This file contains highlights of what changes on each version of the web_ui package. This file is normally updated whenever we push a new version to pub.
- Changes to use the new libraries (lib v2)
- More readable output: generated code is more compact and easy to correlate with source templates
- Making some declarations optional:
- You can omit the script tag in the entry page, we will generate an empty one for you. NOTE: make sure you only put entrypoint html files in 'build.dart'. This change makes the compiler accept any html file (including files that only define components) and treat them as entrypoints. If you include a component's html file in build.dart, the compiler will generate additional files that you don't need.
- Components with no 'extends' attribute extend from 'span' by default
- bug fixes:
- remove extra whitespace incorrectly inserted in components
- internal changes in code structure
- fix for type errors with templates in SVG
- Bug fix: build.dart kept running nonstop (wihtin the Editor) if you had components code under a subdirectory.
- Updates to comply with trunk SDK 16102 (part of next trunk release)
- Updates to comply with all breaking changes in the new trunk SDK
- Bug fix:
- No longer generates calls to Element constructors that don't exist (affected heading and strong elements, among others)
- Rename package to web_ui
- Change TodoMVC to have component with composition
- Bug fix:
- fix component composition in Firefox (workaround dart:html matchesSelector)
- Support for forwarding error messages and file mappings to the editor
- Bug fixes:
- errors in Firefox
- allow including web-components from packages/...
- fix --basedir
- bugs with id when using nested components (component composition)
- Upgrades for new trunk release (mainly breaking changes in dart:html)
- Bug fix:
- hosted and sdk dependencies errors due to changes in html5lib.
- URI attributes are now checked for XSS: use SafeUri if validation is too strict.
- Accept, but ignore, the new editor flag '--machine' in build.dart
-
Two-way binding changes:
- New syntax:
bind-attribute="dartAssignableValue",data-bindis deprecated - Support for radio buttons
- Support for valueAsDate and valueAsNumber
- Better detection of error conditions, like duplicate value attributes.

-

-
Conditional templates:
- Added new experimental syntax
<template if="exp">.
- Added new experimental syntax
-
Bug fixes:
- Make dartium extension use the latest dart.js
- html fragments: fix issues with text nodes mixed with elements
- Internally data bindings watch the result of 'toString()', so types implementing toString (like Maps or StringBuffer) can be used directly in templates.
- Most generated identifiers are now hidden: all identifiers generated for html elements in the template are hidden, except '_root'. Root will be hidden in the future.
- New syntax for inline event handlers:
on-click="increment($event)"instead ofdata-action="click:increment" - Added new explainer examples
- Updated dartium extension
- Bug fixes:
- Support for querying for elements from main()
- Recursive imports between components
- Warnings are emitted (previously they were generated but not printed)
- Name mangling turned off if --out is specified
- Support for
<select>in data-bind
- Bug fix: adds missing id on elements that we query in generated code
- Bug fix: additional fixes for symlinks in windows
- Fixes symlinks for windows
- Support for composition and extension
- Support for list and spaces in bindings of class attribtues
- Simpliffications in generated code
- Allow text bindings and fragments in conditions an iterations
