• Code completion inside JSDoc for supported JSDoc tags and on Types (type '@' first, then Control-Space). Supported tags:
  • @AllowToRunInFind
  • @author {userName}
  • @constructor
  • @deprecated
  • @example
  • @param {Type} name mandatory name property

  • Wiki Markup
    @param \{Type} \[beta:name\] optional name property

  • @private
  • @protected
  • @return {Type}
  • @see
  • @since
  • @SuppressWarnings (warning)
  • @throws {Type}
  • @type {Type}
  • @version
• Support for automatically creating the basic JSDoc tags for an existing function: See context menu of the Script Editor > Source > Generate Element Comment (Alt-Shift-J) 
• Support for inline JSDoc to provide type information for objects: 

  Code Block
  function demo(){ /** @type {JSFoundSet<db:/udm/contacts>}*/ var x = databaseManager.getFoundset('udm', 'contacts'); x. //Code-completion here will know that x is a FoundSet on table Contacts in the UDM database, thus will include all columns, calculations and aggregates }

• Support for the @deprecated tag: When a variable or function is marked as deprecated any reference to the object will generate a builder marker
• Support for the @private tag: Hides the object for access from outside the current scope, including child scopes. Accessing the hidden object from outside the scope in which it is defined will generate a builder marker
• Support for the @protected tag: Hides the object for access from outside the current scope. Accessing the hidden object from outside the scope in which it is defined will generate a builder marker 
• Support for typed Arrays: 

  • Wiki Markup
    @type \{String\[\]}

  • @type {Array<String>}
  • @type {Array<Byte>}
• Support for types Objects:
  • @type {Object<String>}

  • Wiki Markup
    @type \{Object<Array<String>>}: equivalent of \{\[beta:'one', 'two', 'three'\], \[beta:'four', 'five', 'six'\], \[beta:'seven', 'eight', 'nine'\]}

• Support for typing JSFoundSets and JSRecord: 
  • @type {JSFoundset<datasource>}
  • @type {JSRecord<datasource>}
    (a datasource string is build up like this: "db:/{serverName}/{tableName}", for example "db:/udm/contacts")
  • @type {JSFoundset<{column1:String,column2:Number}>}
  • @type {JSRecord<{column1:String,column2:Number}>}
• Support for typing as a RecordType:
  • @type {JSDataSet<{name:String, age:Number}>}
  • @param { {name:String, age:Number}} person A JavaScript object with a name and age property representing a person
• Support for optional properties on RecordType. There are two different syntaxes allowed: 

  • Wiki Markup
    Square brackets around the property name: @param \{\{{{sDocID:String, \[beta:sTemplateID\]:String}}}} oArg

  • An equal-sign behind the type: @param {{sDocID:String, sTemplateID:String=}} oArg

...

• Added a Servoy Active Solution Working set: the workset functionality of Eclipse allows to limit the scope of operations like searching or display of builder markers. The Servoy Active Solution workset is a pre-defined workset that contains the Active Solution and all it's modules. The Servoy Active Solution working set can be used in:
  • Problems view: The contents of the Problems view can be filtered to only show the builder markers for the active solution. Click "View menu" > Configure Contents > Select "Servoy Active Solution Filter"
    
  • Searching: In the Search dialog, the scope of the Search can also be restricted to the Servoy Active Solution workset:
    
• Servoy MarketPlace integration: Servoy MarketPlace can be opened in Servoy Developer, through Help > Servoy MarketPlace
• Added Servoy Admin page shortcut in the Help menu of Servoy Developer

• Images in the Media library are now opened with the Viewer which is registered for the image type. By default this will be the Image viewer Servoy supplies, but can now be overruled by the user, for example by installing another Image Viewer plugin, for example the QuickImage plugin for Eclipse: [http://psnet.nu/eclipse/|http://psnet.nu/eclipse/]
• Table Editor: support Control-Click to deselect the selected row and hide the Column Details
• Database Server Editor: Highlighted the JDBC Driver ClassName if it cannot be resolved, meaning that the specified class cannot be found in the available JDBC Drivers

...

• Compression is enabled by default on the Servoy Application Server for serving HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, which improves the performance of the Web Client
• Lazy loading of the datamodel of database server clones, resulting in faster Servoy Application Server startup and no unneeded overhead for database server clones that aren't going to be used
• Enhanced Security is now the default mode, can only be disabled by manually setting the relevant property in the servoy.properties file: "servoy.application_server.enhancedSecurity=false"
• The default value for the MaxHeapSize memory setting (-Xmx) for the Application Server has been changes to 1Gb (both in servoy_server.bat as well as in the wrapper.conf for the Service component)
• Display Community Edition splash screen content over HTTPS, to prevent mixed content warnings when running the community edition over HTTPS
• In the Preferences of the Smart Client, the Services Preference tab is hidden if the Smart Client is not connected to the Application Server through Direct connection of TwoWay socket  
• BugFix/BehaviorChange: pre-import hook now runs before updating the datamodel and importing sample data
• Improved Web Client source generation: The generated source will always use short, dynamic ID's, to lower the amount of data that needs to be send back and forth between the browser and the server.
  The option on the Servoy Admin page to use Local ID's (servoy.webclient.templates.use_local_ids) has been removed, as it's no longer needed.
  The HTML/CSS templates contain the long UUID and Servoy will automatically map the UUID's in customized templates at runtime to the internal ID's that end up in the Web Client's page markup
