriseBlue and Graphite) have been reworked to take advantage of CSS3 features in browsers where this is supported (typically requires HTML5 doctype), to reduce the amount of media required to render attractive UI components, while retaining support for image loading based approaches for browsers where these capabilities are not available
New Balsamiq Importer tool for importing Balsamiq mockups using the Visual Builder (requires SmartGWT Pro or better).
New "Workflow" subsystem implemented (See Process class)
Numerous fixes and enhancements to drawing
Various improvements to the AutoTest class (used for Selenium integration)
Extended documentation on Selenium integration with SmartGWT in the user-guide
Revised and expanded the i18n documentation
Add JUnit + Selenium RC java example to SmartClient/SGWT documentation.
Reworked processing of JSON format responses to avoid a native Memory Leak introduced by IE9 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2572253. This includes adding support for strict JSON formatted responses, and making use of these by default in IE9 for iscServer-format dataSources.

Component-specific features

Various enhancements and features around ListGrid ExpansionModes, particularly wrt finer grained support for customizing the ExpansionMode.EDITOR component
Support for row-spanning cells and per-cell selection in ListGrid
Support for nested header spans in ListGrid
ListGrid: Support for auto-sizing header spans
Added a new interface for specifying multiple levels of grouping, launchable from a listGrid
New calendar-based Timeline component
Numerous improvements to Charting subsystem and FacetChart class
New FormItems for editing criteria - PresetCriteriaItem and PresetDateRangeItem
New property FileItem/UploadItem.multiple, which allows automatic uploading of multiple files
Many fixes and improvements to the FilterBuilder component
CubeGrid: Added support for hideEmptyFacetValues + load on demand. Previously all data was required up from to use hideEmptyFacetValues, now we support single-axis load on demand in combination with hideEmptyFacetValues
DateChooser - reworked to be a grid-based component with some additional functionality
Support for FiscalCalendar added (and integrated with DateChooser) and support for working with fiscal year, week and start-date data at DateItem, DateChooser, Date instance and Date static levels

DataBinding and data management features

Extensive Support for server side scripting directly in DataSource files
Support for composite primary keys in DataSources (client-side and in the server-side SQL, JPA and Hibernate DataSource)
Support for simpleType.getAtomicValue() / updateAtomicValue() and related methods for mapping complex javaScript object to simple atomic object types within an application, allowing standard application features such as sort, filter etc to work with complex data.
Improved and extended support for componentField.dataPath for extracting field-level data from nested data objects
New DataSourceField "encodeInResponse" flag for delivering binary data as a Base64 encoded string
Much improved documentation and support around Date / Time / Datetime type fields
Enhanced support for data export in PDF, Excel, CSV formats
Built in support for progressive loading of SQL and Hibernate-dataSource backed components. In this mode users can request more rows by scrolling off the bottom of the currently visible rows, but cannot cause direct movement to some arbitrary position in the dataset (as is the case with ordinary, non-progressive loading).
Added support for Informix as an officially supported database with SQLDataSource

New API listGrid.getDefaultFormattedValue() to simplify conditional overriding of cell value
Ensure listGrid field hilights show up automatically when fields' visibility changes

ListGrid - add support for RemoveRecordClick event
Fixed bug with sortChanged failing to wrap SortSpecifier params for SGWT

Fixed a bug where various DataSource field attributes (such as 'required', 'foreignKey', 'primaryKey') would be inherited on fields included from another dataSource via the includeFrom flag

Fix: if user code attempts a dataSource.fetchData() that specifies downloadResult:true, that should imply hiddenFrame, ignoreTimeout:true and showPrompt:false
Fixed issue where TreeGrid & DynamicForm share a DataSource but nulling out one of the DynamicForm fields doesn't remove that field from the TreeGrid row

Fixed a bug where a call to someDS.setOperatorTypes(typeName, []) would cause all subsequent calls to someDS.getFieldOperators(someOtherTypeName) to return no types
Added a null check in applyHilites() - when we have a ResultSet, setData() can be called before fields have been created
When building the whereClause for an inSet operator, work on a copy of the values list rather than the actual list passed in, to avoid reaching into the actual criteria object and modifying values
Add new doc'd API: DataSource/DSRequest.useStrictJSON for true strict JSON formatted responses.
Workaround IE9 memory leaks on eval() [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2572253] when evaluating dataSource responses. Implemented 2 workarounds: Firstly - added support for using native JSON.parse() to parse strict-JSON formatted responses - and turn this on by default for iscServer dataSources in IE9. Secondly - added support for using hidden IFrames to evaluate responses that don't conform to strict JSON. This can be enabled by setting RPCManager.allowIE9Leak to false, but can not be used with certain data types, including Dates.
Fixed handling of RestDataSource.jsonPrefix

DataSource - explicit support for dsRequest.outputs (may be set on the client or server)
Added doc'd property DataSourceField.mimeType that specifies the mime-type of all files stored in this field - used in preference to auto-detection by file-name and in the absence of a *_filename metadata field
DataBoundComponent - added logic to avoid calling 'field.getDataPath()' blindly in validateField() - that method isn't defined for all DBC fields so caused JS errors in grid editing
Added a 'DataSource.getCacheData()' accessor since when we auto-cache all records we don't update DataSource.cacheData
Separated JPA DataSource generation JPA1 from JPA2
Fixed an issue whereby if 'DataBoundComponent.setFieldState()' is called, and the grid includes a hidden field that isn't listed in the new state, the hidden field is shown

Release Notes for Smart GWT 3.0

Backwards compatibility notes

• Smart GWT 2.5 introduced an erroneously named event and handler pair
  • com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.CloseClientEvent and
  • com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.CloseClientHandler.
  These have been removed, in favor of the correctly named
  • com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.CloseClickEvent and
  • com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.CloseClickHandler.
• The zero-argument method DataSource.fetchData() has been removed. This method served no useful purpose and led to a lot of confusion. For application code to meaningfully react to a DataSource.fetchData() call, a DSCallback must be passed to the method.

Release Notes for Smart GWT 1.3

In this release the SmartGwt modules have been slightly refactored so that by default the compile output does not include debug sources, unused resources, developer tools etc. Some users were getting the wrong impression that the size of the compiled output was the size of their application. Most users are probably using either com.smartgwt.SmartGwt or com.smartgwt.SmartGwtNoScript and will be unaffected by this refactoring. You will only notice that the compile output is a lot smaller as it does not include the debug / readable source js files, and the developer console files. The most important change to keep in mind is that in order to use the Developer Console (ie SC.showConsole() ), you will now need to inherit the following module : <inherits name="com.smartgwt.tools.SmartGwtTools"/>

Users that happen be using com.smartgwt.SmartGwtDebug will need to inherit com.smartgwt.debug.SmartGwtDebug instead.
