FYI,
We plan on releasing maintenance release 1.0.1, AND 1.1 beta 1 (or some
simular name) this weekend.
We changed our mind about 1.1 a bit, and now want to make shorter
release cycles so everyone can start working with some of the new
features of 1.1:
* Native javascript/ css support (finally you can use DatePicker, and
create your own beautified components);
* Markup inheritance (Phil wrote about that two days ago:
http://jroller.com/page/pKulak/20050712)
These are the most important new features, which we think are important
enough to put in a release now.
Furthermore there have been two refactorings which unfortunately may
break some of your code:
* Form. The form handling is better seperated now, giving you better
extension options. Also, Button now has a 'direct' property which lets
you by-pass validation and updating of its nested components (you can do
that manually now though). IFormValidationStrategy is now history.
* The choice components. Customizing how choices are rendered is now
greatly simplified. We got too many questions on its uses from the list;
a clear indicator it was too complex to use. IChoice and some
corresponding methods are gone now, and IChoiceRenderer is the current
interface now.
We plan on (further) working on AJAX integration and Portal integration
next, which will probably be version 1.2, and have do decide yet what
more features we'll put in that release. Be warned, AJAX and Portal (JSR
168) integration /will/ effect our API and is likely to cause breaks
(though a lot should actually be internal, but changes could be
drastic). That's another reason for putting out 1.1 now; there's not
much damage done still ;)
Regards,
Eelco
