CUBA Studio Changelog

Version 1.3.1

1. web.xml should contain webResourcesTs context parameter for projects based on platform 5.3+. If you have created such project before this update, add the following code to your modules/web/web/WEB-INF/web.xml file:

       <web-app ...
           <context-param>
               <description>Web resources version for correct caching in browser</description>
               <param-name>webResourcesTs</param-name>
               <param-value>${webResourcesTs}</param-value>
           </context-param>
   

2. Service designer now reacts properly on file changes from outside Studio and allows to use arbitrary bean class name.
3. Fixed bugs in the Entity designer Unique constraints tab.

Version 1.3.0

• Common
  1. Platform 5.3 release support.
     Automatic migration of existing projects is provided, the following will be done by the migration procedure:
     • Remove reports-web:web@zip dependency from build.gradle if reports base project is used
     • Optionally change the platform XSD version to 5.3 in all XML files.
  2. Screen and entity message packs can now be edited directly in Studio.
  3. Better support for multiple artifact repositories: Studio now remembers the repository URL and credentials and allows to switch between them. Currently selected repository URL value is copied to build.gradle when project is opened.
  4. Project namespace is now stored in metadata.xml file and is not requested every time on project import.
  5. Project copyright text and Java class comments can be defined by pressing Java headers button in the Project properties editor. See context help for details.
  6. Alt-/ shortcut invokes the search dialog which provides quick navigation to all project items and Gradle tasks execution.
  7. Links from context help to documentation go to pages in the language selected in Studio server window.
• Entity designer
  1. UUID, Long, Integer and String primary keys support.
  2. Ability to map entities to existing tables. If table name has no NS_ prefix (where NS is the project namespace) Studio does not generate create/update scripts for the table, but allows to use it for an entity.
  3. Full support for transient entities: see Entity type list in New entity window.
  4. Support for transient attributes in persistent entities: see Transient checkbox in Create attribute window.
  5. Reworked Instance name editor allows to create name patterns with the same attribute used multiple times.
  6. New Unique constraints editor allows to define complex unique indexes.
  7. View definitions used only in particular module (e.g. web) can be stored in views.xml file of this module.
• Screen designer
  1. Standard autogenerated editor wraps FieldGroup in ScrollBox if number of fields exceeds 10.
  2. Editors for Filter component elements: properties, property, custom.
  3. Improved GridLayout support.
  4. Layout editor always shows dotted lines surrounding containers and their slots.
• Over 150 other bug fixes, enhancements and usability improvements.
