- </p>
-
- <h2 id="enhancements">Enhancements in Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
-
- <p>Vaadin @version-minor@ includes many major and minor
- enhancements. Below is a list of the most notable changes:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>New configurable client-server automatic reconnect handling and warning dialogs</li>
- <li>Grid columns can be resized by the user</li>
- <li>Grid non-modal editor mode and unbuffered datasource binding</li>
- <li>More fluent Grid scrolling for touch devices</li>
- <li>Better customizability of Grid (data generators for communication, customizable selection models etc.)</li>
- <li>Configurable keyboard, touch and mouse navigation support for Grid editor</li>
- <li>Declarative HTML serialization enhancements for Vaadin Designer 1.0</li>
- <li>Better handling of closing a window with keyboard shortcuts</li>
- <li>Column collapsing events for Table</li>
- <li>Most Components fire a ContextClickEvent when the user tries to open a context menu.
- This event is specialised to contain some extra context for Grid, Table, TreeTable and Tree,
- and used by the <a href="https://vaadin.com/addon/vaadin-contextmenu">ContextMenu add-on</a>.</li>
- <li>New push transport mode WEBSOCKET_XHR (WebSockets from server to client, XHR from client to
- server) which allows setting of cookies, using request scopes with CDI/Spring etc.</li>
- <li>Navigator is more extensible and can be used with dependency injection</li>
- <li>It is possible to customize the push URL using PushConfiguration.setPushUrl().
- This enables implementing some push related add-ons such as push on portals.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- For enhancements introduced in Vaadin 7.5, see the <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/download/release/7.5/7.5.0/release-notes.html">Release
- Notes for Vaadin 7.5.0</a>.
- </p>
-
- <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>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="knownissues">Known Issues and Limitations</h3>
- <ul>
- <li>Vaadin TouchKit versions prior to 4.1.0 do not work with 7.6. Please use version 4.1.0 or above.</li>
- <li>Context click events are not generated on iOS devices
- (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/19367">#19367</a>)</li>
- <li>Drag'n'drop in a Table doesn't work on touch devices running
- Internet Explorer (Windows Phone, Surface)
- (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/13737">#13737</a>)
- </li>
- <li><p>It is currently not possible to specify <tt>font-size</tt>
- as <tt>em</tt> or <tt>%</tt>, or layout component sizes
- with <tt>em</tt> (<a
- href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/10634">#10634</a>).</p><p>This
- does not apply to Valo, but using em sizes to size layouts is discouraged,
- because it results in fractional component sizes in many cases, which
- might cause unwanted 1px gaps between components.</p>
- </li>
- <li>Up-to-date information about configuration needed for push and compatibility issues are available in
- <a href="https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Configuring+push+for+your+environment">this wiki page.</a>
- <br />
- The most prominent limitations are:
- <ul>
- <li>Push is currently not supported in portals (See <a
- href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/11493">#11493</a>)
- </li>
- <li>>Transport mode WEBSOCKET does not support invalidating the session on Tomcat 7,
- nor setting cookies for the session. The new transport mode WEBSOCKET_XHR can be
- used to bypass these limitations.
- <br />
- See tickets <a href="https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/11808">#11808</a> and
- <a href="https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/11721">#11721</a>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>Google App Engine has some limitations. Please consult Vaadin Wiki:
- <a href="https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Vaadin+support+for+Google+App+Engine">Vaadin support for Google App Engine</a>
- </li>
- <li>Grid does not support adding components to cells. Instead light-weight Renderers can be
- used to present and edit data.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h2 id="vaadin">Vaadin Installation</h2>
-
- <p>
- <b>Vaadin</b> is a Java framework for building modern web
- applications that look great, perform well and make you and
- your users happy. <b>Vaadin</b> is available under the
- Apache License, Version 2.0 (see the
- <tt>license.html</tt>
- in the Vaadin ZIP or JAR package).
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The easiest ways to install <b>Vaadin</b> are:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Maven dependency.</strong>If using Maven, define it as a dependency or use
- any of the available archetypes to create a new project. More information at
- <a href="https://vaadin.com/maven">https://vaadin.com/maven</a>
- </li>
-
- <li><strong>IDE Plugins.</strong>If using Eclipse, use the
- <a href="http://vaadin.com/eclipse">Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse</a>, which automatically
- downloads the Vaadin libraries. For NetBeans 8.0 and 7.4, use the
- <a href="http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/50531/vaadin-plug-in-for-netbeans">official Vaadin plugin</a>
- that provides Maven based wizards and code completion support for Vaadin development.
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- Vaadin Framework is also available as a ZIP package downloadable from <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/download">Vaadin Download
- page</a>.
- </p>
-
- <h3 id="package">Package Contents</h3>
-
- <p>Inside the ZIP installation package you will find:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Separate server-side (<tt>vaadin-server</tt>) and
- client-side (<tt>vaadin-client</tt>, <tt>vaadin-client-compiler</tt>)
- development libraries
- </li>
- <li>Precompiled widget set (<tt>vaadin-client-compiled</tt>)
- for server-side development
- </li>
- <li>Shared library (<tt>vaadin-shared</tt>) for both
- server- and client-side libraries
- </li>
- <li>Built-in themes (<tt>vaadin-themes</tt>)
- </li>
- <li>Dependency libraries provided under the <tt>lib/</tt>
- folder
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- See the
- <tt>README.TXT</tt>
- in the installation package for detailed information about
- the package contents. <a href="http://vaadin.com/book">Book
- of Vaadin</a> (for Vaadin 7) gives more detailed
- instructions.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- For server-side development, copy the
- <tt>vaadin-server</tt>
- ,
- <tt>vaadin-client-compiled</tt>
- ,
- <tt>vaadin-shared</tt>
- , and
- <tt>vaadin-themes</tt>
- from the main folder and the dependencies from the
- <tt>lib</tt>
- folder to the
- <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt>
- folder of your Vaadin project. (The
- <tt>vaadin-client-compiled</tt>
- is necessary if you do not wish to compile the widget set by
- your own, which you need to do if you use almost any add-on
- components.)
- </p>
-
- <h4 id="package.updates">Updates to the Packaging</h4>
- <p>
- Since Vaadin 7.2.0, the old vaadin-theme-compiler has been moved into
- a separate project and renamed to vaadin-sass-compiler. It is now included
- along with the other 3rd party dependencies in the ZIP package.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- For pure client-side development, you only need the
- <tt>vaadin-client</tt>
- and
- <tt>vaadin-client-compiler</tt>
- JARs, which should be put to a non-deployed project library
- folder, such as
- <tt>lib</tt>
- . You also need them if you compile the widget set for any
- reason, such as using Vaadin add-ons, or create new
- server-side components integrated with client-side widgets.
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="migrating">Migrating from Vaadin 6</h2>
-
- <p>
- All Vaadin 6 applications need some changes when migrating
- to Vaadin 7. The most obvious changes are in the
- application/window API and require extending either <b>UI</b>
- or <b>UI.LegacyApplication</b> instead of <b>Application</b>.
- A detailed list of migration changes are given in the <a
- href="https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Migrating+from+Vaadin+6+to+Vaadin+7">Vaadin
- 7 Migration Guide</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>Any custom client-side widgets need to be ported to use
- the new client-server communication API, or the Vaadin 6
- compatibility API.</p>
-
- <p>
- Vaadin 6 add-ons (ones that contain widgets) do not work in
- Vaadin 7 - please check the add-ons in <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/directory/">Vaadin Directory</a>
- for Vaadin 7 support.
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="dependencies">Vaadin @version@ Dependencies</h2>
-
- <p>When using Maven, Ivy, Gradle, or other dependency
- management system, all Vaadin dependencies are downloaded
- automatically. This is also the case when using the Vaadin
- Plugin for Eclipse.</p>
-
- <p>
- The Vaadin ZIP installation package includes the
- dependencies in the
- <tt>lib</tt>
- subfolder. These need to be copied to the
- <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt>
- folder of the web application that uses Vaadin.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The dependencies are listed in the <a href="license.html">Licensing
- description</a>. Some are explicit dependencies packaged and
- distributed as separate JARs, while some are included inside
- other libraries.
- </p>
-
- <h3>Bean Validation</h3>
-
- <p>
- If you use the bean validation feature in Vaadin 7, you need
- a Bean Validation API implementation. You need to install
- the implementation JAR in the
- <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt>
- directory of the web application that uses validation.
- </p>
-
- <h2 id="upgrading">Upgrading to Vaadin @version-minor@</h2>
-
- <p>When upgrading from an earlier Vaadin version, you must:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Recompile your classes using the new Vaadin
- version. Binary compatibility is only guaranteed for
- maintenance releases of Vaadin.</li>
-
- <li>Unless using the precompiled widget set, recompile
- your widget set using the new Vaadin version.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Remember also to refresh the project in your IDE to
- ensure that the new version of everything is in use.</p>
-
- <p>
- By using the "
- <tt>?debug</tt>
- " URL parameter, you can verify that the version of the
- servlet, the theme, and the widget set all match.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>Eclipse</b> users should always check if there is a new
- version of the Eclipse Plug-in available. The Eclipse
- Plug-in can be used to update the Vaadin version in the
- project (Project properties &raquo; Vaadin).
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>Maven</b> users should update the Vaadin dependency
- version in the
- <tt>pom.xml</tt>
- unless it is defined as
- <tt>LATEST</tt>
- . You must also ensure that the GWT dependency uses the
- correct version and recompile your project and your widget
- set.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>Liferay and other portal</b> users must install the
- Vaadin libraries in
- <t>ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/</b> in the portal (and remove a
- possibly obsolete older <tt>vaadin.jar</tt>). Additionally,
- the contents of the <tt>vaadin-client-compiled</tt> and <tt>vaadin-themes</tt>
- must be extracted to the <tt>ROOT/html/VAADIN</tt> directory
- in the Liferay installation. If your portal uses custom
- widgets, you can use <a
- href="http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/liferay-control-panel-plugin-for-vaadin:vaadin">
- Liferay Control Panel for Vaadin</a> for easy widget set compilation.</t>
- </p>
