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
Improvement
SCL-3710 Added support for HTTP Basic Authentication to CefSharp
Description:
We have added support for HTTP Basic Authentication to C#.Support is implemented through the Consultingwerk.Windows.CefBrowser.CefBasicAuthHandler RequestHandler implementation.
define variable oBrowser as BrowserForm no-undo. oBrowser = oCefService:OpenBrowserWindow(). oBrowser:AddRequestCallbackHandler (new CefBasicAuthHandler()). oBrowser:NavigateTo ("https://testpages.eviltester.com/styled/auth/basic-auth-test.html":U) .
SCL-4652 Added Repository support für BindTo attribute in MetaDataSource
Description:
The MetaDataSource type in the SmartFramework repository now supports the BindTo attribute of the SmartBusinessEntityAdapter. Valid values are QUERY (Default) and DATASET.SCL-4654 The JSDO Generic Service will now skip returning tables not contained in the ViewTables argument of the request.
Description:
Previously tables not contained in the ViewTables argument of the request have been returned as empty nested tables. Now those tables will completely be ignored when building the response.SCL-4655 Business Entity Designer now uses a number of spaces dividable by four for the source field mapping
Description:
When generating the source code of a Data Access class, the Business Entity Designer now indents the variable defining the source field mapping using a number of space characters dividable by four. This will prevent VS Code extensions such as Rainbow Indet to mark the generated code as falsely indented.SCL-4656 Added character property FetchDataArgument to DataAccess base class
Description:
We have added a character property named FetchDataArgument to the DataAccess base class. The purpose of the class is the same as the property FetchDataArguments (of type Progress.Lang.Object): Pass arguments from the FetchData() method to methods auch as AttachDataSources or SourceDefaultQuery.Story
SCL-4538 Implemented PDF Viewer Component
Description:
We have implemented a new Consultingwerk.Windows.CefBrowser.DocumentViewer.DocumentViewerControl control. This Control is based on CefSharp and utilizes the Google Chromium web browser to display PDF files and Images.
