- <h2>Release Notes for IT Mill Toolkit Version @version@</h2>
-
- <p>Version 5.3.0 is the first stable release of IT Mill Toolkit 5,
- meaning that there are no known major problems and the API will be kept
- backward compatible.</p>
-
- <h2>Package for the experimental GWT Out-of-Process Hosted Mode</h2>
-
- <p>We provide a separate (platform independent) installation package
- (<tt>itmill-toolkit-oophm-<version></version>.tar.gz</tt>) for the
- experimental Out of Process Hosted Mode (OOPHM) of GWT, which allows
- debugging client-side code in GWT Hosted Mode with a regular web
- browser. Using the OOPHM requires installing a browser plugin (available
- for Mozilla Firefox, IE, and WebKit). See the manual section on OOPHM
- for more details.</p>
-
- <p>The Linux version of GWT Hosted Mode Browser is no longer
- compatible with IT Mill Toolkit 5.3.0 (<a
- href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2299">#2299</a>), so the OOPHM is
- the only option for debugging in hosted mode in Linux.</p>
-
- <p>The compilation of OOPHM widget sets uses a large amount of stack memory, so if the
- JVM default is too small, you should set it explicitly in <tt>compile-widgetset.xml</tt>
- with the following parameter for the Java process (currently included in the example build
- script): <tt><jvmarg value="-Xss1024k"/></tt>.</p>
-
- <p>As the OOPHM package is experimental, you should use it only for
- debugging purposes during development. For production use, you should
- compile your custom widget sets with the regular IT Mill Toolkit package
- for your platform.</p>
-
- <h2>Important known problems in @version@</h2>
-
- <ul>
- <li><a href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/1155">#1155</a>
- Uncompressing the installation package fails in Windows if using the
- default Zip uncompression. Uncompression gives (in Windows Vista) an
- error message about too long filenames, and a more obscure message in
- other versions of Windows. Workaround: use <a
- href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a> or some other good unzip
- program for Windows.</li>
-
- <li><a href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2299">#2299</a> The
- Hosted Mode Browser does not work in Linux for debugging client-side
- GWT code. You need to install the experimental OOPHM package instead
- (see above) for development. For production, you should use the regular
- package for Linux.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>For other known problems, see open tickets at developer site <a
- href="http://dev.itmill.com/">dev.itmill.com</a>.</p>
-
- <h2>Requirements</h2>
-
- <p>IT Mill Toolkit is available for the following operating systems:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Windows (see the Zip installation notice above)</li>
-
- <li>Linux</li>
-
- <li>Mac OS X Tiger (mac) or Leopard (leopard)</li>
-
- <li>Other UNIX operating systems, such as Sun Solaris, using the installation package
- for Linux.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>IT Mill Toolkit supports Java Servlet API 2.3 and later versions and should work with
- any Java application server that conforms to the standard. It supports the following
- application servers:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Apache Tomcat, version 4.1 or later</li>
- <li>BEA WebLogic® Server, version 9.2 or later</li>
- <li>IBM WebSphere® Application Server, version 6.1 or later</li>
- <li>JBoss Application Server, version 3.2.8 or later</li>
- <li>Jetty, version 5 or later</li>
- <li>Glassfish, version 2 or later</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>IT Mill Toolkit supports the following browsers for using the applications made with
- it:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Mozilla Firefox releases 2, and 3 (see notice above about
- Gecko 1.7).</li>
- <li>Internet Explorer releases 6, 7, and 8<sup>†</sup>.</li>
- <li>Safari 3</li>
- <li>Opera 9.6<sup>‡</sup></li>
- </ul>
-
- <p style="font-size: 80%;">† Internet Explorer 8 RC1 may not be usable because of a
- serious bug in the RC1. <a href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2578">#2578</a><br/>
-
- ‡ The current support for Opera has some limitations, such as the front page of
- the Sampler demo. <a href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2652">#2652</a></p>
-
- <p>The support for browsers follows the support by GWT. The browsers are supported on both
- Windows and Mac, if available. Firefox is supported also on Linux (Opera 10a1 works also
- on Linux though also suffers from <a
- href="http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2652">#2652</a>). There may be differences between the
- exact versions of the supported browsers that may cause incompatibility with applications
- made with IT Mill Toolkit.</p>
-
- <p>The following browsers are not supported but have been found to
- work to a large degree:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Safari 2, and 4 beta</li>
- <li>Firefox 1.5</li>
- <li>Google Chrome 1.0.x (available only for Windows)</li>
- <li>iPhone (firmware 2.2)</li>
- <li>Midori (0.1.2)</li>
- <li>Epiphany (2.22.3), Galeon, and other Gecko-based browsers (see the notice
- regarding Gecko 1.7 above). Also WebKit-based Epiphany (2.22.3) works.</li>
- <li>Konqueror 4.2 (3.5.x does not work)</li>
- <li>Nokia Internet Tablet N800 and N810 (ITOS 2008, Opera-based browser).</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>The reported versions are those that have been tested, though other versions may work
- as well.</p>
-
- <p>Nokia E-series phones, such as E90, have been known to work with older versions, but
- not with IT Mill Toolkit 5.2 and later. Links, Lynx, and other text-based browsers do not
- work.</p>
