Jump into Spring with the latest XPages Extension Library
After a long cold winter, we are happy
to jump into Spring with the twelfth
XPages Extension Library release for Notes/Domino 9.0.1.
Just like the daffodils, tulips and other early bloomers in your garden,
this ExtLib release represents new growth that will bring a smile to your
face.
In this new release of the XPages Extension
Library, some new controls and a new configuration for the Application
Layout control have been added to the Bootstrap plugin. The new Carousel,
Dashboard, and Navbar controls further enhance the Responsive tool set
available to XPages application developers. The Simple Responsive Application
Layout Configuration has more of a focus on responsive capabilities, and
is designed to be quick and easy to configure whilst still providing plenty
of functionality. To help you understand how you can benefit from these
new features, we are including a new demonstration application named "ToDo.nsf."
This application lets you do straight-forward ToDo task tracking
but has been designed using all of the latest responsive & Bootstrap
features provided with the ExtLib. It specifically uses a Bootstrap theme,
glyphicons, jQuery, and the new XPages Bootstrap controls.
Building on the community contribution model
introduced late in 2014, this release includes community developed enhancements
and fixes from the
XPagesExtensionLibrary project
on GitHub. The
result is an improved Value Picker control,
a new Simple Action for showing and hiding In Place Form controls, and
improved OneUIV302 rendering. The Domino Designer tooling has also had
some bug fixes applied based on defects reported through the community.
We hope the developer community finds the
latest XPages Extension Library release to be a useful tool for growing
new applications!
