Backward Compatibility

We’ve done our best to preserve backward compatibility, however there are some points that need to be migrated. See the migration guide for detailed information.

Roadmap

PrimeFaces 3.0 is only 50% done, next version will be 3.0.M2 which will bring almost all the new features of 3.0 including rewritten ajax push, enhancements on components and regular maintenance. After that we’ll do an M3 focusing on only maintenance, we aim to fix all the issues with type-defect in our issue tracker with this release. Following will be a release candidate and then 3.0 final. Tentative date of 3.0 final is early summer. 3.0 is an important milestone for PrimeFaces as it will mark the stability of the project, after 3.0 we don’t want to reimplement components, change the internals of PrimeFaces and focus on maintenance and implementation of feature requests from community.

Always bet on PrimeFaces!

    Nice work! :)

    Unfortunately, the “watermark” for my “password” element doesn’t work any more, because “_input” is automatically added to the “password” element’s ID, but not to it’s related “watermark” :(

    Any plans for incorporating the latest jquery-mobile fixes/updates into the PrimeFaces mobile functionality before the final release of 3.0?

    The migration guide is a nice touch. I’m glad you’re looking out for the users and keeping things somewhat backwards compatible.

    Once all the dust settles and you’ve conquered 3.0 then I guess the only thing left is performance tuning – like adding client side validation (which would run in addition to and short-circuit server side validation).

  18. cagataycivici says:
    April 12, 2011 at 7:38 am

    New Layout will be in 3.0.M2.

    after 3.0 we don’t want to reimplement components, change the internals of PrimeFaces and focus on maintenance and implementation of feature requests from community.

    ——————————-
    What this means? This project will discontinue after the 3.0 version is released.

    Hello.
    I’m very interested, do you have the plans to make any significant enhancement into the Datatable component for the Primefaces 3 release? Or it will be just necessary bug-fixing?

    File upload listener+ p:tab
    Hey i had met with a strange problem. File upload lisener works fine when the file upload component is used in first tab(the second tab contains another form to display something else.).But when the file upload component is used in second tab (the first tab contains something to display with a separate form) the listener is not at all being called.

    Primefaces version:3.0M1
    Glass fish: 3.0

    Jars used:Commons.fileupoad-1.2.2

    Here is my xhtml code

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;

                                  update="messages"
                                  sizeLimit="1000000"
                                  allowTypes="png,gif,jpg" />

    Please let me know what is my mistake. My demand is to use separate forms for every tabs.

    jQuery 1.6 was recently released. Now would be a great time to upgrade jQuery (again) before 3.0 becomes final! Excellent work on PrimeFaces!
