TopLogic 7.8.0

7.8.0

TopLogic Release

2024-04-19

A new "Core" theme family is available, consisting of the "Comfort" and "Compact" themes, each in a variant with a toolbar and with a sidebar. The new themes are based on the TopLogic design system and can be adapted relatively easily to a customer's corporate design using design tokens. A new type of theme variable "HTML templates" enables the customization of the generated HTML structure for individual elements of the interface.

The drag & drop form editor has been supplemented by the option of rendering self-defined parts using HTML templates with embedded expressions. This makes it easy to realize special representations. In particular, it is now also possible to integrate dynamic graphics via parameterized SVG elements.

The new JMS service makes it possible to exchange data (both sending and receiving) via message brokers such as IBM MQ or ActiveMQ. Receiving and sending telegrams can be realized via an in-app configuration with TL-Script as well as via Java plug-ins.

Furthermore, the release brings a number of enhancements for TL-Script, new standard functions of the user interface such as the display of the current session log, a complete revision of the user administration, and a number of detailed improvements and bug fixes.

When migrating to the new release, please follow the migration instructions in the respective tickets.
