<p>As GWT now requires Java 5, support for Java 1.4 is discontinued also in IT Mill
Toolkit.</p>
<h2>Debug Mode Enabled by Default</h2>
<p>The debug mode is now enabled by default, to allow debugging layout and other problems
more easily. The debug mode:</p>
<ul>
<li>Displays debug data to the server console/log.</li>
<li>Allows showing the client-side logging window, which you can enable by adding the
request parameter "<tt>?debug=true</tt>" to the application URI.</li>
<li>Adds an "Analyze layouting" -button to the debug window: when pressed, it will show
red markers in potentially problematic layouts and show layout hint texts in the
browser-window and in <tt>System.out</tt>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You should disable the debug mode when releasing your application for production
use. You can do this by including the following setting in your <tt>web.xml</tt>.</p>
<pre class="wiki"> &lt;context-param&gt;
&lt;param-name&gt;productionMode&lt;/param-name&gt;
&lt;param-value&gt;true&lt;/param-value&gt;

<p>Layouts are now more strict than before and some components may even be invisible if
you use relative sizes in a wrong way. You should always have the following parameter in
your <tt>web.xml</tt> file during development:</p>
you use relative sizes in a wrong way.</p>

<p>This will make Toolkit run some sanity checks for relatively sized components and print
informative error messages to the server console. Invalid components are painted without
their relative size and colored red.</p>
<p>From version 5.3 this parameter is also needed to show the client-side logging window,
which you can enable by adding the request parameter "<tt>?debug=true</tt>" to application
URI.</p>
