We are happy to announce the release of Iliad version 0.8 for GNU Smalltalk et Pharo. New features include: - Iliad is now using Grease and non portable code has been partially replaced; - The "mark dirty" mechanism has been rewritten to improve support for tabs/windows sharing the same session; - The new Formula package makes it easy to build validated forms; - Control flow has been improved with new widgets (like confirmations, sequences, etc) and widgets can append or prepend other widgets; - In addition to static files served with ILDiskDirectory, they can also be served from the image with ILMemoryDirectory; - Smalltalk code can be evaluated on DOM events with #on<event>Do: ; - Rewrite rules can be applied to the url builder; Last but not least, the release also includes an experimental implementation of Comet using XmlHttpRequest long polling.
