Hy. I am very glad 1.1 is in alpha, especially as it comes with a lot of functionality I've been waiting for. Some things I've noticed though:
- a small part of the API has been changed; the changes are actually good, as full backward compatibility would really make the API inflexible, so I see this as a good thing
- there are some methods that are deprecated now, and the javadoc provides no clear alternative; this is not a good thing, as usually when a method is deprecated, the javadoc clearly states what to use instead

Anyways, nicely done!

HI,

my observations after a first look using gxt 1.1 in my app.


1)
The icon definitions I used are not longer working as expected when used in a ContentPanel or in a Window. They icons are shown repeated.

e.g. sample css def:
.icon-list {
background-image: url(../images/fam/application_view_list.png) !important;
}

When I add "no-repeat" no icon is shown at all.

The effect is also visible in the explorer demo -> Window -> Complex

2)
For Radio's I set the field label (with setFieldLabel(..)) but NO label is shown on the form

no Desktop source in gxt.jar

Fixed in alpha 2

I do not see any issues with Radio. You use setFieldLabel for a single Radio. You use setBoxLabel for a Radio in a RadioGroup.

there are some methods that are deprecated now, and the javadoc provides no clear alternative;

Can you point these places out? We will add comments.

This has been corrected.

All fixes are in Alpha 2.

One deprecated method with no alternative in Javadoc is
tree.setItemIconStyle("tree-folder");

- on a more serious note, there is a problem with the BorderLayout; this problem was not present in 1.0.2. I cannot yet provide a simple test case (I will try to provide one tomorrow), because the problem is in the middle of the project, and very hard to isolate. That's it for now.

In former release the usage of setFieldLabel worked also for Radio's in a RadioGroup

Since 1.1alpha, when I try to make an assertEquals() with JUnit on two BaseModel objects that are equals (the map contains 2 strings and 1 long) the assertion fails.

With gxt1.0.2 it works fine.

I guess there have been a change on the implementation of BaseModel or on the implementation of the equals() method of BaseModel class?

Can post Advanced Combo, Grouping and Totals Grid sources now that the 1.1alpha is issued.

I tried to make an editable grid with

ColumnConfig col = new ColumnConfig("name", "Entreprise", 200);
col.setEditor(new CellEditor(new TextField()));

But i must be missing something because nothing happens, I still cannot edit the company name.

In my previous post I meant "Can you post".

The tree is not rendering properly in 1.1 as you can see in the attached picture. Gaps are not respected inside folders.
