TLS Connections require Visual Studio Runtime
NetTalk 11 makes use of OpenSSL version 1.1.1.x for maximum security and protection for your program. This was compiled in Visual Studio 2017,
and so requires that the
Visual Studio 2017 (x86) runtime be installed on the target machine. Most desktop machines will have this installed
already, but servers, especially servers dedicated to your NetTalk WebServer app probably do not. You will need this installed on machines where you offer TLS
Client or Server connections.
Refresh Buttons and Global styles in Web Server procedure
If you have not customized your global styles, and global button settings, then this would be a good time to revert them to default values.
You can do this in the WebServer procedure by deleting all the buttons, (they scroll around - each deleted one is added to
the bottom of the list) and by using the
various Reset to Defaults checkboxes on the Styles tab.
jQuery-Mobile support removed
Support for jQuery-Mobile was added in NetTalk 6 and was really
helpful in allowing apps to work well on small screens. However with
the support added in NetTalk 10 for responsive pages the need for a
second client-side framework was removed and the feature was
deprecated. In NetTalk 11 support for jQuery-Mobile has been removed
from template set. This simplifies a lot of code, and also reduces
some clutter on the template windows.
The following
properties and methods have been removed from the classes. If you
are using these in your embed code then you can remove usage of them
there.
| type | NetWebMobileGroup |
| button property | MobileIcon |
| button property | MobileText |
| property | HtmlCommonStylesMobile |
| property | HtmlCommonScriptsMobile |
| property | GoogleFontsMobile |
| property | Mobile |
| method | _SetMobile |
| method | SetMobileBasedOnSize |
| method | SetMobileBasedOnAgent |
| method | IsMobile |
jQuery UI Updated
The jQuery UI library has been updated from build 1.10.4 to 1.12.4. This has several implications as far as themes goes.
- Shipping themes have been updated
- The old theme\whatever\jquery-ui.css
file has been removed, and replaced with
theme\whatever\jquery-ui.theme.css. In addition
jquery-ui.structure.css has been added
to the \web\styles folder.
- If you have a custom ThemeRoller theme, then open the old
jquery-ui.css file, and go to the link
noted at the top of the file (typically line 4). This will put your
theme back into ThemeRoller, and from there you can download the
1.12.4 version of the theme. From the download copy
jquery-ui.theme.css to your theme
folder.
- The \theme\whatever\nettalk-ui.css
file has also been updated so that it contains most (or all) of the
colors declared elsewhere in the styles. This makes it easier to
edit the colors for a theme in one place. See the top of this file
for setting the preferred font for your app as well.
Methods Removed
_divHeader and _divFooter deprecated methods have been removed. Use DivHeader and DivFooter instead.
Auto-Select Rest Parameter Removed
In NetTalk 10 a REST parameter is selected as;
- The specified REST parameter is used (if it exists) else
- The Primary Key Field of the first Table parameter is used (if it exists) else
- The first non-table parameter is used as the REST parameter.
This can lead to some strange effects because the first parameter could be an unusual type for this.
So from NetTalk 11 the 3rd step above is removed.
If no
REST parameter is specified, and no Table is used, then there is no REST parameter.
