The main feature of this release is the support for creating rich internet application (RIA) with WebsydianExpress by supporting the integration of Sencha Ext JS.
In order for providing the templates for the Sencha Ext JS javascript libraries a brand new template generator has been provided.
For further information check the samples and documentation.
The matrix below shows you the changes made to each minor release of WebsydianExpress v3.0 and what variants of WebsydianExpress are affected. You will also be able to identify changes that affect the development environment of WebsydianExpress indicating if you are required to generate and build your existing functions in order to take advantage of the fix.
When upgrading to WebsydianExpress v3.5 you are required to obtain a new license file for your Websydian server.

| Improvements for Message log grid and filtering. Primarily focusing on performance. | 40673 | x | x | x | x | |||
| For the Win/iSeries variant, a problem was identified where the
application service job would terminate unexpectedly when updating
the administration interface if the location for the temporary
files was missing.
This has been fixed so an error is shown instead. |
40175 | x | ||||||
| Fix to translation dialog. In certain circumstances a translation of the site element texts would be registered for a non-existing language (*BA) instead of the first language in the drop down. This has been fixed. | 40353 | x | x | x | x | |||
| If WsyDetails in a PageGeneratorForProcess contained a field
that inherited from the Session Surrogate field and if this field
did not have a limits all triple - the session id would in some
cases not be handled correctly.
The meta code in PageGeneratorForProcess has been changed to handle this case correctly. |
41211 | x | x | x | x | |||
| New validation patterns | 41568 | x | x | x | x | Description | ||
| When calling the API SessionUpdate, the SessionTimeOut was set to zero instead of the value registered for the session. This has been fixed so that the existing timeout is retained. | 41733 | x | x | x | x | |||
| Dojo java script library removed from WebsydianExpress installation script. Users will need to manually add Dojo if required. | N/A | x | x | x | x | |||

| In the Windows variant, callback functions were not always called - even though the specified event had occurred. | 41646 | x | ||||||
| In the Java variant, an issue occurred when creating a soap
response document if the charset specified on the request content
type wasn't supported by the JVM.
In the case where the request charset isn't supported, the XML and Soap ServiceProcessors will now default to UTF-8 for the response document. |
41737 | x | ||||||
| A new callback point "AfterSessionIdentified" has been added. | 42231 | x | x | x | x | Documentation | ||
| In previous versions, the field IP intranet mask on the
site settings was mandatory. This meant that you would always have
to specify a mask that would be checked when assigning roles that
was marked as IntranetOnly.
In this version, the field has been made optional - and in the installed database this field has been left blank. When the field is blank, all sessions will be regarded as coming from the intranet - and so all sessions can get the intranet only marked roles. This is done to avoid problems in the period where IP version 4 and 6 will coexist - as there is no common mask that will ensure that a the administration interface of a new installation will be accessible. |
42611 | x | x | x | x | |||
| In the Java servlet variant, a missing database connection on
the initial load of the servlet would lead to an attempt to write
an error to the database. This resulted in a loop.
The write to the database has been removed and the error is now reported in the J2EEProxy.log file instead. |
42150 | x | ||||||
| Site element properties - Administration interface, APIs, and a new option GetCurrentElement for ProcessEntryPoints. | 42729 | x | x | x | x | |||
| Handling errors from CreateWSDL.
In some cases errors from the CreateWSDL function was not handled correctly. Either a text was shown stating that an error had been written to the message log (which had not been done), or no error text was shown. The error handling has been improved so that a text is shown - and an error written to the log. |
42890 | x | x | x | ||||
| When calling APIServer.Surrogate.GetNextLocalSurrogate an error would be returned instead of a surrogate for the first call for a new TableName. | 43017 | x | ||||||
| Restrict variables for dynamic drop down was not mapped to BlockFetch call | 44323 | x | x | x | x | |||
| New option for grid pages: WSYD Control Grid Load.
