RAP/1.4 Release Summary
Contents
New Widgets
In this release, the RAP widget set was enhanced by a completely new Tree implementation. Also the browser widget was improved to support mash-ups using SWT's Browser functions API. Real scrollbars
New and updated API
Again, we added lots of missing API to improve single sourcing.
- Indigo (3.7) APIs
- Key Bindings
Theming improvements
RAP now comes with a contemporary theming out-of-the-box, that has rounded borders, gradients, and drop shadows (a new feature in 1.4). By using the CSS3-Support of modern browsers we could further improve the performance and add support for the Android browser.
- Support for mobile platforms
We ensured that RAP works also on the iPhone and on Android.
Tooling improvements
Client improvements
We optimized the JavaScript client to be more lightweight and compatible with other libraries such as JQuery.
