TVC 2018.1.0 Release Information

1. Core

1.1. Caching Client Resources

TVCs now support caching of client resources (*.js, *.css, *.png) using Service Worker technology. As a result, these resources are served from client cache instead of making network requests. By default, this feature is turned off.

1.2. Simplified Logging of Variables

Often it’s desirable to include variables in the logged message. The string needs to the be constructed. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, String.format(), StringBuilder and pure string concatenation can be used. Ideally the string concatenation should only be done if the string actually will be written to the log files in order to improve performance. Logging statements are therefore wrapped in if statements checking if the log level is set to for instance debug.

An alternate approach is to use this signature:

void logger.debug(String format, Object... args);

The first parameter contains the format of the string to log. Use {} in the string to indicate where to insert variables. Variables are supplied as varargs. Make sure that the number of occurrences of {} matches the number of supplied variables.

This makes it possible to transform code looking like:

if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
    logger.debug(String.format("Using custom request-processor '%s'", requestProcessorClass));
}

if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
    logger.debug("Loaded pagination range from user preferences: " + range);
}

Into this code:

logger.debug("Using custom request-processor '{}'", requestProcessorClass);
logger.debug("Loaded pagination range from user preferences: {}", range);

Equivalent methods are available for all log levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO and so on).

2. Structure Browser

2.1. Truncated Cell Content

The More Link, used when truncating cell content either to a fixed text length or automatically to fit the content of the cell, has been replaced with a tooltip. The tooltip will automatically appear on mouse over.
