-<p>Vaadin @version@ is an update release for Vaadin 6. In addition to various fixes, it

-contains a number of significant enhancements.</p>

-<h3>Enhancements</h3>

-<ul>

- <li>Implemented server-side logging using <tt>java.util.logging</tt>, allowing you to specify log levels and get

- rid of unnecessary messages. See <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5715">#5715</a> for more info.

- </li>

- <li>GWT has been updated to version 2.1.1</li>

- <li>Widget set builder has been optimized to only look for paintables in Vaadin add-on jars (containing an add-on manifest).

- If you are packaging your own widgets into a JAR file, ensure they also contain the

- <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/wiki/VaadinAddon">Vaadin add-on manifest</a>.</li>

- <li><b>TwinColSelect</b> supports separate captions for the right and left selects (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/2942">#2942</a>)</li>

- <li><b>TextField</b> supports sending of <b>TextChangeEvent</b>s as the user types. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/2387">#2387</a>)</li>

- <li>Localization of <b>LoginForm</b>. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5226">#5226</a>)</li>

- <li>Tooltip support for <b>MenuBar</b> items. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5919">#5919</a>)</li>

- <li>All component containers support <tt>getComponentCount()</tt>.</li>

- <li>Sub windows now support focus and blur events. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5039">#5039</a>)</li>

- <li>Sub windows now support server side re-ordering. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5037">#5037</a>)</li>

- <li>Fixed a possible cross site scripting (XSS) attack. (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/6200">#6200</a>))</li>

- <li>BeanItemContainer has been refactored and a more flexible BeanContainer has been added.</li>

-</ul>

- <li>The <tt>setColumnCollapsed()</tt> method in <b>Table</b> throws <b>IllegalStateException</b> instead of <b>IllegalAccessException</b> if collapsing is not allowed.</li>

- <li>The <tt>removeWindow(Window)</tt> method in <b>Window</b> now triggers window close listeners also when called explicitly.

- See <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/3865">#3865</a> for more info.

- </li>

- <li><b>RichTextArea</b> no longer extends <b>TextField</b> as it cannot implement (and never has) a large part of the <b>TextField</b> API.</li>

- <li>The client side window implementation has changed because of <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5039">#5039</a> and therefore TestBench scripts may not be 100% compatible.

- Replaces locators like "<tt>VWindow[0]/ScrollPanel[0]...</tt>" with "<tt>VWindow[0]/FocusableScrollPanel[0]...</tt>". An example regular

- expression for replacement: Search "<tt>VWindow\[(\d)\]/ScrollPanel\[0\]</tt>" and replace with "<tt>VWindow[$1]/FocusableScrollPanel[0]</tt>".</li>

- <li><tt>AbstractStringValidator</tt> and now converts non-String values using <tt>toString()</tt> prior to validation (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5785">#5785</a>).

- This also affects most built-in validators such as <b>IntegerValidator</b>.</li>

- <li>TestBench scripts recorded in portals with earlier versions of Vaadin will need to be updated to work with @version@ a "v-" has been prefixed to the ID of the DIV element where the Vaadin application is placed (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5912">#5912</a>). The test scripts can be fixed by prepending the "v-" to the id (e.g. <tt>vaadin=VaadinLiferayThemePortlet_WAR_demo_LAYOUT_10418</tt> should be changed to <tt>vaadin=v-VaadinLiferayThemePortlet_WAR_demo_LAYOUT_10418</tt>) or alternatively re-recording the test.</li>

-</ul>

-<h3>Other Changes</h3>

-

-<p>The following backwards compatible class/method changes have been made:</p>

-

-<ul>

- <li><b>SplitPanel</b> has been deprecated in favor of <b>VerticalSplitPanel</b> and <b>HorizontalSplitPanel</b>.</li>

-<h3>Theme changes</h3>

-

-<p>The following changes have to be made to themes created for earlier versions of Vaadin in order for them to work correctly with Vaadin @version@:</p>

-

-<ul>

- <li>Due to the fixes for tickets <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5066">#5066</a> and <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/2681">#2681</a>,

- the <b>Table</b> component has a slightly changed DOM structure in it's header.</li>

- <ul>

- <li>The sort indicator (arrow icon) has been moved from being the background of the "caption container" DIV, to it's very own DIV. This DIV

- can be styled by the <tt>.v-table-sort-indicator</tt> selector. Sort indicator images can thus no longer be placed in the

- <tt>.v-table-caption-container</tt> DIV.</li>

- </ul>

- <li><b>TwinColSelect</b> DOM structure has changed slightly to support captions for the left and right column.</li>

- <li><b>TwinColSelect</b> now supports <tt>.v-select-twincol-caption-left</tt> and <tt>.v-select-twincol-caption-right</tt> for the left and right captions.</li>

-<p>New themeing possibilities:</p>

-<ul>

- <li><b>Table</b></li>

- <ul>

- <li>All cells in a sorted column now get the <tt>.v-table-cell-content-sorted</tt> CSS class, allowing styling of the sorted items.</li>

- <li>The alignment of the column captions can now be changed in CSS by styling the <tt>.v-table-caption-container-align-[left|center|right]</tt>

- CSS classes. This makes it possible to align all captions left, for instance.</li>

- </ul>

-</ul>
