Hi folks, After a *lot* of development effort, the Apache Isis committers are delighted to announce the release of v2.0.0-M3 of the framework.
This is a major milestone release that "re-platforms" Apache Isis so that it now runs on top of Spring Boot 2.x. JDK8 is the minimum. Some highlights: * A new convenience parent pom builds on top of Spring Boot’s similar parent pom, to make it easy to develop new apps, along with simplified "mavendeps" pom’s. * The Maven archetypes have been replaced with Starter Apps in github repos. * Configuration properties have been refactored, and can now be specified (with intellisense hints) using Spring’s application.properties or application.yml New features: * a new @Property#projecting allows view model summaries to be returned as "projections" of underlying entities. * new layout() method (or UI event) allows a domain object to specify which layout file should be used to render it. * there is no longer any need to specify @ParameterLayout#named() * there is now a security integration with Keycloak There are also a number of new extensions: * Flyway (integrating with Spring Boot’s support) * pdf.js (for Wicket viewer) * fullcalendar (for Wicket viewer) * excel download (for Wicket viewer) Other improvements include: * Integration test support, and BDD (Cucumber) "spec" support have been refactored to run on Spring Boot with Junit 5. * New demo app to demonstrate new features. * New smoketest app to catch regressions Finally, the website has been updated to use Antora. Full release notes are available on the Apache Isis website at [1]. You can access this release directly from the Maven central repo [2]. Alternatively, download the release and build it from source [3].
