Dear customer of the SmartComponent Library,

today we have released a new version of the SmartComponent Library on our website:

http://wiki.dynamics4.net/D4wiki/SmartComponentLibrary/Download

This link is accessible by active maintenance customers of the SmartComponent Library only.

This release of the SmartComponent Library has been tested with OpenEdge 10.2B Service Packs 5, 6 and 7 as well as OpenEdge 11.0.0.003 and 11.1.0.005. If you are planning to use the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.0, please make sure to use at least the Hotfix 003 and Hotfix 5 for OpenEdge 11.1. See http://blog.consultingwerk.de/consultingwerkblog/2012/07/serious-issues-with-gui-for-net-type-management-in-openedge-11-1/ for some issues that prohibit the use of the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.1 without any hotfix. If you need support obtaining this service pack from Progress Technical Support please let us know!

We are expecting the release of OpenEdge 11.2 later this February or March. We will provide a feedback on compatibility with OpenEdge 11.2 soon after the release of OpenEdge 11.2. So far, our tests seem positive.

As with the previous release we will be releasing multiple sets of source code for the different OpenEdge releases. We are always attempting to leverage the latest language and platform features from OpenEdge. For instance the Progress.Json.?ObjectModel provides as an superior foundation for serializable objects that was not available in OpenEdge 10.2B. As OpenEdge 11 uses the .NET 4.0 framework, .resx files created with OpenEdge 11.x are no longer compatible with OpenEdge 10.2B as the type information (e.g. for System.Drawing.Image objects) references a strong name including the .NET Framework version.

Customers using OpenEdge 10.2B and OpenEdge 11 may be using the OpenEdge 10.2B based shipment also on OpenEdge 11. However the OpenEdge 11 targeted deployment of the SmartComponent Library will not be compatible with OpenEdge 10.2B. We are also expecting a seperate deployment for OpenEdge 11.2 in the future to leverage new language features there as well.

The full list of changes is accessible here:

This version introduces new versions of the SmartComponent Library .NET Assemblies. Please check the release note for the current versions of the Assemblies (dll files).

As always it's the recommended approach the remove all R-Code (of the SmartComponent Library and your application) before starting the initial recompilation after applying this update.
