Besides the issue with the Visual Designer however, we have not been aware of any incompatibilities with OpenEdge 11.7.3.
.NET Framework Version 4.7
.NET 4.7 is not supported with OpenEdge 11.x, see: Is .NET 4.7 certified and supported for OpenEdge?
Progress has reported severy issues with OpenEdge GUI for .NET and .NET 4.7: GUI .Net Application crashes after .Net upgrade to 4.7
When using the .NET Framework 4.7, please make sure, you upgrade to OpenEdge 11.6.4 or OpenEdge 11.7.2 or later. Also, it may be required to recompile the application on a PC running .NET Framework 4.7 when applications are also executed on a PC with .NET Framework 4.7.

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.
OpenEdge 11.7.3 compatibility
During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.3 we have experienced the following issues:
- [SCL-2216] - 11.7.3 Visual Designer disabling properties of ABL user controls
The issue has been resolved by Progress Software with hotfix 007 for OpenEdge 11.7.3.
OpenEdge 11.7.2 compatibility
During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.2 we have experienced two issues:
- [SCL-2007] - Correct support for WebHandler in CcsServiceManager
- [SCL-2008] - Closing SmartWindowForm causes crash on OpenEdge 11.7.2
We consider it mandatory for customers using OpenEdge 11.7.2 to use at least the release #44166@2017-11-27 of the SmartComponent Library.
Due to an fix for
- [SCL-1924] - SmartViewerControl: copy mechanism cannot cope with clob datatype
from Progress Software for in OpenEdge 11.7.2.001 we further recommend all customers to apply this hotfix as well.
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-2986 Implemented a graphical editor for LayoutPosition
Description:
We have added a graphical editor for the Layout Position setting of instances in the SmartFramework repository object master designer. This editor is implemented as a drop down on the Layout Position field of the instance viewer.
SCL-2987 Added support for property lookup type to MetaViewer designer property sheet
Description:
We have added support for lookup or value list style attributes in the dynamic property sheet of the repository viewer and grid designer components.
SCL-2997 Made further properties of the SmartComboEditor and SmartBusinessEntityLookup not localizable
Description:
The ForeignFields and QueryString properties of the SmartComboEditor and SmartBusinessEntityLookup classes are now defined as not localizable. The Visual Designer of the Progress Developer Studio will now store the property values in the source code and not in the .resx file.
SCL-2998 Implemented a WebHandler that supports to execute database queries
Description:
We have added a new web handler, that allows to directly execute ABL read-only queries against the database.
Queries can be executed like this:
http://localhost:8820/web/ExecuteQuery ?query=for each Customer where name begins "L"&top=10&fields=CustNum,name,SalesRep
or
http://localhost:8820/web/ExecuteQuery ?query=for%20each%20Customer%20where%20name%20begins%20"L"&top=10&fields=CustNum,name,SalesRep
The Web handler needs to be registered in openedge.properties like this:
handler41=Consultingwerk.Web2.WebHandler.ExecuteQueryWebHandler: /ExecuteQuery
SCL-2999 Added Bob Sophia Banner to PASOE startup procedure
Description:
Based on the Consultingwerk\banner.txt file we have added a variable banner to the AppServer startup procedure. This banner will be written to the AppServer logfile upon successful start of the AppServer using the AppServerStartupManager.
The banner can be customized (replaced with a different file) using the STATIC Property Consultingwerk.Framework.FrameworkSettings:BannerFile.

To support faster read only access to database records using unique keys following a repository and value object approach we have implemented a new plugin for the Consultingwerk.BusinessEntityDesigner.Plugins.ValueObjectRepositoryGeneratorPlugin
Story
SCL-2989 Implemented a WebHandler for the ITranslationProvider service
Description:
We have added a new web handler to provide access to the ITranslationProvider service.
The web handler accepts the arguments scope, key, default and original as documented for the ITranslationProvider service.
The web handler is registered like this:
handler42=Consultingwerk.Web2.WebHandler.TranslationProviderWebHandler: /GetTranslation
SCL-3002 Implemented support for checkbox selection when rendering Kendo UI grid for Angular
Description:
Based on the SelectTypeRow and the RowSelectors properties 
The following selectable type is rendered for the Anguzlar grid:
SelectTypeRow = Extended or ExtendedAutoDrag and RowSelectors = TRUE -> selectable: checkbox
SelectTypeRow = Extended or ExtendedAutoDrag and RowSelectors = FALSE -> selectable: multiple
SelectTypeRow = <anything else> -> selectable: row
