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:

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.

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.

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.

JVx 2.8.5 is out and we have some Source Code statistics for you!

Our last statistics were determined for JVx 2.2. The source code grew by 50.012 lines, since 2.2. We now have 178.896 (JVx library, Swing UI, tests) compared to 128.884 in JVx 2.2. Still awesome if we compare the features of JVx with any other application framework!

Here are the actual numbers for you:

Some additional numbers:

Files and Tests

JVx library source files   825 Swing UI source files   148 Test source files   151 Total   1124

Still a small codebase and still very easy to maintain. Here are more numbers, about testing:

Unit tests (no UI, without manual perf. tests)   1000 Class coverage (without UI)   73% Method coverage (without UI)   62%

Our coverage is not as good as with 2.2 but still not bad.

TOP 10 classes

This are interesting numbers because in JVx 2.2, MemDataBook was on 1st place. We now have more code for database support than before. The newcomers are SimpleJavaSource and PostgreSQLDBAccess.

We tried to reduce complexity of DBAccess and MemDataBook, but complex things are complex. This is why we develop JVx. It makes complex things, simple.

We're happy to announce that JVx 2.8.5 is available. It's a bigger bugfix release and comes with many powerful new features.

What's new?

• Loading MetaData performance tuning
• REST

  It's now possible to register custom admin services and to disable general admin services. We also introduced a public zone.

• E-Mail support

  Simply send an email with pre-configured server settings.

• Dynamic cell editors

  Set the dynamic cell editor on one cell and use different cell editors in the same cell, based on a type configuration.

• Simple Map implementation

  OpenStreetMap and Google

• Accessible/Not Accessible per environment
• putObject support for DataRow
• Better logging API configuration
• Many more...

The full changelog is available here.
