Download from Rocket-0.38.zip

• Changed InlineStyle.setString/setColour/setUrl to do nothing if the property value is null.


• Renamed HorizontalVerticalSlider to FloatingSlider.


• Added ability to set a background widget to all Slider widgets.


• Fixed issue common to all Slider widgets where clicking on the slider background didnt stop the handle once it had reached the clicked spot.


• Sliders also now also update the width and height of any given background widget so that its dimensions match the content of the slider.


• Changed the method signatures for both Panel.insert0(Widget,int) and Panel.insert0(Element,int) to void as the Panel.insert ignored the Element returned by Panel.insert0(Widget,int).


• Modified bean-factory.dtd to allow mixing of bean, remote-json-service, remote-rpc-service, advice elements in order.


• Corrected a number of element types, made all id attributes a "ID" and bean-reference a CDATA rather than IDREF.


• Improved error messages within BeanFactoryGenerator to also include whereever possible line/column number of xml parsing problem.


• Improved BeanFactoryGenerator to escape unsafe characters for generated types (bean id's are used to name generated factory beans type namesetc).


• Minor fix, generated BeanFactory's actually implement the passed in interface, previously one could only cast to BeanFactory and not the class literal passed to GWT.create().


• Fixed bean references bug where bean references failed if bean type was a subclass or implementing interface of property type.


• Fixed bug where beans couldnt include a reference (using bean-reference) to a remote-rpc-service or json-rpc-service tag declared bean.


• Fixed StringHelper.split behaviour which was not returning empty tokens.


• Renamed getter to fetch the suffix of a CssUnit from getValue() to getSuffix().


• Fixed ZebraFlexTable which was inserting cells via prepareCell when it shouldnt have.


• Dropped "6" from Browser.isInternetExplorer6 method.


• Fixed StringHelper.htmlEncode/Decode to not handle apostrophes and apostrophe entities.


• Fixed Pager widget to show pages along in between next/previous button rather than links to items.


• Renamed the Pager currentPage property to currentItem


• Changed Pager to automatically redraw when currentItem is updated.


• Modified default values for Pager previous and next link/buttons.


• Added method to fetch the names of all properties from a JavaScriptObject - ObjectHelper.getPropertyNames()


• Reworked style support classes from 4 monolithic classes into separate classes for type of style(Inline,Computed,Rule) and browser (InternetExplorer,FireFox,Opera,Safari).
  Public interface of InlineStyle, ComputedStyle, RuleStyle, StyleSheet remain constant, only implementation has changed.


• Renamed StyleConstants to Css.


• Renamed DatePicker to Calendar (includes styles).


• Changed the return type of KeyEvent.getKey() from char to int.


• Added a number of methods to KeyEvent to help test the key code or type of key for the event, eg getFunctionKey(), isBackspace(), isCursorXXX, isEditing, isNavigation etc,


• Updated Safari DOM support class to translate key codes for special keys like BACKSPACE to standard values.


• Added method to retrieve char from KeyEvent


• Standardized protected event handling method names, renaming any handleXXX to onXXX for all Widgets (includes DnD).


• Fixed SubClassVisitor which was getting stuck in an endless loop (useful when writing generators).


• Added a new ConcreteTypesImplementingInterfaceVisitor which may be used to visit all concrete types for a given interface.


• Added a new ReachableTypesVisitor which provides all concrete types that are reachable from a given concrete type.


• Fixed CheckBox style name (was missing "-" due to a typo in WidgetConstants).


• Reworked GeneratorContext from being an abstract class into an interface.


• Introduced a new SourceWriter which contains identical methods as those found in com.google.gwt.user.rebind.SourceWriter with new commit()
  and rollback() methods. The rollback method is currently unsupported until the GWT adds the ability to cancel or rollback a newly generated type.
