Incompatibilities

• The method IlvGraphic.copy() used to return null for all link subclasses (IlvLinkImage and its subclasses). This is no longer the case. For all predefined subclasses, it returns now a copy of the link.
• The method IlvManager.read(...) now returns a Boolean value which indicates whether it is binary or IVL data. In the previous releases, the method was returning void.
• The method IlvGraphic.isInApplyToObject() is now final.
• JavaScript library incompatibilities:
• IlvMenuItem.prototype.setPreferredIconSize method was removed. We are now able to compute the icon size in all supported browsers, so this method is useless.
• ilvDispose global method has been replaced by the static method IlvObject.callDispose
• fixDate global method has been removed as it was needed only to workaround a bug in an old Web browser.
• ilvImagePath global variable has been scoped in IlvConstants.ilvImagePath
• IlvDHTMUtil.writeJSBodyEventHandler method has been removed.
• Capabilities requests on IlvManagerServlet now take "json" not "html" as format. Additional capabilities must now be stream as JSON not JavaScript.
• IlvSelectionSupport.getCapabilities now returns a Map.
• IlvSelectionResponse.getUpdatedCapablities now returns a Map.
• ilog.views.faces.dhtml.renderkit.IlvDHTMLRenderer.emitResolvedDependencies has now 2 arguments.

General Changes

• JViews Framework JSF library has been improved to reduce the loading time of DHTML libraries.
• JViews Framework JSF JavaScript selection API has been improved to better integrate with Ajax frameworks.
• JViews Framework JSF components better support session management.
• JViews Framework JSF views zoom constraints have been improved.
• Each IlvGraphic class can now implement via getIntersectionWithOutline the way links are clipped against the border of the node when the IlvClippingLinkConnector is used.
• Eclipse/RCP support: Eclipse/RCP applications have to deal with classloaders. Every Eclipse plugin has its own classloader, and the access to classes and resources is restricted to those defined by the plugin or its dependencies. JViews applications may need to use resources coming from different, unrelated plugins. You can register the classloaders of these plugins in the new class IlvClassLoaderUtil, to ensure JViews will find them, despite the fact they are not all reachable from a single classloader.
• The support for integrating JViews components into SWT applications has been improved via a new set of utilities (ilog.views.util.swt).
• Applet support: All resource bundles of JViews are now loaded through the IlvResourceUtil class. This class allows you to configure applets so that they no longer try to load unsuccessfully over the net resources for locale bundles that do not exist. This speeds up the startup time of applets that run in browsers with a different locale than the locales provided by the applet.
• Hover highlighting of graphic objects is now supported. When the mouse moves over a graphic object and hover highlighting is enabled, the graphic object changes its appearance (for instance, the colors are brightened, darkened, or inverted).
• Various new events simplify the handling of graphic objects and nested managers:
  • The ManagerContentAboutToChangeEvent is fired before a change happens on a graphic object.
  • The GraphicBagHierarchyEvent is fired when the hierarchy of nested managers changes (that is, if an ancestor of the graphic object changed got removed or inserted at a graphic bag).
  • The ManagerViewsChangedEvent are propagated to graphic objects that implement the ManagerViewsHierarchyEventReceiver interface, so that these objects get notified whenever a view displaying the object is added or removed.
  • An event dispatcher mechanism was added that allows graphic objects to receive events more efficiently when they get selected.
• Spline interactor handles can now be placed optionally on the spline or at the spline control points. This affects all spline classes (IlvSpline, IlvSplineLinkImage and so on).
• The Triple Buffering technique has been improved. A lazy updating mechanism has been implemented. The triple buffer is now more efficient when small changes occurred on graphic objects.
• IlvManagerView can now cache manager layers. This technique can dramatically improve rendering performance especially when layers have static graphic objects.
• IlvText supports now outlined texts.
• The performance of CSS styling has been improved:
  • Matching of the selectors has become more efficient when the style sheet has selectors with many different CSS types or with many different IDs.
  • Execution of the declarations has become more efficient when the same declarations apply to many different objects.
  • Expressions in CSS declarations now take less time to evaluate.
  • Constants as CSS declaration now take less time to evaluate.
