Release notes

New

• Javascript
  • postUpload event that can be used to perform actions when a file upload (upload or uploadMany) is complete.

Fixes

• Javascript
  • datetime did not respect minutesIncrement and secondsIncrement if hoursAvailable was specified.
  • If an Editor instance was configured with a template and it is destroyed, it should re-insert the template back into the document.
  • If immediately focusing on a field which uses a popup inside a modal, the position of that popup (e.g. the date / time picker) would be misaligned relative to the modal. Note that this issue is still present with Bootstrap 4.
• PHP
  • Connection string format for SQL Server on windows (sqlsrv driver) was wrong if a port was specified
  • SQL error when inserting into two tables with a single submission
• NodeJS
  • Sqlite doesn't support right joins so use an inner join for Mjoin
  • The demo package will now attempt to make a database query on start up (checking what tables are in the db) to allow an error message to immediately be shown on the console, rather than when a page is loaded. It is not an essential check and can safely be removed once your db configuration is working. This is purely to make the first run experience easier.
  • The Node demo package was including the Editor 1.7.4 Node packages rather than Editor 1.8
  • SQL error when inserting into multiple tables with a single submission
  • Demo package now listens on all interfaces, rather than just localhost (handy for VM development)
  • Present npm showing warnings about demo package not having a repo by marking it as private
• .NET
  • Oracle with compound keys would report an error
  • sqlite driver doesn't return DateTime objects since Sqlite doesn't have a date format (its just strings), so make a best effort attempt to convert ISO8601 into a datetime.
  • Sqlite wasn't returning the added row id when inserting a new row
  • Updating second table in a single submit would result in an SQL error
  • Build dlls for .NET Framework 4.6 and 4.7
• Styling
  • Bootstrap 3 and 4 - the new field processing indicator would be misaligned.
  • Bootstrap 4 integration - help text should be small by default
  • Bootstrap 4 integration - radio button labels had no spacing
  • Bootstrap 4 styling integration for the upload field type used incorrect classes for the "Choose file" and "Clear" buttons
  • Zurb Foundation - Auto focus in the Foundation modal wasn't working
• Documentation
  • Clarify that either a return value or the callback should be used to complete a dependent() method call
