Changes

17 October, 2005 :: ivata masks 1.0-alpha1 Released

This release adds new features and makes the library generally easier to extend.

There is now improved debug logging throughout the library, using log4j. Maven compatibility has been upgraded to version 1.1 (will no longer work with lower version numbers). There is new field handing for password and long timestamp fields. Support has been added for a client session scope. Filter and listener interfaces on the query persistence interface now make it easier to implement flexible user rights system.

Changes

08 October, 2005 :: ivata masks 0.6.2 Released

Changes

01 May, 2004 :: ivata masks 0.6.1 Released

Changes

Changes

10 March, 2005 :: ivata masks 0.5 Released

Following days of furious activity since the last release, this will be the last release of ivata masks before ivata groupware 0.10 goes live.

This latest version includes the CSS generation servlet, formerly part of ivata op. The configuration file format has been tidied up a lot, and made more consistent. All the id fields have been replaced by name fields, and the mask extends syntax is tidier. The input masks/lists have been decoupled, to let you go somewhere other than the list after input/display of a value object.

As ever, all these changes have been applied to the demo program.

Changes

10 January, 2005 :: ivata masks 0.4 Released

Lots of exciting things in this release. It:

  • fixes a number of bugs, especially in the demo
  • adds classes and tag libraries moved over from ivata op: extensions to Struts HTML tags, theme library, format tags, and util classes
  • extends the documentation (esp. JavaDoc) and enforces both it and coding style using Checkstyle

Changes

26 December, 2004 :: ivata masks 0.3 Released
