Version 1.4.0

Refresh logic

The refresh logic has completely been changed, such that a grid can be
rebuild with new external data when clicking on the refresh button
(or when changing a custom field on which it is dependent)
This allows for a couple more use cases.

The page grid reload contains examples and explaination.

Grid height

We adapted the grid height calculation, such that it becomes dynamic.
(Height is adapted to the number of rows). You can configure the
height calculation using following set of properties

Improved date column handling

Companies are using the grid to manage activities that need to be completed by a certain date. To support these use cases we added a number of new date handling capabilities such as

col.xyz.defaultDate
This property allows you to set a date column relative to the current date (such as 7 days from now, or next quarter ...)
col.xyz.formatDate
Format the date to the more natural formats (instead of the geeky 2012-03-14)

Edit form handling improvements

The grid supports 2 main editing capabilities - inline or with a popup form.
It appears that the popup form is the most used, but it lacked some handling capabilities
Now you can navigate through a long list of rows using 'previous' / 'next' type of
buttons. Edits are auto committed (no need to press submit anymore)

Columns get tooltips

Using the col.xyz.tooltip property, you can specify to the user what is expected to be entered in a column.

Additional logging

We added quite a bit of logging such that when we encounter issues while integrating a grid with an external database, debugging is simpler.

Bugs raised in the field

We also addressed a number of bugs found by our customers

Conflict between Greenhopper and the plugin.
The plugin was breaking the drag and drop functionality of greenhopper - fixed
Conflict between the database custom field of Keppler-Rom
The database custom field integrated the jqgrid component, leading to a css naming conflict.
Excessive index creation logging
We sanitized the logging
