BootsFaces v1.0.2 - Bugfix Release

BootsFaces v1.0.2 - Bugfix Release

The year 2017 has just begun and our Team want to start it with a nice Bugfix release!

New features:

• #602 The <b:dataTableColumn> has two new attributes: data-order and data-search. Both attributes deal with columns that are displayed differently from the internal representation. For example, think of numbers, which might be displayed as Roman numbers. Or think of dates. The American representation of dates doesn't match alphabetical sorting, so you have to tell the data table the correct sort order. data-order does just that. It allows you to define a function or a bean attribute defining the real order. Similarly, data-search allows you to find data by hidden key. For instance, you might display the data as 04/30/2000, but allow users to enter the word "April", too.

Bug fixes:

• #607 Added more flexibility for the resolution of ids. The original error report was that <b:message /> doesn't support composite components. However, probably the too-strict check caused problems in other situations, too, even if they complied to the JSF specification.
• #606 under certain circumstances, the <b:dataTimePicker> was rendered without its form-group CSS class.
• #605 BootsFaces 1.0.0 introduced horizontal forms, and the new attributes label-col-xx-yy. However, we'd forgotten that it's a common use case to combine multiple label-col-xx-yy attribute targeting different screen sizes. #605 allows you to do just that.
• #598 The search expression "**:id" used to return zero or one results. However, the wildcard indicates that multiple results are returned, not just the first. BootsFaces 1.0.2 fixes this.
• #597 That's a very strange bug: <b:colorPicker> didn't send data to the backend. Starting with BootsFaces 1.0.2, it works properly again.
• #596 One of the reasons why so many people report incompatibility with PrimeFaces was a CSS rule going rogue. It was meant to address a single component of BootsFaces. As a side effect, it affected every component of PrimeFaces, reducing its font size to 85%. We've fixed that. However, there are many incompatibilities remaining. Please check out the GitHub repository https://github.com/stephanrauh/PrimeFacesAlongWithBootsFaces which tries to solve the incompatibilities between PrimeFaces and BootsFaces (or Bootstrap in particular).
• #594 <b:datePicker> is one of our oldest components, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. This bug fixes that style and styleClass not were not rendered with inline b:datePickers.
• #593 BootsFaces adds CSS classes to indicate whether the input field has an error or a warning. This CSS class is added to both the label and the input field. Only it wasn't added to the input field of <b:selectOneMenu>. We've fixed that.
• #591 You couldn't order data table columns by date (or rather: the sort order was alphabetical, which is wrong in almost every country of the world). The new feature #602 fixes this. Kudos to @mtvweb!
• #586 <b:dateTimePicker> behaved very strangely when AJAX was activated. It sent requests before the user could even start to type. As a result, the date pickers showed wrong or empty values at page load. #586 addresses this bug. Kudos to @mtvweb who fixed this bug!
• #584 We were a bit surprised that <b:selectMultiMenu> didn't support AJAX. We've fixed that. However, the component doesn't support the standard set of events because the underlying JavaScript component supports a slightly unorthodox set of events. We're sure you'll cope if you keep that in mind. Everything you really need is there, but sometimes the event names are different from what you might expect.
• #579 Some time ago, we'd introduced the attribute show-collapsible-link of <b:panel>. The idea was to provide a visual hint that the panel can be collapsed and to make it easier to reach it using the keyboard. One version later the implementation got lost. We've restored it in a conservative way. By default, there's no visual clue. You have to activate it manually. As a side effect, panels look like standard Bootstrap panels again. The title is only underline if you set the attribute show-collapsible-link to true, or if you hover the mouse over the panel title.
• #578 The method DefaultNodeImpl::equals() tested the attribute text instead of the (internal and unique) id. This might lead to weird errors if someone's using methods like ArrayList::remove. We've fixed that. However, this method isn't used by BootsFaces itself. We just considered it useful enough to be sure many developers already use it.

BootsFaces v1.0.1 - Bugfix Release

v1.0.1 Ship List - Bugfix Release

Our Team is happy to publish the first Bugfix Release since v1.0 .
As an Added Bonus, we added a simple but useful component: <b:video> to display Videos.

New components:

• b:video is a simple component displaying videos ( #553 )

Bugs Fixed

• Disabling or hiding tabs of b:tabView : make sure that disabled tabs are never active ( #580 )
• b:remoteCommand didn't work ( #575 )
• tabindex not rendered in component b:dateTimePicker ( #573 )
• b:inputTextarea AJAX broken in some cases in BootsFaces 1.0.0 ( #569 )

• datepicker doesn't make use of converter during encodeBegin ( #558 )
• b:message styleClass is not working ( #562 )
• <p:dateTimePicker> locale problem ( #556 )
• Corrected the markup of <b:inputTextarea> (and input fields in general) ( #475 )
• added the unfied AJAX engine to the <b:dataTable /> ( #543 and #570 )
• The label of an b:selectOneMenu now has the correct CSS style class if it has a FacesMessage ( #565 )

Enhancements

• Update Font Awesome to 4.7.0 ( #552 )
• Gradle - Remove the left shift (<<) operator (deprecated from Gradle 3.2) ( #548 )
• If the activeIndex of b:tabView is defined by an attribute of the back-end bean, this attribute is updated on both AJAX and non-AJAX requests. So the back-end developers knows which tab is currently active.
