ZK 2.4.1 - Performance Improvements, Better Testing Support and YUI

Dietrich Kappe, Monday, July 9, 2007 @ 5:41 am

The folks over at ZK have released 2.4.1, which contains a host of performance improvements, as well as better support for testing. From the announcement:

• The transmission time over the slow Internet connection is improved dramatically due to the use of the gzip compression and the removal of unused codes from prototype and script.aculo.us.
• Tree controls can now display items in multiple pages. It improves the performance of huge trees dramatically.
• An option not to disable HTML tags behind the modal window. It is designed to speed up the opening of a modal window on a sophisticated page.
• The generation of UUID of components, pages and desktops is customizable. It is designed to work with the record-and-replay testing tools.

There's also some discussion in a new "small talk" on how ZK handles the whole yucky ThreadLocal business with Hibernate, Spring, etc. Can't say I like this part of the ZK design, as it makes it hard to cluster apps for failover.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this release, however, is that they've started to do the work of integrating YUI-EXT with ZK. See this "small talk" on it.
