VisionX 5.9 is out

What a great day!

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.9. It's a really cool version.
The exact version number is 5.9.570.

The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application. We recommend react UI but we still have our good old vaadin UI on board. Our vaadin UI is still a good decision and we also continue development. No worries. As we told you in VisionX 5.8 release notes, all new cool features will be available for react UI only. In latest react UI we also bundled our latest design mode feature.

We recommend the update to 5.9 of all previous versions because it's backwards compatible and you get lots of new features and all bugfixes which were reported of all VisionX users. If we release AddOn updates, we target the new VisionX version and it's not guaranteed that old VisionX versions will get the updates.

If you plan using mobile apps, also update to 5.9 because we'll release an update of our VisionX app in the next days. This app requires VisionX 5.9 or later.

An important difference to VisionX 5.8 is that you need a valid license to use our new reactUI. If you already own a license for HTML5 applications, everything is fine and if you have problems, simply send an E-Mail to our product support. Before 5.9 it was possible to use the experimental versions of reactUI without HTML5 license. Same license restriction applies to mobile applications.

What's new?

The main focus was on bugfixes, react UI and mobile.

  • Setting favicon for reactUI (fixed)
  • Popup menus with custom actions (fixed)
  • Full-text filter with only one column (fixed)
  • Storage editor default selection of current table (enhancement)
  • Support database updates (EDB, Oracle, Postgresql) (enhancement)
  • Java up to 19+ support (enhancement)
  • reactUI production ready (enhancement)
  • VisionX app ready (enhancement)

The next version of VisionX will be a feature release with focus on usability.

As usual, VisionX 5.9.570 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!

Our mobile flutter UI is just awesome. Just sayin'

It will fix some smaller bugs and will provide you with a killer feature. It will be possible to use multiple application configurations. Simply switch your JVx based applications.

The application overview will look like this:

What else?

We have support for haptic feedback and slider button. We improved screen loading and will show a skeleton with loading animation. We have support for flat/text buttons an image viewer and full-screen multiline text editor. The image viewer is automatically available for all your image editors. Simply tap on an image. If you have small multiline editors in your screen, simply double tap to get a full-screen editor.

You want more?

We have edit support for simple tables (single cells or the whole record), we have sort on header and also table reload support. The application API was updated and is now much easier to use. Our example application demonstrates many use-cases but a full API documentation is not available at the moment. This is on our todo-list!

The flutter client for JVx applications is Apache 2.0 licensed and the source code is available here.

VisionX EA 5.9.172 is available

VisionX 5.9.172 EarlyAccess version is available for all our customers.

The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes. Especially react UI and flutter UI got some updates. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.9.172.

The mobile Browser previewer app is now built with Flutter 3.7.3, the latest release. We're working on some great improvements.

In this EA version, it's possible to embedd a reactUI in an iframe with a link to a different host. It was possible to use iframes but only for the same host. Now it's possible to embedd e.g. an application which is deployed in VisionX cloud without any problems, in your homepage.

The only thing you have to do is, to add:

<init-param>
  <param-name>useInternSession</param-name>
  <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

to the web.xml of your application, in the section of MobileServlet.

Our mobile apps, version 2.3.0, are already available in Google' PlayStore and iOS' App store.

An EA version is not intended for production use, but is perfect for development.

Have fun!

VisionX EA 5.9.121 is available

An EA version is not intended for production use, but is perfect for development.

Have fun!

VisionX 5.8.224 is out

We're happy to announce that VisionX 5.8.224 is out. It's a small bugfix release.

We found some problems with react UI and our mobile integration. Known bugs were fixed and we recommend an update!

As usual, VisionX 5.8.224 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!

Delivery service demo application

We're happy to announce that a new demo application is available. It's more or less a delivery service.

The demo application is not a real delivery service application! It demonstrates how to create and integrate a custom UI based on our reactUI. It's a demo application for software developers.

The full source code and documentation is available here.

Delivery service (custom UI)

custom UI (delivery service)

Simply install the application via VisionX' Marketplace and open the "next generation" live preview.
The application already contains the custom UI.

VisionX is the only tool which offers such flexible customization of applications with state-of-the-art technology. Same customization is available for native mobile (flutter) apps.

JVx' Multi-factor-authentication documentation

The multi-factor-authentication support in JVx is not a brand-new feature but it was undocumented. If you're interested in MFA, simply read the documentation.

If you're also interested in custom REST services, read following article.

The JVx documentation doesn't explain every single feature of JVx, but it's better than you think!

VisionX 5.8 is out

What a great day!

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.8. It's a big update with bombastic features.
The exact version number is 5.8.180.

The version comes with the latest release build of our brand new react user interface and a brand new (native) mobile application. Our react UI is an additional UI and can be used as modern alternative to our good old vaadin UI, which is still part of VisionX. We'll continue our vaadin UI and keep it as long as possible, but cool features will be available for react UI. Our react UI looks modern and is easy to style with CSS. In VisionX, the live preview contains a new design mode. The design mode makes it possible to style the application live in the browser. It's an awesome feature, simply try it out!

The design mode is an experimental feature of VisionX 5.8.
We also build our react UI daily, automatically as pre-releases. This makes it easy for you, to update react UI in your VisionX or to build your custom react UI. As long as react UI is compatible with your VisionX version, you get the latest features without new VisionX release.

But not only the react UI is brand new, also our (native) mobile client is brand new. It's still based on flutter but got a complete redesign. The new app is super fast, and supports all layout features of VisionX. To be honest, it's awesome. And we have the same update strategy for the mobile app. As long as it is compatible with your VisionX installation, it can be updated independent of VisionX. VisionX 5.8 also contains a live preview for the mobile app, directly in your web browser. You won't need a real device for the preview, but it looks like the app on your mobile device! This is so cool.

What's new?

The version got some updates for the screen designer and we improved user experience. It also contains a lot of bug fixes. The main focus was on new react UI and new mobile application.

Some visual changes

  • Hidden menu group
    Simply move a work-screen to the hidden group and it will be invisible. There are also two new move buttons in the menu management. It's now possible to move a screen directly into another group.

VisionX 5.7 is out

We're so happy to announce VisionX 5.7.11. We worked hard to finish everything in-time and we did it!

It's a big update with many new features and a first face-lift. A detailed blog post will follow in the next days.

Here are some highlights:

  • Filter master/detail with detail fields

    It's now possible to search in a detail table and show all master records which contain found records.

  • EDB support

    If you want to use specific EDB features and not only standard PostgreSql DB, it's now possible.

  • Function/Procedure support for PostreSql DB

    Simply call a db function or procedure directly.

  • Hide screens

    The menu configuration now shows a special group for hidden screens. Simply move a screen to this group to hide a screen.

  • Next generation UI

    The next generation web UI is ready to use.

  • Additional doc and video buttons

    The window title got two new buttons...

  • Themes for standard web UI

    It's now possible to use different styles for the standard web UI, in the configuration screen.

  • Solution Store is now our Marketplace
  • Updated AddOns: Cloud, Profiles, Workflow, REST
  • ... many bugs fixed

Because of important updates of Cloud AddOn, old VisionX installations with old Cloud AddOn won't work without update to VisionX 5.7.11 and new Cloud AddOn. So, if you use Cloud AddOn, update to VisionX 5.7.11.

As usual, VisionX 5.7.11 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
