Introduction

This page summarizes the new features, resolved issues, and known issues in AppBoard version 2.6.0 released TBA.

What is AppBoard

AppBoard is a data integration and data visualization platform that dramatically redefines the cost/benefit equation for the development and deployment of real-time business systems dashboards. AppBoard allows you to connect, integrate, visualize, and interact with your data in a simple, straight-forward builder environment. The end result is powerful, compelling dashboards that summarize data from multiple sources and can be accessed from any device.

Supported Platform Changes

• AppBoard client requires Adobe Flash Player 17.0 or greater. (AB-1026)
• Included PostgreSQL JDBC driver updated to version 9.4-1201-jdbc41. (AB-903)

New Features

• Add support for click actions on Sankey Widget. (AB-1017)
• Add support Sankey Widget links to skip over fields with empty/null values. (AB-1024)
• Improved performance of data collection processing in the flex client. For larger data collections (10,000+ rows) the time taken to process has halved. (AB-1047)
• Improved performance of passing data collections from flex client over the HTML Widget API. This operation now takes less than half the time it used given the same size data collection. (AB-1046)
• HTML Widget API has been extended to expose the current theme name, and widget identifiers. (AB-1037)

Resolved Issues

• Removed Apache Standard Taglib to address CVE-2015-0254. This library is not used by the product. (EN-196)
• Fix HTML Widget API so that data.columns is valid even if there are no rows in the data collection. (AB-1030)
• Fix HTML Widget API handling of single quote characters when calling saveConfiguration or setSessionVar. (AB-1013)
• Improve HTML Widget API so flex-initiated calls for updating the configuration and data collections do not consume javascript failures. (AB-1044)
• Fix Sankey Widget handling of empty data collections, now the diagram is removed and "no data" message shown. (AB-1023)
• Fix issue introduced in AppBoard 2.5.2 if the same data collection was used in multiple table widgets then it could lead to client crashes. (AB-1008)
• Data Sources marked Offline will no longer generate client errors. (AB-922)
• Fix null pointer exception that can occur with data sources that rely on the GenericAdapter which then requires a server restart to resume polling. (AB-991)
• Avoid un-necessary redraws on resize events if the new dimensions are the same as the old dimensions. This applies to the Sankey Widget and Heatmap Widget. (AB-1041, AB-1042)
• Better handling of username case sensitivity with LDAP Domain Adapters. (AB-939)
