- In Smart Clients running under Java 6, Modal Dialogs (JSWindow of type MODAL_DIALOG and the dialogs displayed using the dialogs plugin) will be modal for their parent window (hierargy). This means that when having multiple windows (JSWindow of type WINDOW) open, a Modal dialog opened in one window will only block that window, not the other Windows. This aligns the behavior with the Web Client behavior. Unfortunately, the ability to set the scope of dialog modality in only possible from Java 6 onwards. When running Smart Clients on Java 5 modal dialogs will block all windows.
- The position and dimensions of JSWindow's (Windows and Dialogs) are now persisted over client sessions
- The client that gets started as Authenticator during the login process isn't consuming a license any more
- controller.recreateUI() will keep the existing x and y scrollPosition of the form being recreated.
- application.getTimeStamp() in the Web client will return the timestamp based on the timezone of the Client and the time of the Server: Before it would just return the timestamp based on the time and timezone of the server.
- Tooltips in the Web Client are not shown immediately, but after a short delay, to synchronize the behavior between the Smart and Web Client. Note that through the UIProperties APP_UI_PROPERTY.TOOLTIP_INITIAL_DELAY & APP_UI_PROPERTY.TOOLTIP_DISMISS_DELAY the initial show delay and the dismiss delay are now controllable by the developer in both the Smart and Web Client
- DeepLink arguments are now also applied to the onOpen method of the login solution. As a result of that, the application.getStartupArguments() method is deprecated, as it's no longer needed
- Enhanced Security is now the default mode. The UI in Servoy Developer and in the Application Server to disable it has been removed. It is only possible to disable Enhance Security through setting the relevant property in the servoy.properties file: "servoy.application_server.enhancedSecurity=false"
- All access to server side services like HeadlessClient or the Mail plugin is not allowed anymore from a none authenticated smartclient, you have to login before be able to use those services. If you want to use those services before login you have to go through the authenticator solutionunauthenticated Smart Clients. In order to access serverside services, the user needs to log in first. If the solution requires access to a serverside service prior to the user logging in, the developer needs to expose the services as methods in the Authenticator solution, which can be accesses prior to the user authenticating.
