What’s coming in September

Hi everyone,

We first want to thanks everybody for your feedback on Eskimo. You gave us good advices on how to improve the library. For those that have not already given their feedback, you can use our uservoice.

We already took into account some of your remarks. Today we want to show you what will be available in the next release, coming in middle of September.

Fix

  • Compatibility with BlackBerry PlayBook: All components are now working on the playbook.
  • Deletable list: We had an issue on scrolling, when the list was on editable mode.
  • List Wheel: We optimized the list wheel.
  • DateChooser iOs: We optimized the date chooser for iOs.
  • ComboBox: We added the prompt property.

New features

  • SplitView Application: It is a pattern that you can use on Tablet Application. On landscape orientation you have two panes. A small one on the left, allowing to display a list of items. A large one on the right allowing to display the details of selected item on the left. On portrait orientation, the left pane disappears. It’s available on a popOver when you click on a button of the actionBar.
  • Google Map: The AS3 Google Map API does not works for mobile. We made a full flex usable component that encapsulate the javascript api.
  • Toast notification: This is an android pattern. A toast notification is a message that pops up on the surface of the window. It automatically fades in and out.
  • Grouped list: A list that allows you to group items. For exemple if you want to display a contact list, you want to group items by the first letter of the name.
  • Carousel: A simple carousel optimized for mobile usage.

We invite you to take a look at the demo of the Split View Application and the Google Map Component



We hope you enjoyed it, stay tuned.
