<h3 id="incompatible">Incompatible or Behavior-altering Changes in @version-minor@</h3>
<ul>
- <li>Window.setCloseShortcut() is now deprecated. ESCAPE is no longer a hard-coded default, but rather a soft one, and
- can be removed. If the close-shortcut attribute of the v-windowelement is present, it must list all close
- shortcuts, including ESCAPE, separated by whitespace. Existing, unchanged code should behave as before.
- See ticket <a href="https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/17383">#17383</a> for more information on the reasoning
- behind the change.</li>
- <li>Grid SelectionModels are now Extensions. This update removes all selection related variables and API from
- GridConnector, GridState, GridServerRpc and GridClientRpc</li>
- <li>StringToEnumConverter now explicitly supports Enum types with custom toString() implementations.
- This may affect applications that relied on the undefined behavior in previous versions.</li>
- <li>The Section enumeration from client-side of the Grid has been moved to GridConstants</li>
- <li>The order in which AttachEvents are fired has been changed. When attaching a component with child components,
- events are now fired first for the children and last for the root component. The order is thus the same as
- the order in which custom code in overridden Component.attach methods would be executed. Please refer to
- ticket <a href="https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/16348">#16348</a> for more information on this change.</li>
- <li>Jsoup library version 1.8.3 is incompatible with the version 1.8.1 used in early 7.6 alphas and 7.5. This might
- cause problems with external libraries compiled against said versions.</li>
- <li>Declarative format is now using "vaadin-" as a default prefix instead of the "v-" prefix used in 7.5.
- This default can be changed in deployment configuration.</li>
- <li>The annotations @PreserveOnRefresh, @Push, @Theme, @Title, @VaadinServletConfiguration and @Widgetset now use
- @Inherited. The annotation is also looked up in extended interfaces for backwards compatibility.</li>
- <li>Server-side timings of request processing are only sent to the client when not in production mode. Using the
- timings in TestBench tests requires the server not to be in production mode.</li>
- <li>System properties now override application parameters for settings such as production mode.</li>
+ <li>Vaadin artifacts no longer bring a transitive dependency to javax.servlet:servlet-api.</li>
+ <li>System properties now override application parameters for settings such as production mode (see above).</li>
</ul>
