OpenXava 7.1.5 released

This is a maintenance version with many bug fixes and some small improvements.

To update edit the pom.xml file in your project and change the value of the openxava.version property, in this way:

<properties>
    <openxava.version>7.1.5</openxava.version>
    ...
</properties>

Then rebuild your project:

• With OpenXava Studio:
  • Right mouse button in your project > Run As > Maven clean
  • Right mouse button in your project > Run As > Maven install
• Or with command line: mvn clean package

Look at the migration instructions.

Improvements

We have done some improvements:

• New CompositeFilter to sum two IFilter to set with Tab.setFilter() or as base for an IFilter for @Tab.
• New environment variable XAVA_CALENDAR_VIEWEVENT_ACTION to define the action on click in a calendar event.
• New method cloneWith999() in the Dates utility class to remove milliseconds from a date.

Upgraded libraries

We have upgraded the following third party libraries:

• Driver version in doc and new projects upgraded for Microsoft SQL Server.

Documentation

We have been working to improve documentation:

• Documentation to configure MariaDB for OpenXava applications.

We release new docs and videos constantly, not waiting for the official release of the code. So you have been already using some of the above material, although all the above docs are in the GitHub under the 7.1.5 tag.
