TL Views: Popover-Element mit beliebigem Inhalt an einer auslösenden Schaltfläche
#29713
TL Views: a user cannot hide a tile of a <dashboard> and add it again later
#29755
React-UI: Auswahl in Objektlisten (<object-list selection>) – Karten direkt anwählbar
#29756
React view table: Excel export (parity with classic TableComponent) and generic download view action
#29757
React view table: show row count (total / filtered / selected) like the classic table
#29776
TL Views: Einheitliches Drag & Drop für Tabellen, Baum-Tabellen, Bäume und Kanban-Boards mit mehreren Drop-Operationen, Drop-Positionen und Drag-Arten
#29782
Concept: Discover right for the model based security (filtered object sources, masked form fields)
#29785
OpenAPI server: request bodies are not validated against the declared schema
#29786
MUI: Avatar (TLAvatar) mit Material UI darstellen
#29787
React UI: Atomare Bausteine (Schaltflächen, Menü-Auslöser, Checkboxen, Eingabefelder, Chips, …) sehen überall gleich aus und lassen sich durch eine Komponentenbibliothek (z.B. Material UI) ersetzen
#29797
XML import into existing data: resolve IDs against existing objects, skip known subtrees, optional references, language and variables from the input
#29799
Form dependencies: derived fields do not follow edited values; Java script functions cannot report what they read to the ScriptTracer
#29811
TL Views: a <button> ignores the display mode of its command and always shows icon and label
#29812
TL Views: a table column declares its own comparator; enumeration columns follow the enumeration's order
#29814
TL Views: no supported way for a server-side background source (a bus listener) to push a channel value into a view; only <start-job> does it through internal API
#29815
TL Views table: no per-row CSS class (a row cannot be marked as changed, stale or own)
#29816
TL Views table: a <computed-column> cannot be hidden by default (shown only through the column chooser)
#29821
Design System wave 3b: table, tree, column selection and text read the design system package
#29825
Design System: column selection of the React table – grouping as one select, checkbox first, visible and hidden columns apart
#29829
TL Views: Beschreibbarer Kanal, der aus anderen Kanälen vorbelegt wird
#29830
Transaction monitor: Select a time range or a revision range instead of a single day.
#29836
Design System wave 4a: dialog, window, drawer, snackbar and notice bar read the design system package
#29840
Persistent object wrapper hierarchy: remove dead and duplicated code, move stateless behavior into interface defaults, replace class identity checks
#29849
Configuration: an encrypted property value that is not a valid encrypted value is silently "decrypted" to garbage instead of being rejected
#29854
PowerPoint-Präsentationen aus TL-Script erzeugen: deklarative Folienbausteine, Export in eine Firmenvorlage, Analyse von Vorlagen
#29858
Privileged TL-Script functions: authorize a configured script as a whole by a command group on a computed security object
#29859
React-Einfachauswahl: Die aktuell gewählte Option fehlt in der Optionsliste
#29866
Design System wave 4b: app shell, app bar, sidebar and bottom bar read the design system package
#29870
Design System wave 4c: layout containers read the design system package
#29907
Entwicklerkommandos und Skript-Rekorder außerhalb des Produktivmodus für alle Benutzer
minor
#28605
Possibility to download a recorded script
#28995
Column filter should consider comparator of the column when sorting the options
#29801
TL Views: the split of <adaptive-detail> is configurable (size, unit, min-size on <selector> and <detail>; drawer width as drawer-size)
#29805
TL Views: a <value-input> is declared like a model attribute (mandatory, annotations) - a mandatory enumeration input offers no "no value" option

defect

critical
#29784
OpenAPI server: basic authentication of a technical user accepts an empty password when the configured password is empty (e.g. unset environment variable)
#29823
HistoryCompaction: Löschen von REVISION/REVISION_XREF und Umschreiben der Revisionsbereiche in je einer Transaktion lässt die Datenbank explodieren
major
#29580
RowSourceObserver: a disposed observer is still notified and throws NPE (_scope null) from DerivedViewChannel and GlobalModelEventForwarder
#29783
TLScriptFunctions: a script function is bound to an arbitrary overload of the same name, including a private one
#29788
Configuration: the error for an undecodable encrypted property echoes the value (e.g. a plain-text password) into the log
#29789
tl:generate-java fails on the first build after a TopLogic version change: it neither resolves the engine web fragments nor reads the project's own model sources
#29791
TL Views table: the row activation button runs the activation command without selecting its row, so commands reading the selection channel see another row (wrong breadcrumb label)
#29792
TL Views: a closed dialog (and a left tile-stack frame) stays visible for 1 s unless the application ships its own exit animation - move the demo's animations into the engine
#29800
Model patch of an existing database fails when a class gains a generalization and overrides its attributes in the same change
#29806
WrapperGenerator: every top-level class of a module with a singleton extends StructuredElement (regression of #26716)
#29807
WrapperGenerator: classifier constants of two enumerations collide, the generated factory does not compile
#29808
TL Views: the <on-submit> command of a text or number <value-input> runs on Enter only, not when the field is left with a changed value
#29810
TL Views: the selection channel of a <tree> keeps an object deleted in another view, and scripts over it fail
#29813
TL Views: a <tree> does not react to a change of an object it does not display yet, so a node that becomes a child of a shown node does not appear
#29822
CompactHistoryTask: Wartungsfenster bleibt nach dem Lauf aktiv, Task-Ende geht im Neustart der Persistenzschicht verloren
#29824
TL Views table: "Standard wiederherstellen" in the column selection drops a declared group-by (and does not restore the declared sort)
#29837
TestCompileJSPs modifies the module's source webapp and breaks concurrently running scripted tests of the same module
#29838
ClusterManager: a database connection that failed in a cluster transaction is returned to the pool and keeps failing every refetch
#29846
Changing the type of a column with content fails on Oracle (ORA-01439) and of an indexed column on MS SQL Server
#29848
ReportQueueTest.testAddJob fails sporadically: the queue thread may process the job before the test checks that it is queued
#29871
TestZipper.testEmptyFolder fails depending on the order in which the file system lists a folder
#29878
React UI does not react behind a proxy that buffers or refuses the window event stream
minor
#29766
TL-Script add() wirft UnsupportedOperationException bei Multi-Referenz auf transientem Objekt
#29804
XML import: line and column of a message location are formatted with a thousands separator ("line 4,433")
#29809
TL Views: a <value-input type="tl.core:Binary"> shows the file name as text instead of the binary field (no upload, no download)

task

minor
#29790
Upgrade guide 7.11 to 8.0: add the Maven >= 3.8.9 requirement, state that 7.10.x applications can follow it, and point to it from the release notes
#29793
Developer docs: recipe for an application-defined primitive type whose display depends on the owning object (custom datatype, value class, type-level storage, label provider, input control)

#29866

Design System wave 4b: app shell, app bar, sidebar and bottom bar read the design system package

Migration

Continues #29836 (wave 4a, overlays). Own ticket so that a release between the two merges does not close the ticket of the open one. The layout containers (TLPanel, TLSplitPanel, TLCard, TLStack, TLGrid, TLDeckPane, TLTileStack, TLInset, TLAdaptiveDetail, TLAccordion, TLWizard, TLViewError) follow in wave 4c with a ticket of their own.

Problem

The app shell of the React view layer – TLAppShell, TLAppBar, TLSidebar (with its mobile drawer and flyout), TLBottomBar and the hamburger TLDrawerToggle – is styled by the old stylesheet tlReactControls.css. The same jobs are done several times in different ways:

  • Two drawers: the off-canvas sidebar has no Escape, no focus handling, no aria-hidden, and is glued to the app bar by a literal top: 3.5rem.
  • The sidebar flyout computes its own position without flip or tracking and runs out of the window; role=menu is built by hand.
  • Navigation entries in sidebar, flyout and bottom bar have three anatomies; the active one is marked by a class only, without aria-current.
  • Sidebar collapse has no aria-expanded; the hamburger reports neither aria-expanded nor aria-controls.
  • App bar and bottom bar repeat the height 3.5rem as a literal.
  • No <main> landmark; aria-label="Bottom navigation" fixed English; breakpoint 768 kept separately in TSX and CSS.

Solution

Decisions in the package TopLogic/tl-design-system (spec docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-16-welle-4b-navigation-design.md, reasons in docs/skalen.md "Welle 4b: Navigation", forecast Q10–Q14 in docs/migration/altlast.md):

  • Only TLAppShell measures the breakpoint and passes it on as context (useDisplayClass) and as data-tl-display; no component stylesheet has a width media query. The content area is the <main> landmark.
  • On small screens the sidebar renders its navigation in the modal drawer of wave 4a (focus trap, Escape, scrim; focus returns to the hamburger). The hamburger exists only there and reports aria-expanded / aria-controls from server state.
  • Collapsed, a sidebar group opens its children as Menu at the new placement right-start.
  • Entries carry the anatomy of tl-menu__item; the current page is aria-current="page" and carries the selection surface, also on the head of a collapsed group containing it. A count at an icon's corner is the container tl-icon-badge.
  • App bar and bottom bar share the size token size-shell-bar (48px, 40px compact); the elevated app bar is separated by a line; the app bar gives way with its toolbar first, then the title.
  • The bottom bar names itself in the user's language.

Also carried by this wave: the empty table's focus ring was clipped by tl-table (found by the new browser test focus-clip.test.mjs in the package); it is now drawn inside.

Migration

  • The CSS classes tlAppShell*, tlAppBar*, tlSidebar*, tlBottomBar* and tlDrawerToggle no longer exist. Application stylesheets that target them must be rewritten against the package classes and attributes; the full old → new list is in the package (docs/migration/altlast.md, "Welle 4b").
  • The breakpoint is measured by the app shell alone. Rules for small screens read [data-tl-display~="compact"] on .tl-app-shell instead of @media (max-width: 768px).
  • Visible: the app bar is 48px high instead of 56 (40 in compact density); the elevated app bar is separated by a line instead of a shadow; the current page carries the selection surface instead of a bar at its left; on small screens the sidebar is a modal drawer over the app bar; the hamburger button exists only on small screens; bottom bar labels are 12px.
