On the Roadmap Site for ExtJS, there are some new interesting features to come for early 2009. Some of these are:
- Flash Charting API
- Ext.Direct – Remoting and data streaming/comet support – on of my favorites.
- Integrated client-server data binding/marshaling of updates
- ARIA/Section 508 accessibility improvements
- Update the Ext event registration model
- Ext.Ajax enhancements
- All new lightweight, high-speed core base library
Some words on the “new lightweight, high-speed core base library”:
Jack Slocum confirmed that this lightweight core base library is released under the MIT License. Even though some might think that there were enough noise about licensing around Jack Slocums ExtJS, i think that this step is a good and promising step. I also think that the License change to GPLv3 was good (except the way the change was done) for ExtJS, by the way. Anyway….
I am really looking forward to this new release in “Early 2009″.
