Since Version 1.1.9:

• Tabbed panes in de.must.markup.DataPropertyAdministration
• de.must.markup.ColumnDataList and de.must.markup.SimpleDataList - don't extend DataList directly any more now.

Since Version 1.1.8:

• File upload components. Required changes in your applications: JSP (butler) beans implement protected void handle(GeneralizedRequest request) instead of protected void handle(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request). Thus, you may access parameters in the same way, no matter if the form declared enctype="multipart/form-data" or not. Since the upload functionality is realized through existing foreign components, additional donwload from www.servlets.com is necessary to use it. See de.must.markup.MustMultipartRequest.
• Performance increase.
• Subclasses of de.must.wuic.MustFrame should override free() instead of finalize() now. Thus, system resource may be freed, no matter if the object is hold by another reference and independant from System decisision when to collect garbage.

Since Version 1.1.7:

• No Java JDK 1.4.0 compilation errors.
• Connection Pooling. Existing server applications need to implement getGlobal in class Session and JspSession. Existing Swing applications should check how mkt.Main.Main() and mkt.FrParamBas.act() open and change databases now. Instead of createBasics() createOrCheckConnections() is now used.
• Identifying database records via class Identifier. Thus, there is no switch case needed for different types of primary keys any more. Required changes in your applications: DataTableAdministration extending classes: Method isInUse uses Identifier instead of int:
import de.must.dataobj.Identifier;
. . .
  protected boolean isInUse(Identifier identifier) {
     return false;
  }

Since Version 1.1.6:

• New components and sample application parts for JavaServerPage technology see various\cookbookCompanions\jsp
