Main New Features In The OFBiz Trunk

July 2010

• jQuery branch
  • A new jQuery branch has been created, the ultimate goal is to replace propotype and Dojo, no risks of conflicts as it uses jquery() and not $(), WIP...

  • Improved the internationalization of the current calendar (will be replace by a jQuery calendar later)
  • Migration to FOP 1.0
• Applications
  • Better Franch labels

June 2010

• Framework
  • Adding possibility to pass parameter on engine by serviceengine.xml
  • Adding new service engine xml-rpc-local
• Applications
  • Improved Dutch language

May 2010

• Framework
  • Help text tooltips can be created for form fields. For example, hover your mouse over some field labels on the Product Store form on the demo server (username=admin, password=ofbiz).
  • Charting capacity with flotr
  • Screen widgets are constructed using the factory pattern. Users can create their own screen widgets.

April 2010

  • Migration to Tomcat 6.0.26
• Order
  • loadCartFromOrder can now read OrderItemShipGroup
• Applications
  • Almost all lookups now use the layered presentation. We will fix some bugs which prevent us, for the moment, to generalize to lookups called from lookups.
• Portals
  • Adding a bunch of new portal generic screens

March 2010

• Product
  • Products inside categories can now be filtered by introductionDate
• Workeffort
  • enhanced workeffort calendars: it is now possible to select a calendar type ("personal", "manufacturing") and then specify further search constraints; simple stat information (like total number of people allocated in a day by all the events happening in that day) are available; improved information for specific work efforts (like production run or production run tasks)
• Accounting
  • implemented LIFO and FIFO costing methods for accounting
• Project manager:
  • Adding milestones to Gantt charts
• Framework
  • Removed of several previously deprecated methods in base and entity engine.
  • Improve startup time, by reducing heavy debug logging in catalina and axis. In a production environment, this gave a 40% speedup during startup.
  • Found/fixed several cases where an entity value would fall back on using the "default" delegator.
• Framework: Multitenancy
  • First steps to an integrated multitenant functionality.

  • Introduced Tomcat's JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener (read why at OFBIZ-5395), most useful when used with an external applicaiton server (whith redeployment phases)

October 2013

• Framework
  • It's now possible to use a port offset parameter to run an instance on another set of ports (all are handled with the offset). See ant -p for more, look for "portoffset". It works also for tests (ant run-tests) but a weird issue with testSOAPSimpleService service, so I did not commit this part yet.
