Build 1.0.71 (29 May 2018)
New build is posted and online docs updated.
The previous build 1.0.69 was compiled to target Java 1.5+, but in this build we are targeting 1.7+ or higher. So you will need to run with at least Java 1.7 now (we recommend Java 1.8). Hopefully this should not be a problem since 1.6 is over a decade old now. We'll probably upgrade to require 1.8+ sometime in 2018.
Also note that Java FFI is not going to work with 1.9 because they reworked jars and classpath for project Jigsaw. That will be a significant development effort to fix. In the meantime you will need to use JDK 1.8 when compiling Fantom code which uses Java FFI.
I have posted new build and updated online docs.
We have finally open sourced domkit! We pushed all Andy's code to BitBucket last week. This is our new HTML5 toolkit which has been under development for on and off about a year. This library is still actively under development, so consider it beta. Might still be a few breaking API changes, but we are using it production now so its getting close. Take a look at the pod docs. Not much example code yet. We have a test harness that we probably need to look at moving over to Fantom repo too at some point soon.
Its been long overdue, but we have finally posted 1.0.68!
There have been many breaking changes to the dom APIs. This is in preparation for the development of a brand new UI toolkit called domkit which we hope to open source later this year. Domkit replaces FWT as our toolkit for developing HTML5 user interfaces in Fantom. See topic 2466 for more details, and please review change log for list of changes.
I posted a new build and updated the online documentation - we had built up a huge amount of changes since the last clean build. No really big new features, but tons of small enhancements and fixes. Here are a couple of the highlights:
The dom pod API has received many enhancements, and will most likely be the center of a lot more development through 2015 as we continue to make Fantom a first class platform to target web applications.
Its been almost a year since we actually posted a build with all the latest changes. So I figured it was about time to to get a clean zip with all the tweaks, fixes, and enhancements we've added over the last 10 months.
Google code doesn't allow file downloads anymore, so I posted this build on BitBucket.
Couple notable new APIS...
The official Fantom hg repo is now hosted on BitBucket:
https://bitbucket.org/fantom/fan-1.0
We looked at doing this a few years ago, but felt it wasn't quite ready. Since then its turned into a very nice platform. And more importantly, dramatically simplifies how we can accept and review patches. So hopefully this lowers the bar for contributions.
We are no longer pushing to hg.fantom.org - and will be bringing that server down over the next week or two. So make sure you update your local repo to use BitBucket.
I posted a new build and updated the online docs.
This is mostly just a bug fix release with lots of fixes and minor enhancements.
Build 1.0.65 (20 May 2013)
ThisI have posted the latest build for download and updated the online docs.
The biggest feature in this build is what we have open sourced the webfwt. This is an awesome new pod that includes tons of FWT widgets designed for use in a browser making use of DOM and CSS.
Other than webfwt, this is mostly just a maintenance build with six months worth of fixes, tweaks, and minor enhancements.
Today we finally open sourced webfwt - and we decided to put it right in the core Fantom distribution! Webfwt is the browser specific extension to FWT we've developed over the last few years for our commercial software, SkySpark.
Almost the entire UI for SkySpark was built using FWT and Webfwt, so its quite a powerful library. There's quite a wide range of widgets available - just to name a few:
Anytime we create a new reusable widget, it will end up in this pod, so webfwt will continue to grow. Some widgets are currently marked @NoDoc since I don't consider the APIs stable quite yet. But things should be in order by the time we roll the next Fantom build.
