Web 2 progress

Hello,

did you guys notice in Feedback that a lot of feature requests got marked as implemented?

Seems like there is a quite a bit of WebAPI 2.x progress and I am looking forward to Xojo.Connect conference to learn the details!

i hope g.DrawObject for Web Api 2.0 comming soon.

I hope Feedback will be improved. Under Windows 10 it crashes at launch, and requests to restart to report the bug…

Yes that one doesn’t want to report what happned after relaunching … so there is nothing to report.

Indeed. Welcome to absurdia :smiley:

The request dates on those are interesting :wink:

As we mentioned last year, Feedback is our primary dog-fooding project for the new web framework and as such will become a web app as soon as we are far enough along and we have some time to finish it up.

I don’t know what you want to do, but Graphics (NOT Webgraphics) are available in Web apps as well, so you can use graphics.DrawObjet in a picture, and then convert to WebPicture.

Just going through and marking a bunch of things done to get a better idea of where we are :stuck_out_tongue:

i want draw something in the canvas paint event with the shape objects and saw that DrawObject was missing there.
but good to know that there is a workaround via picture object yet.

Should do the same with Feedback for iOS and Android. The XDC app is not complex enough to expose the pain points.

Don‘t get me wrong, but considering that the web 2.0 framework is more like a successor of the current and not only a bugfix version, marking these feedback cases as „done“, could cause some irritation if develeoper decide (or need) to stick with the old web framework.

Aren’t you able to mark them as „done in web 2.0“ or so?

This is AWESOME. Xojo web 2.0 FTW

WeÂ’ve been pretty clear over the last two years that all new features would only be appearing in the Web 2.0 framework.

So, does this say that WE is at status quo for two years already? This makes WE less valuable as time goes on. Guess it’s 2020 or never for WE.
That said, I know R&D is working very hard to get API 2.0 and WE 2.0 out. Don’t get discouraged.
But big steps at once are mostly a risky adventure with a chance some decisions already been overtaken by the time at release date.

The web framework 2.0 is going at least as big a deal as API 2.0 was in 2019. Let’s be realistic, it will not be smooth as silk in the first release. But I still am looking forward to it.

in another thread, we could see that many feedback requests for features or corrections are marked “implemented”. For sure, it means that Web 2.0 will bring much wanted improvements. Let’s cut Xojo just a bit of slack, they are working on it. It is long overdue for sure, but it is coming. Hopefully it is going to be as great as our expectations for it are!

I just did a quick lookup and we have still been fixing lots of bugs in the current web framework during the last two years and 2018r1 had a lot of new stuff too:

@Greg O’Lone - I apologize for having asked this question here. You’re right that a lot has been done as you have pointed out here.
