[BETA] Patch PE84-2507280 (download directory)

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.3

New functionality:

  • eloqwebd2.app: Added the $uri token to resolve the WebSocket request URI when the application is started. This does not include a query string if present in the original request URI.

  • eloqwebd2.app: Added the $http(HEADERNAME) token to resolve the value of a WebSocket request header when the application is started. The specified HEADERNAME is case-insensitive.

  • The WebSocket application URI is now relative to the start document. For example, assuming an URI [/app] Handler=App configuration, the WebSocket application URI would then be like: /app/APPLICATION.

    This simplifies the configuration of reverse proxy redirection rules for WEBDLG2.

    Please note that the document and the eq-webdlg.js script need to share the same origin, otherwise a toplevel application URI is used, eg.: /APPLICATION

    A path= query string argument may be set for the eq-webdlg.js script to specify a different WebSocket application URI path.

Fixed problems:

[BETA] Patch PE84-2507110 (superseded)

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.2

Fixed problems:

  • ListBox: Fixed incrementally selected line not reported to application, fixed incrementally selected line not scrolled into view.

  • ListBox, PopText: Fixed incremental selection on entries with leading spaces.

[BETA] Patch PE84-2507070 (superseded)

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.2

New functionality:

  • ComboBox, EditText: The clipboard menu is now functional.

    The clipboard menu opens when clicking the secondary mouse button (or tap-holding / long pressing on touch user interfaces) unless it is disabled.

    The strings configuration has been updated to define the default text of the clipboard menu labels:

    clipboardMenu : "&Undo|Cu&t|&Copy|&Paste|&Delete|Select &All"
    

    This may be overriden with a customized eq.strings() configuration.

    Alternatively, the Application.clipboardcontextmenu attribute or the common clipboardcontextmenu attribute may be set. If set to "off" the clipboard menu is disabled. Setting this on a Dialog or a GroupBox affects all contained ComboBox and EditText objects.

    Please note that clipboard access is typically restricted:

    • The web browser allows to access the clipboard only in a secure context (HTTPS).
    • Using the Cut/Copy/Paste clipboard menu options may cause the browser to request permission or confirmation by the user.

  • ListBox, PopText: Entries can now be incrementally selected by typing the leading character. On multi-column ListBoxes this affects the first visible column (i.e., the leftmost column).

  • eloqwebd2.cfg: The new J log flag has been added.

    If set to L_DEBUG (2) any client-side JavaScript error messages are written to the eloqwebd2 log file. For example, set LogFlags=*1J2 to enable regular log messages and client-side JavaScript errors.

Fixed problems:

  • ListBox: Fixed column context menu, now opens on the secondary mouse button regardless of how the rmbmask attribute is set.

Intermediate patch, do not use.

Eloquence B.08.40 2501-5

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.1

Fixed problems:

  • eloqwebd2.uri: Fixed a potential problem related to URI Deny access rules, causing the eloqwebd2 process to abort during startup with a log message like below:
    Assertion failed: type == 2
    server panic: Aborting on internal failure, file config.c, line 3978

  • Fixed a potential segmentation fault following a protocol failure during application initialization. The DLG session cleanup could not handle an incomplete plugin list. This could cause the eloqwebd2 process to abort with a log message like below:
    server panic: Aborting on internal failure, file webd.c, line 974

  • Fixed tap-hold / long press did not reliably trigger context menus on mobile devices.

  • HTTP protocol: The Server HTTP response header is no longer sent due to security considerations.

  • Fixed potential 'mainReceived invalidate: DLG … does not exist' JavaScript exception when the eloqwebd2.app Layout configuration is set to inline or inline max.

    This JavaScript exception does not affect the functionality of the application.

  • Fixed potential visual flicker observed when the eloqwebd2.app Layout configuration is set to inline dialog or inline max dialog.

  • ComboBox: Double-clicking a ComboBox list entry now triggers a rule submission.

  • ComboBox: Fixed matching list entry not selected when the list is updated while the ComboBox is focused and the list is open.

  • ComboBox: Fixed selected list entry not deselected when the content is user-edited.

  • Dialog: Fixed vcrule attribute stopped working when a different Dialog becomes active.

  • Revised the visual appearance of focused Dialog objects.

  • Fixed various visual issues that occurred primarily on newer Safari browser versions, but also on mobile browsers based on Chromium engine.

Eloquence B.08.40 2501-4

Eloquence B.08.40 2501-2

  • See also: Eloquence B.08.30 WEBDLG2 patch PE83-2502040

Eloquence B.08.40 2501-1

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.1

New functionality:

  • eloqwebd2.cfg: The HttpProxyHeader configuration has been added.

    Specifies the HTTP header used to set the user's client address if the connection is routed through a reverse proxy.

  • eloqsd protocol: The user's client address is now logged in case of a protocol status such as a failed authentication.

  • The login dialog customization has been simplified. The eq-login-dialog CSS class name is no longer set implicitly, a custom CSS class name may now be set without side effects.

Fixed problems:

Eloquence B.08.40 2409-1

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.0

New functionality:

  • eloqwebd2.cfg: Added the CookieMaxAge configuration to specify how long the user's web browser can be identified, allowing to recognize cached login credentials even after the associated web browser has been closed and later reopened.

  • Added support for inline custom login dialog.

  • eloqwebd2.app: Added the $session token, for example to pass the WEBDLG2 session identifier to an environment variable or to use it in the eloquence trace file name.

Fixed problems:

  • Fixed a regression introduced with previous version 2407-1 where the Filetransfer plugin example failed with a JavaScript client error: 'this.constructor.onUpdateReturn is not a function'

  • See also: Eloquence B.08.30 WEBDLG2 patch PE83-2409200

Eloquence B.08.40 2407-1

WEBDLG2 version: 2.1.0

New functionality:

  • Eloquence B.08.40 WEBDLG2 now supports both desktop and mobile applications by implementing pointer events. All kinds of input devices (mouse, touch, pen/stylus) are now handled as expected, including context menus (triggered by a tap-hold / long press).

  • The System.clipboard attribute is now supported.

    Please note that the web browser typically limits access to the Clipboard API. In particular:

    • The Clipboard may be accessible in secure context (HTTPS) only.
    • DLG SET "System.clipboard" may cause the browser to request permission by the user.
    • DLG GET "System.clipboard" may be denied by the browser for security reasons, or may require user permission.

  • The System.screenheight and screenwidth attributes are now supported.

    Portrait mode screen orientation is assumed when the screen height is greater than the width. Landscape mode is assumed when the width is greater than the height.

  • New attribute: Dialog.vcrule : integer, get/set

    If nonzero, the vcrule value is returned to the program, along with the path of the Dialog object, when the screen size or the display orientation has changed (e.g. from portrait mode to landscape mode or vice versa).

  • The login dialog may now be customized.

  • Browser support for Microsoft Internet Explorer has been removed.
