Release notes

Javascript

• Allow for null and empty values when using wireFormat for datetime
• Compatibility with jQuery 3.5
• i18n.close option added to set a title attribute on the modal close button
• Errors in upload were throwing an exception rather than an error
• Long error messages in lightbox modal could corrupt the display visuals. Solution is to move the error message into the body section of the form.
• Styling error in Firefox when inline editing is used with Responsive
• trigger uploadXhrError after the error message has been set for an upload field, allowing the message to be customised if needed.
• Updated default year select in datetime to be +/- 25 years
• Trigger a change event directly from the datetime component - allows easier use in standalone mode
• Styling: Bootstrap 3 - when form was large enough to show a scrollbar for the document, clicking on it would dismiss the modal
• Docs: Suggest that datetime's minDate and maxDate be initialised with ISO8601 strings.
• Example: Inline editing with Responsive would throw a JS error when clicking on the control columns. But would still operate correctly. No JS error now

.NET

New

• SearchPanes 1.1 with server-side processing support
• ValidatedCreate and ValidatedEdit events which are triggered after validation but before writing into the database

• Allow MJoin set access to have the same granularity as Field - i.e. allow for create and / or edit (or none)
• validatedCreate and validatedEdit events
• whereClear() method which can be used to clear out where conditions for an instance, allowing a degree of reuse

Fixes

• Better error reporting in transactions
• Improved numeric validator
• minNum validator would disallow empty string values, even if they were explicitly allow via the validation options.
• Postgres transactions weren't working correctly
• Setting empty: false for validation options wouldn't work.

• Unable to delete from table when using an aliased table and the primary key is used in aliased form
• URL validator only worked with https addresses
