Highlights

This release includes major improvements from @giffmex to the welcome and tutorial documentation, and new development docs incorporating the work of @cheigele and @cjrk.

Incompatible Changes

Change System Tag $:/tags/stylesheet with $:/tags/Stylesheet

The issue is that the capitalisation of $:/tags/stylesheet is not consistent with other system tags. This release adds support for $:/tags/Stylesheet, and adds a deprecation warning if $:/tags/stylesheet is used. Support for $:/tags/stylesheet will be removed before the beta.

• Added support for $:/tags/Stylesheet and a deprecation warning when $:/tags/stylesheet is used

Change ButtonWidget title attribute to tooltip

The use of the title attribute in the ButtonWidget was not consistent with the tooltip attribute used by the ImageWidget and LinkWidget. This release adds support for the tooltip attribute to the ButtonWidget alongside the existing support for the title attribute, but with a deprecation warning.

• Added tooltip attribute to ButtonWidget

Removing Support for RegExp Filter Operands

As discussed in the associated ticket, the support for regular expression filter operands is incomplete and inconsistent. The plan is to remove support for this feature in the next release. A new filter operator has been provided to replace it, along with the addition of a deprecation warning that is displayed whenever regular expression filter operators are used.

• Added new regexp operator
• Added deprecation warning for regular expression filter operators
