This release isn't just an update. It's a massive refresh: nearly every library has been upgraded (some because of patched vulnerabilities), and new features unlocked. Even though VisionX apps weren't at risk, we wanted you to have the latest, safest, and most feature-packed version possible.

Bottom line: VisionX 6.5 is stronger, faster, and fresher than ever.

Thank you Martin and René for your tireless work!

It comes with better database independency, Java code parsing and execution, Image metadata (mobile devices), improved Parameter handling and much more. The full list of changes is available in our ticketing system and in the changelog of our code repository.

Start with JVx

The new version is full with updates. It doesn't contain many new features but many new possibilities because of Java 21, JavaFX 23, latest reactUI, flutter UI and an updated Previewer app.

Before starting with VisionX 6, PLEASE read our update guide and also additional information about our Previewer app update.

What's new?

• Disable translation

  It's possible to disable the translation temporary while you design your application, because sometimes it's not good to show translated labels/names immediate. The VisionX button in your application now contains a checkbox. This doesn't change your application, only temporary in VisionX.

• Improved layout drag/drop

  We changed dragging and dropping elements for our layouts a little bit, to show gaps. This is not a big thing, but it just looks right now.

• Java 21
• JVx application framework 3.0
• Apache Tomcat 11 support
• Postgres database 14
• ARM64 support (Apple silicon (M1), linux, windows)
• Version update for all AddOns and Modules

As usual, VisionX 6.0.351 is available in the download area for our customers or as trial.

Have fun!

The new version is fully backwards compatible and contains many improvements. It also fixes some reported problems and brings new features. This version is the last version of series 5 and we didn't change bigger blocks. The 5.11.615 should be a great final version of VisionX 5. We already started development of VisionX 6 and it will bring some bigger changes because we'll update to Java 21. We also will update our embedded postgresql database. We'll update to our latest react based UI and also to latest mobile app. We have some great features in the pipeline for all of you.

... back to VisionX 5.11.615

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10.851

The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application.

We recommend the update because it's backwards compatible and you get all bugfixes which were reported by all VisionX users.

What's new?

The main focus was on bugfixes but we alwo have two new features:

• Configure a home screen for your application
  The home screen is always shown if no other screen is open.
• Export a Docker definition for the application without database container

As usual, VisionX 5.10.851 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!

The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes, especially our react UI and flutter UI. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.11.50.

The mobile Browser previewer is now built with Flutter 3.19.2.

With EA version it's now possible to create a docker container definition file only for the application server. Usually both containers were created as docker compose definition file. The EA version also tries to solve the problem with different database ports for the embedded database. It should just work without limitations.

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

Have fun!

It's a small feature release for dark mode support.

A full changelog is available here and information about the 3.0.3, 3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0.0

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10. It's a really powerful version.
The exact version number is 5.10.511.

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 5.9 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 5.10 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 5.10 because we'll release an update of our VisionX app in the next days. This app requires VisionX 5.10 or later.

What's new?

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

• New calendar component
• Using application specific web content folder
• Native mobile app production ready (enhancement)
• reactUI production ready (enhancement)
• VisionX app ready (enhancement)

As usual, VisionX 5.10.511 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
