Udash v0.9.0-test Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-11-25 // over 3 years ago

Previous changes from v0.8.0

  • πŸš€ We - the Udash team @AVSystem - are proud to announce the availability of Udash 0.8.0. πŸŽ‰ It’s been a long and productive year since 0.7.0 release with over 1100 commits and a ton of features and improvements to the framework.

    πŸš€ Udash 0.8 is not binary backwards compatible with 0.7, although from our experience in internal product upgrades, the update should not pose any issues undetected by the Scala compiler. Please note that 0.8.x is the last release series with Scala 2.11 support, as we’ll be moving to support 2.13 in 0.9.x. We always aim to support at least 2 latest stable Scala major versions, so 2.12 will still be supported (at least until 2.14.0 is widely available).

    You might’ve noticed that we’re a team now as opposed to a single maintainer, which is both good and bad news, since in this case it doesn’t only mean more resources, but also that the previous maintainer, @Starzu, went on to follow other projects (involving Udash from what we heard!). We want to thank Mateusz for his work and we’re very happy to have him as an active member of the @UdashFramework organization and community. In case you need a point of contact about anything regarding Udash, I(@ddworak) had stepped up to the role of the main maintainer now.

    πŸš€ We want Udash to enable developers to build frontend applications mostly based on their existing Scala experience. The framework has been a great success for our full-stack teams and has been extensively deployed to production since its first inception 4 years ago. We’re now focused on polishing existing features of the framework to allow easier entry for Scala developers of all levels. Please feel free to submit issues, PRs or hit us up on our Gitter channel - any help or feedback is highly appreciated.

    Key changes

    • Udash artifacts are now simpler - the JVM and JS dependencies are no longer distinguished by name, so you can just include e.g. "io.udash" %%% "udash-core" % β€œ0.8.0” in your shared project, no more -backend, -shared and -frontend.
    • 0️⃣ udash-rest was completely revamped. It is now an independent module, has more complete support on both front- and back-end and generates shiny OpenAPI specs. The default backend is based on sttp with alternative Jetty implementation in rest-jetty. Make sure to check it out on https://guide.udash.io/rest#overview.
    • πŸ›  Properties & bindings received a lot of love with better support for collections, less magic/macros, covariance, better callback handling and a ton of bugfixes.
    • πŸ›  udash-bootstrap4 module wrapping Bootstrap 4 components was added with FontAwesome 5.10.1. Bootstrap 3 goes EOL and will be only bugfixed across 0.8.x minor releases to eventually disappear in 0.9.0.
    • ⚑️ As always, all of our dependencies are updated, from now on with the help of Scala Steward.
    • All of our demos in Udash Guide are up-to-date and open source, with code snippets generated via macros. Now you can be twice as sure it works in your code as well :)
    • βœ… We’re now successfully testing against OpenJDK11 and Graal.
