36 Commits • 10 Features
Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance summary for apache/causeway: Delivered a substantial facet-system upgrade with Qualified Facets and FacetRank, including robust purge semantics and per-lane ranking; this enables precise facet filtering and improves data visibility. Modernized API surface by deprecating FacetHolder#getFacet and transitioning to EnumMap-backed structures for faster access. Strengthened stability and quality through Oneshot deadlock fixes, thread-safe FacetRank improvements, targeted test fixes, and winner cache reinstatement. Enhanced layout and grid capabilities with support for layout-variant exports, fixes to honor layout variants in grid resolution, and BSGrid domain improvements utilizing LayoutKey as the single source of truth. Completed build/maintenance and security hygiene with Java 26 CI, dependency upgrades (Spring Boot, EclipseLink), removal of deprecated components (DefaultRoutingService), security cleanups (remove non-actions), and auditing enhancements to log updates only. These combined efforts yield faster, safer facet filtering, more reliable UI rendering, easier maintenance, and reduced security risk, driving tangible business value for the Causeway project.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 summary for apache/causeway: Delivered major UI and persistence architecture enhancements, stabilized core APIs, and completed key dependency/build improvements. The principal work under CAUSEWAY-3859 unified and simplified the value-model/serialization surface by flattening ActionSemanticsFacet, PromptStyleFacet, LayoutFacet into a record-based representation, and renaming LayoutFacet to LayoutPrefixFacet with extensive internal refactors to support consistent serialization and persistence. This groundwork enables easier evolution of the UI facets and more reliable cross-service data exchange. The release also added user-friendly drag-and-drop for text inputs, reduced runtime coupling by removing LiveQuery dependency, and made a series of persistence and API cleanup refinements to improve stability and performance.

The principal work under CAUSEWAY-3859 unified and simplified the value-model/serialization surface by flattening ActionSemanticsFacet, PromptStyleFacet, LayoutFacet into a record-based representation, and renaming LayoutFacet to LayoutPrefixFacet with extensive internal refactors to support consistent serialization and persistence. This groundwork enables easier evolution of the UI facets and more reliable cross-service data exchange. The release also added user-friendly drag-and-drop for text inputs, reduced runtime coupling by removing LiveQuery dependency, and made a series of persistence and API cleanup refinements to improve stability and performance.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for apache/causeway focuses on stabilizing the platform, expanding data access capabilities, and advancing export and UI features while modernizing dependencies. Delivered foundational JDBC Entity Facet support and related components for robust data access (primary key extractor, fetchByBookmark, and lifecycle handling). Implemented a PDF export prototype with tabular export, Boxable integration, and font handling robustness, accompanied by export cleanup and an Excel export PoC. UI improvements include an Image Panel revamp and File Upload UI enhancements. Upgraded core dependencies (Spring Boot, Wicket) with a migration to JSpecify annotations and updated Jakarta CDI API. Also completed notable stability and quality improvements, including a Calendar view NPE fix, and reductions in reporting noise for orphaned methods.
