New Features

This page summarizes the main new features that are introduced in each PRADO release.

Version 3.1.1

Added a new control TTabPanel that displays tabbed views.
Added a new module TCacheHttpSession that stores session data using a cache module to improve the session performance.
Added Oracle DB support to Active Record

Added seamless AJAX support. A whole array of AJAX-enabled controls, called active controls, are introduced. The usage of these active controls is very similar to their non-AJAX counterparts, i.e., plug in and use. For more details, see the tutorial about active controls.
Added complete database support.
Added new controls, modules and services, including TSoapService, TOutputCache, TSessionPageStatePersister, TFeedService, TJsonService, cache dependency classes, TXmlTransform.
Enhanced some data controls with renderers. Renderer enables reusing item templates that are commonly found in TRepeater, TDataList and TDataGrid, and makes the configuration on these controls much cleaner. For more details about renders, see the updated tutorials on TRepeater, TDataList and TDataGrid.
Added support to allow including external application configurations. Enhanced template syntax to facilitate subproperty configuration.
Added TDbUserManager and TDbUser to simplify authentication and authorization with user accounts stored in a database.
