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
(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 has several known bugs in IE7/DHTML, which were discovered
just as we were calling the release:
* LPP-4241 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.
Please report issues to laszlo-dev, file bugs in JIRA, or post
questions in the forums.
