Release Notes

v5.7.5 on the GitHub

New Features

  • Revert changes in Webstudio

    New dialog shows history of all edits for the module between check-ins to repository. It’s possible to see differences between edits and revert all or part changes. All previous states of modified project are recorded for all edits including deletion, copying, new table version creation.

  • Attributes access methods

    New more Excel-like syntax to access attributes of classes is added. All attributes can be accessed as methods called on class instance, e.g. “Age(driver)” instead of “driver.age”.

  • Rules and methods applied to arrays

    All single-parameter methods can be applied to array of elements of input parameter class and will return array of results.

  • Web services: Wrong sequence of repository update events causes wrong services update

Migration

  • Be aware all arithmetic operations for NumberValue types (DoubleValue, etc.) are consistent with usual types starting from this version. All ‘null’ values will cause errors. In previous releases they were treated as 0. Change your rules if you relayed on this behavior.

Known Issues

  • .xlsx colors: Don’t use colors from the two first columns of the color theme in Excel. Due to errors in poi library, these colors may cause UI issues and their processing is temporally disabled in OpenL where possible
  • .xls colors: If old .xls files contain new theme colors of Excel 2007, they will be replaced with old indexed colors on the first save in Webstudio.
  • .java for Datatypes: Due to priority of classes from classpath for Datatypes, first delete already generated .java and compiled .class files before running generation of .java for Datatypes. Otherwise the old classes for Datatypes will remain (the content of regenerated .javafiles will remain the same to previuos).
