ZK continues to kick Echo2's ass when it comes to releasing new versions. I know activity for activity's sake is not the point, but Echo2 has stagnated a bit while the Ajax world has marched steadily on.
OK, enough about my disappointment. What about the new release of ZK 2.3.1? From the announcement:
- New (and simpler) way to customize the display of error messages.
- Support the file download that opens a Save dialog at the client to let the user download arbitary file from the server.
- A new component called
captchais added to simplify the use of CAPTCHA.- Java Interpreter (based on BeanShell) supports hierachical scopes, aka., nest scopes.
I haven't seen CAPTCHA components in too many places yet. CAPTCHA is pretty much required for any app that allows public registation, so I'd expect to see this one used pretty heavily.
