Jan 1, 2026Month 2026-01: Delivered critical encoding reliability improvements in the Apache OFBiz framework by setting default UTF-8 encoding for Tomcat 9 HTTP requests and responses. The change prevents mis-decoding of non-ASCII characters and strengthens internationalization support for user-facing forms and APIs. This work aligns with OFBiz-13333 and reduces encoding-related defects across the web layer, including updates to default web.xml configuration and related settings.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary focused on stability and correctness in the apache/ofbiz-framework repository. Delivered a targeted bug fix for the include-form tag to reliably load grid definitions, addressing a regression where a missing matching form element by name could cause the grid to be skipped. The logic now also checks for a grid element, ensuring that grid definitions are loaded and processed by the include-form tag, preventing incorrect behavior and runtime errors. The change supports OFBiz-13290 and was implemented in commit f71906c362f2f000faed80a513060cc073791126.
