Ext4Yii version 0.7 released
We are pleased to announce the second release of the Ext4Yii Framework. Among many additions and improvements, the Ext4Yii Framework version 0.7 provides the functionality to use customized ExtJS components and the ability to assign implied JavaScript values in Ext4Yii templates.

Summary

This version is the second release of the Ext4Yii Framework. The framework has been internally re-written for better performance, error handling and template parsing. The following is a short list of the new features which are implemented in this version.

Implied JavaScript Notation

We have added a new method for using JavaScript values in template attributes. This method is called the Implied JavaScript Notation (js://) which can be used to instruct the template parser to render inline JavaScript values.

Context Menus

Using the prop:ContextMenu property, it is now possible to easily create context menus for virtually every component in the Ext4Yii Framework.

Customized and 3rd party controls

It is now possible to use customized or extended ExtJS controls within the framework. This is possible by using either the ext:Generic component or the xtype and xclass attributes.

Other additions

We have implemented several plugins for the TabPanel control, GridRowExpanderColumn model for the GridPanel, and mong many other additions, we have enhanced remote loading for the ComboBox control.

New Image Packs

As of this version, two new licensed image packs have been added to framework for developers to choose from over 3500 different toolbar icons.

New license model and reduced pricing

As of this version the Ext4Yii framework will not be available under GPL licensed versions. The main reason for this change is to open possibilities for implementing advanced 3rd party controls and avoiding complex legal and licensing conflicts. Additionally we have reduced our pricing and support subscription fees, yet keeping the continuity of the framework safe for a long time to come.

New documentation site

We have revised and updated all the documentation pages to reflect the additions and changes in version 0.7

A new example browser

Our example site has been updated and renewed. We have added several new examples to show off the Ext4Yii framework.
