RAP 2.2 RC1 - New and Noteworthy

Row Templates improved

Several open issues with the new Row Templates have been resolved. All scale modes for image cells are now also supported in IE7/8. One new scale mode has been added (ScaleMode.STRETCH). Text cells can now also contain markup. The theming for Table and Tree has a new state rowtemplate to allow to make adjustments specific to row templates. The default theme uses this state to hide vertical grid lines when row templates are used.

Deployment issues resolved

There has long been an issue with RAP applications deployed as .war files that could not be properly stopped or undeployed and even prevented the servlet container from shutting down. These problems have been fixed. Stopping and un-deploying RAP applications works like a charm now.

Adjusted to IE11

The new Internet Explorer version 11 has just been released, and for the first time this browser does not identify itself as “MSIE” anymore, but as “Trident” (the name of the rendering engine). This totally confused our web client wihch did not recognize this browser correctly and even failed in the Eclipse embedded browser. We've adjusted it to support this new generation of IE browsers properly.
