We improved the Content Security Policy to only work for browsers that support CSP level 3, we will allow for CSS and FONT * (all urls) by default, this can be changed in the admin page that has now 5 properties for this (to fully disable it, or to adjust the various directives to make it more narrow)

Also partially already in 2019.09 is that the typing of Components is a bit different now. Not everything is a RuntimeComponent anymore, because RuntimeWebComponent (introduced in 2019.09) are not RuntimeComponents because that is the base class for all our legacy components like RuntimeButton.

Currently we have:


Component -> RuntimeComponent  -> RuntimLabel/RuntimeButton/XxxxxYyyy
                    -> RuntimeWebComponent -> subs with <xxxx> as a type

So Component is the base type of everything and that has 2 sub types RuntimeComponent describing the whole legacy hierarchy and RuntimeWebComponent all the new Servoy Package Components.

So this: code: if (comp instanceof RuntimeComponent) will be false for WebComponents..
