<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>&lt;jvmarg value="-Xss1024k"/&gt;</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&reg; Server, version 9.2 or later</li>
    <li>IBM WebSphere&reg; 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>&#8224;</sup>.</li>
	<li>Safari 3</li>
	<li>Opera 9.6<sup>&#8225;</sup></li>
</ul>

<p style="font-size: 80%;">&#8224; 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/>

&#8225; 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>
