MagicAjax.NET ChangeLog

v0.3.0 (9 February 2006) - Major Release

Changes since 0.2.2

If another form tag was added to page, MagicAjax did not work; fixed it
Corrected an encoding issue
Some controls with AutoPostBack set to 'true' were not working properly; fixed it
Fixed reflecting scripts and css-styles that were added on a Ajax callback.
Note: if you want to run the current MagicAjax.NET development version under ASP.NET 2.0 medium trust (as most hosting-providers are forcing), you need to compile MagicAjax with the MEDIUM_TRUST flag on. Unfortunately, this will disable MagicAjax's feature to reflect script/css changes on callbacks for now (because we now use reflection for this to call private system variables). Also, only the default MagicAjax configuration-settings will be used (because medium trust doesn't allow reading of the web.config). We're working on a non-reflection version at the moment (using regular expressions to scan through the Html output), which will run under medium trust.
Fixed client-side ASP.NET validation
Image buttons now return the X/Y coordinates
Fix for incompatibility with flash applets
Fix for the problem of the AjaxPanel not displaying its contents on VS 2005 when in a UserControl
New MagicAjax attributes for ASP.NET controls (AjaxLocalScope, ExcludeFlags)
Added ExcludeFlags property for AjaxPanel
New base (abstract) controls added (ClientEventControl, BaseClientEventWrapper)
New toolbox controls added (AjaxZone, KeyClientEventWrapper, ClientEventTrigger)
Support for Opera and Netscape browsers added.
MagicAjax.dll is now strongly named (public key token bf4053b35db106f3), so MagicAjax.dll can be registered in the GAC.
AjaxCall event is renamed to AjaxCallStart
AjaxControl/AjaxPage/AjaxUserControl invoke AjaxCallStart at Load event, PreWriteScript at PreRender, and AjaxCallEnd at Unload, during an Ajax callback
Huge server-side performance improvement
There were conflicts with the cookies handling by ASP.NET 2.0 and other HttpModules; fixed it
Optimizations for the javascript client
DropdownList and single-selection ListBox were not cleared for firefox; fixed it

v0.2.2 (12 December 2005) - Maintenance Release

Changes since 0.2.1

The password TextBox was getting cleared at each AjaxCall; now it is ignored, the user should use an explicit javascript command to clear it with AjaxCallHelper.WriteSetFieldScript
The values of form elements are not taken into account for the fingerprint, thus html to update an already updated by the user form element is not sent to client any more
Fixed a bug of MagicAjaxConfiguration when its properties are changed by code
The 'AjaxCallObject.js.aspx' external script request is now cached by the browser
Changed the MagicAjax.Configuration.PageStore struct to class
Now AjaxPanel takes into account the changes made to form elements by the user and updates their values when necessary
Added 'WriteFormat' and 'WriteLine' methods at AjaxCallHelper.cs
Added check of browser type "NetScape5" for MagicAjaxContext's IsBrowserSupported
Fixed a bug of AjaxCallObject.js; when DoAjaxCall was invoked with empty parameters, a HtmlInputButton was "clicked" on the server
Fixed a bug of AjaxPanel; if it didn't contain any WebControls its contents were sent to client at each AjaxCall
An exception is thrown when the AjaxCallHelper write methods are used outside of an AjaxCall
All clientside validators inside AjaxPanels are disabled; This solves clientside validation script errors.
Fix for the clientside WaitElement. Now works for IE5.5, IE6 and FireFox.
Fixed a bug in AjaxCallObject.js regarding ClockID; AjaxCallHelper.SetAjaxCallTimerInterval is working properly now
Fixed the javascript errors the occured when the browser was not supported
An exception is thrown if MagicAjaxModule is not included in the HttpModules of web.config and the code tries to access MagicAjaxContext.Current
Added 'MagicAjaxContext' protected property in AjaxControl, AjaxPage and AjaxUserControl classes.
Minor enhancements

v0.2.1 (29 November 2005) - Maintenance Release

Changes since 0.2.0

Fixed a bug in AjaxCallObject.js; when the server reported an exception and 'tracing' was disabled, instead of rendering the error page a 'this.TraceWindow.document is null or not an object' javascript error occured
AjaxPanel is no longer a NamingContainer
