Release Notes
Following the release of the OpenEdge 11.7 Release we have completed our testing of the SmartComponent Library on this release of Progress and are proud to announce formal support for the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.7 with the 2017-04-24 release of the SmartComponent Library. Generally we recommend customers on OpenEdge 11 to upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7 quickly. Starting the 2017-07-14 release we are supporting OpenEdge 11.7 Service Pack 1 (11.7.1).
Starting the 2015-10-09 release the Business Entity Designer will feature a start page with links to most recent release note articles on this site.
With SCL-751 we have adopted native Enums for OpenEdge 11.6. To activate this feature customers must add a definition to products.i. SCL-751 provides details for this.
With SCL-1113 we have modified the templates for SmartWindowForms and SmartTabFolderPages generated from the Business Entity Designer. We have removed the initialization of the viewer controls SmartTableIOState property (value was set to "NoDataSource" within the InitializeComponent method). Customers using their own set of templates should adopt the same fix to their templates.
New Versions of Proparse .NET Assemblies (30 December 2018)
We have updated proparse with further enhancements in this release (see https://github.com/consultingwerk/proparse/releases/tag/4.0.1.1177). Please download the .NET Assemblies ZIP file from our ESD and replace the proparse.net.dll in your environment with the latest one. The new assembly reference is:
|
As proparse is used by our Business Entity Generator, this new version of the proparse.net Assembly is also relevant for customers not doing GUI for .NET development and require support for parsing new ABL language constructs.
This version of proparse provides additional debug information when errors are thrown from proparse.net.dll.
New Version of the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents Assemly (09 January 2019)
To support the new SmartFilterControl and the "Filter" link between the SmartFilterControl/SmartDynamciFilterControl and a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter or SmartDatasetChildAdapter we have updated the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.dll. The new Assembly reference is:
<assembly name="Consultingwerk.SmartComponents, Version=2.2.0.49856, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=10603cb31df311b3"/>
Customers need to update this Assembly in order to compile the latest releases of the SmartComponent Library.
Hybrid Realm now using IAuthenticationService
We've updated the SmartHybridRealm class used for http authentication to leverage the IAuthenticationService. It is therefor required that for AppServers requiring http Authentication (e.g. REST or Web) the correct IAuthenticationService implementation is registered (using service.xml files).
Customers relying on the previous behavior should ensure that the Consultingwerk.SmartFramework.Authentication.AuthenticationService is regsitered as the IAuthenticationService. This implementation will auhtenticate users against the password stored in the SmartUser database table.
When users with no Login Company set should be able to login using the SmartHybridRealm, it's required to set the Login Company Tennant Domain (similar to the field in the Login Company Maintenance) in the .restapplicationsettings / .applicationsettings, e.g.:
"DefaultAuthenticationDomain": "consultingwerk" |
This is required as the Hydrid Realm Interface from Progress does not provide the domain name to the authentication method.

UTF-8 based deployments available
Starting August 14th 2016 we ship our source code also as UTF-8 encoded. The ZIP files ending with _utf8.zip contain the source code encoded with that code page. The source code in the remaining archives is still encoded in ISO8859-1. Also on Github there is a new branch containing the OpenEdge 11 based source code in UTF-8.

Overview of included tickets
Bug
SCL-4599 Workaround for loading .smartrepo Files with nested instanced for OpenEdge 12.8.4
Description:
We have implemented a workaround for an issue caused by a change in behavior i OpenEdge 12.8.4. Nested instances in .smartrepo files have no longer been imported from the READ-XML statement. We’re still busy investigating the source of the change in behavior with Progress Software.
We have the suspicion that this is a side-effect of Progress fixing this issue in OpenEdge 12.8.4:
OCTA-61964: ProDataSet READ-XML and READ-JSON methods cause the ABL session to crash when the XML/JSON document mistakenly contains a record nested inside of itself.
Customers using the SmartFramework repository on OpenEdge 12.8.4 are required to upgrade to this release.
Improvement
SCL-4596 Implemented IRenderedFormCustomizer to support customizing of rendered forms
Description:
We have implemented an IRenderedFormCustomizer service interface that is invoked during the rendering of repository based forms and allows the customization of those similar to the customizer interfaces for viewers and grids.
SCL-4597 Resolved typo in UnableToAcuireLockException exception class name
Description:
We have fixed a typo in the exception class name. As customers may have implemented CATCH blocks for the exception with the typo, we’re adding a new class with correct spelling that inherits from the existing class name so that it can also be catched by the previous name.
The previously existing class name now has a PROTECTED constructor so that is can no longer be newed.
SCL-4600 Added wizard/property sheet for ForeignFields of MetaDataSource
Description:
The ForeignFields property of a MetaDataSource instance in a repository based container can now be set using a property sheed dialog.
SCL-4601 Repository Object Exporter now replaces illegal file characters in file names
Description:
The Repository Object Exporter builds the file name for the .smartrepo files based on the object name in the repository. We’re now replacing characters that are invalid in file names with the underscore.
