Open Laszlo 4.0.3 released
OpenLaszlo 4.0.3 was released to the web today. This is a minor release resolving more than 70 issues reported against OpenLaszlo 4.0.2. Download it here or play with it here (flash runtime) or here here (dhtml runtime).
Full details, including a list of fixed bugs, are available in the Release Notes.
Many of the issues addressed in this release were reported by the OpenLaszlo community, and some of the fixes were contributed by the community. Thanks to everyone who took the time to try out OL4 in SWF or DHTML and report your experiences to the mailing list or forum, and a particularly warm thanks to those of you who filed bugs. This release also has several known bugs in IE7/DHTML, which were discovered just as we were calling the release:
- Views clip their contents when opacity changed in IE7 DHTML This an issue with the IE7 renderer. The workaround is to not set the width/height of the container that has alpha (so the view system can resize it to its contents) or set the width/height to be bigger than its contents. See the JIRA bug comments for an example of this workaround, and this msdn article.
- LPP-4242 Controls go to disabled state when outer view opacity set in IE7 DHTML
- LPP-4244 Mouse handling busted in IE7 DHTML
We have fixes in hand for these bugs, which you can get in the legals nightly builds starting at r5785.
Note that while quality continues to improve, we do not recommend 4.0.3 for use in production environments yet, in part due to the known issues listed above. Release 4.1 is the planned milestone at which we will recommend upgrading production deployments from 3.x.
