Client Compatibility

| Note | ||
|---|---|---|

Prior to 5.1, the syntax write&File(null/String,....) would write the file serverside, in 5.1 and beyond it will trigger the streaming behavior to the browser as described above. |
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
When during method execution the writeXxxFile function is called multiple times, this will result in only streaming the file specified in the last call to the browser. All previous calls to the writeXxxFile function will be discarded. |

When the callback method parameter is specified when operating in a Smart Client, the File Open Dialog will still show immediately and halt execution of the method until closed. When the method finishes, the callback method will be called as well. |
| Note | ||

As mentioned above, in the Web Client the media upload dialog will be shown to the user after the method that called the showFileOpenDialog function has finished and when the user has selected the file, the callback method is called with the selected file as a argument of type JSFile. |

General
- Open sourcing of Servoy Developer, Servoy Smart Client and Servoy Web Client code under AGPL
The source code of the entire Servoy Developer suite and the Smart and Web Client has been made publicly available under the AGPL license. The source code for Servoy 5.2 is available from https://subversion.servoy.com/product/branches/v52x_branch. A new Open Source Guide has been added to the documentation wiki specifically targeted to developers interested in contributing to the open source projects. - PostgreSQL 8.4 bundled as default database
As of Servoy 5.2, the database bundled in the Servoy installer is PostgreSQL. Servoy 5.2 ships with PostgreSQL 8.4. - Enhanced Security
Servoy 5.2 supports an enhanced security mechanism, separating the login logic from the actual authentication logic, to provide more robust authentication.
To support developers to adopt the Enhanced Security mechanism quickly into their existing solution, an upgrade tutorial has been provided here. Although the Enhanced Security mechanism can be disabled on adminpage, it is highly recommended to utilize this from Servoy 5.2 onwards.Warning title Existing solution will cease to work in Servoy 5.2 Existing solution, developed in Servoy versions before Servoy 5.2 will not work correctly in Servoy 5.2 IF Enhanced Security is enabled (which it is by default) AND IF the solution falls in one of the 2 below mentioned scenario's
The Enhanced Security mechanism (when enabled) affects existing solutions in the following scenarios:- Solution run in the Servoy Smart Client that utilize the custom login form functionality
- Solution run in the Servoy Smart Client that does not require authentication
Programming Features
- Added application.showFormInWindow(...)
Allows the developer to show Forms in a real window that:- Can be minimized/maximized/closed/resized by the user
- Shows as a separate entry on the System bar of the operating system
- Allows the user to select which window is in front
This functionality is additional to the already existing function application.showFormInDialog(...), which shows the form in a dialog, which: - is always on top of the main application window
- does not show as a separate entry on the System bar of the operating system
- can only be closed and resized by the user
- Added option to supply "Reply To" address when sending an email using the the email plugin's sendMail() function
The "from" email address parameter can be 2 separate email addresses, separates by a comma. The first will be utilized as the "from" email address, the second as the "reply to" email address. - Added security.authenticate(...) to facility communication between Login and Authenticator solutions. See Upgrade existing implementations to Servoy 5.2's Enhanced Security for more information
Deployment
- Batch processors & Headless Clients can open solutions of type "Module" directly. This also goes for Headless Clients started with the Headless Client plugin
