ANN: GWT Window Manager Release 0.6 available

[Luciano Broussal]

Hi All,

I'm glad to announce that GWM's release 0.6 is out now and available
for download.

Some of the great new features you will be able to use are:

* Hide effects when closing frames
* 4 new great themes added to the release
* Setting a theme on GDesktopPane changes all the themes of its
GInternalFrame's
* Different themes for selected and unselected frames
* GFrameAdapter added for easier listener management

Improvements which have been made are:

* Better code architecture by refactoring into GFrame/GInternalFrame/
GDialog
* Frames with URL content are no longer reloaded when resized
* Faster dragging of frames with different drag modes

Bug fixes of the new release include:

* ListBoxes are no longer visible through frames
* GInternalFrame's visibility bugs have been fixed
* Maximize/Minimize functionality bugs have been fixed
* Closed frames will set all references to null so that it can be
garbage collected

Just play with the demo, read the installation/migration guide and
grab the release for your project.

For feedback check back at the GWM Forum. Any comments welcome.

I just wanted to say that it only took me about 30 minutes to update
the new jar files and make the appropriate code changes. I also tested
with overlapping applets and I would say that the bug fix for
listboxes showing through has also fixed the problem for overlapping
applets.

It looks like the mac theme may have a problem as the toolbars for
each window go invisible.

Keep up the great work!!!

Hi Scooter,

Thank you for you invaluable feedbacks.
Just could you give a bit more explanation or sample code to reproduce
what you think it could be a bug with the Mac theme? If it is one i
would be happy to fix it :)

The gwm is going more and more well thank to the users feedbacks. so
if you find bugs , want improvments, new features etc it would be nice
to fill the tracker :)

and you can all of you go on the official Forum at
http://groups.google.com/group/gwt-window-manager

It sounds good it took only 30 min to do the migration as your project
is a big one based on top of the gwm :)

Thank you Scooter.

Hi there,

I can also confirm that migration from 0.5.2 to 0.6 was easy and a
quick fix.

And the improvements are really great to see and have. Thanks to you
Luciano for your great work.

It was a great pleasure helping you in this event.

As the guy responsible for the docs, if something is not clear about
the docs, please post back to the forum at the forum at

http://groups.google.com/group/gwt-window-manager

I also want to mention that at

http://code.google.com/p/gwtwindowmanager/downloads/list

you not only find the new 0.6 release but also the migrationguide.html
for helping you with the migration between the different versions. If
you don't find it clear, please post back here or at the Gwm forum.

Hope that the GWT community will enjoy this release as much as it was
fun for my project and me to take in it. :)

Dominik
