Backbase is proud to announce the release of Client Edition 4.4.0, the latest version of its Enterprise AJAX Framework that includes a cross browser implementation of the SVG tag library.

The Client Edition delivers a robust foundation on which many of today's highly interactive websites have been built. And now, it also forms the basis of the latest version of the Rich Portal, a framework for creating personalized customer interaction environments, which aggregate information and applications from multiple sources into an unparalleled user experience.

We strongly recommend upgrading to Client Edition 4.4.0, which can be downloaded from http://www.backbase.com/download.

Backbase Client Edition 4.4.0 comes with full support for Internet Explorer 8 as well as the following improvements and features:

• The Client Framework now includes a Backbase Scalable Vectore Graphics (SVG) library. For more information, please refer to the Application Development Guide.
• Widget development:
  • New panel resize events
  • Calendar supports userInputCorrection attribute to allow greater flexibility, processing manually defined date values.
• With the exception of the events that are optimized for performance (DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument, DOMNodeRemovedFromDocument, contstruct, and destruct) the Backbase implementation of the event capture phase now conforms more closely to the DOM Level 3 specification.
• API improvements:
  • Support is added for a boolean autoboot attribute on the script tag for boot.js. The default is true. By setting the value to false, the Backbase engine boot sequence can be controlled programatically using the bb.boot API function.
  • Selector support is improved so that an error is thrown when a selector that cannot be parsed is encountered. Support is also added for :not() and :target().

The documentation is available at BDN, and you can find a detailed overview of the changes in the Release Notes.
