| Direct2CP is available.
This new version of CP2JavaWS brings the following features and enhancements : - Added support for php on the server side (not yet full php objects encoding/decoding, only CPDictionary and CPArray encoding/decoding to anonymous php objects), including digest authentication. - Added easy forms creation by code, including validation management (local and remote validation methods) with automatic error messages display. - full support for exceptions and errors. - support for complex nested master detail views (forms views can be used as detail views, and even composite detail view is allowed, for example a detail view that contains both a form view and another master detail view). - enhancements and fixes in master view : technical id column can now be hidden, columns labels and sizes can be set, master/detail layout split can be horizontal besides vertical, fixed in transient wrong values when sorting in Firefox (now asynch read), fixed additional triggered selection after master view element selection (now asynch read). - endpoint's url can now be relative. - support mix of java and php endpoints (separate tracking of java sessionid and php sessionid) - generic dao service for php and connection factory - fix in decoder for null dictionary or array properties - fix in request parameters (now urlencoded - required for special chars like + or = used in encrypted values, criterias or text content) - support aes encryption for form fields - window controller for password reset - fixed log errors for xhr's non allowed (and not useful) request headers (content-length, connection) or unsafe ones (set-cookie) - added paged grid collection view - added drop upload controller (compatible with Safari 4, Safari 5.1, Firefox) - added css3 based Zen html5 audio player (including fixes for Firefox) |

| 02-24-12 / 11:22 PM : HTML Encrypted Media Extensions (cjed) |
| The W3C presented a proposal for video and audio files protection. It is based on a license server : No "DRM" is added to the HTML5 specification, and only simple clear key decryption is required as a common baseline. It is the missing feature that allows Flash to be still required, notably for on demand video. |

| 01-27-12 / 11:41 PM : WebOS : Enyo JS available (cjed) |
| HP presented its Enyo javascript framework, that notably allows developing webOS applications. We can see demos of UI controls, that take inspiration from iPhone's UIKit, however the available APIs are very limited for now, compared with initial Cappuccino version from 2008. Moreover some controls still require a WebKit based browser (Enyo 2.0, expected in September, will work on all browsers). In tutorials, we find an example of external Twitter service call, based on a JSONP request (the source code reminds the one from CPJSONPConnection, and the one from Enyo.Asynch logically is close to - however not as evolved as - CPURLConnection). We also find a generic service, DbService, for data access using a serach filter. Services can be developed in javascript, thanks to the use of Node.js. The syntax is still as low level (close to DOM) as jQuery (less abstraction and less features than what Cappuccino's components provide). Following this announce, we also learn that John Rubinstein is leaving HP. |

| 12-03-11 / 07:21 PM : Google : antitrust request by EU (cjed) |
| The European Union filled a request against Google about antitrust issues, finally : The internet search engine provides two types of results when people run searches on its engine: (i) unpaid search results, also known as “natural” or “algorithmic” search results, and (ii) third party advertisements shown at the top and at the right hand side of the search results page, also known as “paid search results” or “sponsored links”. The alleged abuses concern both unpaid and paid search results. After all, what did Google brought to people ? - a search engine full of unwanted/commercial links (with opaque ranking system and ads revenues management), that is harder and harder to use - Google Maps and Google Earth : very useful ideas, however not the only ones now - Android : not even at iOS5/iPhone 5 level after 5 years, despite Google's CEO being at Apple's board at its launch time - GWT : still limited experience due to Google's lack of experience in UI design - Gmail : now not better than any other free mail system, and did exit beta status more than 10 years after launch, while Chrome still reached 10 non beta versions in two years only Then Steve Jobs's advice to Google to focus on its core/experienced areas was right. |
