OpenXava 7.1.6 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>7.1.6</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 method cloneWith59999 in the Dates utility class to set seconds to 59 and milliseconds 999.

Upgraded libraries

We have upgraded the following third party libraries:

• Embedded Tomcat used in development upgraded to 9.0.80.
• Groovy upgraded to 4.0.14
• Driver version in doc and new projects upgraded for AS/400.

Documentation

We have been working to improve documentation:

• Doc about internationalization (i18n) improved.

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 7.1.6 tag.
