Vaadin RnD Update 02-03/2014

About two months ago, I speculated that TouchKit 4.0 beta 1 and TestBench 4.0 alpha 1 would be released within a couple of weeks. Since then, things have changed. Since both releases were depending on modifications to the core framework that were themselves not yet released, our plan was to ...

Vaadin RnD Update 01/2014

Since we wouldn’t want to miss out on the popular sport of looking back at the previous year, I will start this year by taking a look into the past. Although it feels like it happened a very long time ago, it turns out to be less than one year since Vaadin 7.0 was released. Roughly halfway through ...

Vaadin RnD Update 11/2013

Earlier this year, our vision was to get you a beta release of Vaadin 7.2 by the end of this year. We have, however, come to realize that one critical feature (i.e. Grid) has posed more of a challenge than what we expected. This has postponed the plans for some of the smaller changes that we wish ...

Vaadin RnD Update 10/2013

Once again a month has passed and I have some news for you about what has been going on in the RnD corner of our new office space. Along with the real estate, Vaadin's RnD efforts also keep expanding - our headcount is currently 14, up by 5 compared to half a year ago. First of all, you might be ...

Vaadin DEV team Update 9/2013

There are lots of things going on right now, so please bear with me while I struggle with keeping all the things on a suitable level of detail. The biggest change, literally implemented under the hood, is that we have reorganized the R&D department. For about two years, Vaadin Framework and all ...

Vaadin Development Team Update 8/2013

The last month can be summarized as Vaadin 7.1.2, some not yet released fixes and some internal fiddling and brainstorming. That was easy. Anything else? With no exciting concrete news to report, I’ll instead take a more human approach. I’m happy to announce a 33% increase in the manpower of the ...

Vaadin Development Team Update 06-07/2013

Two months have passed since my last status update. That’s two months of last minute fixes, a late release, a well-deserved summer vacation and most recently attempting to resurrect the framework development mindset that was suppressed during the vacation. The most awesome piece of news for you is ...

Vaadin Development Team Update 05/2013

While we're still working at full steam, there has not been so much visible progress to highlight as we have mostly been fixing important but not spectacular bugs. We did release Vaadin 7.1 beta 1, but that was already covered in my previous update as well as in a separate blog post. We released ...

Vaadin Development Team Update 04/2013

Let’s start with the bad news: We have chosen to postpone Vaadin 7.1 beta 1 to the beginning of May with a stable release coming a month later. The main reason for this delay is that we want to tweak the push support by adding a couple of small features that we initially imagined we would not need ...
