IT Mill Toolkit 5.3.0 RC 4 available

[Marko1 (Marko Grönroos)]

The fourth release candidate is available for download at
http://www.itmill.com/download/itmill-toolkit/unstable/5.3.0/rc4/
.

The current target for the 5.3.0 release is in two weeks (see the link to open tickets below).

Important addition (from Release Notes, see
http://dev.itmill.com/ticket/2319
for details):

The debug mode is now enabled by default, to allow debugging layout and other problems more easily. The debug mode:

[list]

Displays debug data to the server console/log.
[/list]

• Allows showing the client-side logging window, which you can enable by adding the request parameter “?debug=true” to the application URI.

• Adds an “Analyze layouting” -button to the debug window: when pressed, it will show red markers in potentially problematic layouts and show layout hint texts in the browser-window and in System.out.

You should disable the debug mode when releasing your application for production use. You can do this by including the following setting in your web.xml.

  <context-param>
  	<param-name>productionMode</param-name>
  	<param-value>true</param-value>
  	<description>IT Mill Toolkit production mode</description>
  </context-param>
