Version 8.7 beta

Post by aware_support »

The beta version is now available for testing. If you want to participate in testing please send us an email. This is the list of changes:

New Features:
1. Rules Debugger (https://youtu.be/rxfG4oBVuKk)
2. Performance Profiler (https://youtu.be/mRAQwvJmIFs)
3. Ability to save documents and pictures in Amazon S3

Improvements
- Improvements in the interaction with the preview: (https://youtu.be/ptE85dSZ1fg)
- when a column of a grid is selected (attribute or operation column)
- when a button representing a panel operation is selected (any type of query or form)
- when a toolbar is clicked
- when a panel header is clicked
- when filter row in a grid and mobile queries is clicked
- when paging bar in a grid is clicked
- when custom query is clicked
- when action menu on mobile queries is clicked
- It is possible to reorder query columns graphically in the preview window
- Ability to create a simple CRUD query with NEW/Edit/Delete buttons, auto-refresh setup and a more modern style
- Visual perspectives now support categories
- It is now possible to specify width and height for preview on phones and tablets
- New header style (MODERN) for forns and queries
- New default layout in forms
- Ability to change all columns of a form (label position and widths) - new menu item in Form Designer
- Performance improvements
- CREATE BUCKET action in rules
- For documents and pictures stored externally (File System or Amazon S3) the path of the document can be specified as an expression, not necessarily an attribute
- "IN FORMS" key for protection rules. If used indicates that the rule is only relevant for protection in forms. This can improve performance of queries on objects that have protection rules

Bugs:
1. Dropping a Kanban column into an empty column didn't work in IE
2. About menu item didn't work in the left menu
3. XML import didn't handle attribute nodes with blank value properly
4. "Last modified date" was not set on a rule
5. Initialisation of DateRange attributes in DateRangePicker of a visual perspective was wrong
6. Calling REST service protected by OAuth using POST may not have worked

Of course, it is way too late in the process to ask, but I will. Any upgrades to FontAwesome?

you would think all you need to do is modify startup.html and point to the updated files if you want to use a more current version.

Not the case, there is a hard coded reference to the Fontawesome Free font in the css. If you only use the free version you can just change the startup.html if you use the pro version you need to change the css

Rules Debugger, Performance Profiler, and interaction with Preview are huge improvements!

S3 storage is referred to as buckets (as in it is unstructured and just a bucket of data). I assume it is that.

"Bucket" is a concept of Amazon S3 storage. CREATE BUCKET is meant to work in tandem with documents stored in Amazon S3
