May 2026 monthly summary for the jmix-framework/jmix repository. This period focused on delivering impactful features, stabilizing the UI layer, and improving maintenance efficiency to support business goals and developer productivity. Key features delivered: - Fragment Root Component Selection: Added the ability to select a root component for fragments (div, hbox, vbox, gridLayout, formLayout) with corresponding updates to the controller and descriptor to support root component selection. Business value: enhanced UI composition flexibility and consistency across fragments. - Vaadin 25 Support and Dev Server Upgrades: Upgraded development stack to Vaadin 25, updated dev server dependencies, enhanced main layout to handle project stylesheets, adjusted AppShell and CopyFilesStartupTask, and integrated legacy theme handling for compatibility. Business value: ensures compatibility with the latest Vaadin ecosystem and reduces upgrade risk for projects. - Meta-description Generator Test Optimization: Streamlined meta-description tests by removing unnecessary CLI tests to focus on core functionality, reducing test maintenance and CI time. Major bugs fixed: - Studio Handlers Tab Bug Fix: Fixed Studio UI to prevent the Handlers tab from appearing for appLayout, drawerLayout, and navigationBar by marking these components as non-injectable. Business value: improves UI clarity and prevents confusion in admin/UI workflows. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Delivered critical UI customization capability (fragment root selection) that expands designer flexibility and reduces workaround costs. - Achieved Vaadin 25 compatibility, reducing upgrade friction and keeping the project aligned with modern dependencies. - Improved Studio UI stability and maintainability by eliminating an incorrect Handlers tab exposure. - Improved test quality and efficiency by focusing tests on core functionality in meta-description generation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Vaadin 25 ecosystem and dev-server configuration, AppShell and CopyFiles startup flow adjustments, and legacy theme integration. - UI component model design for root component selection and fragment composition. - Test optimization and maintenance planning (CLI vs core functionality).
