RAP/1.4 Release Summary

< RAP
Revision as of 07:00, 7 June 2011 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)

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.
