• Allow null response in logout (#20057)
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  Don't throw NullPointerException in case of null VaadinServletResponse in AuthenticationContext#logout. Tolerate null response better in case when running with @Push(transport = Transport.WEBSOCKET), or when response is null for some other reason. Makes logout also work in WEBSOCKET mode by automatically switching to WEBSOCKET_XHR for one additional request that executes logout.

• Wait for output reading to complete before parsing version (#19921)

  NodeInstall.getVersion currently does not block waiting for STDOUT and STDERR to be read completely. This causes random failure during node installation because of forcing an empty version. This change waits for future to complete before parsing the version value.

  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  VaadinSession references are registered in Hotswapper in a session init listener. However, the listener might not always been invoked, for example if the HTTP session is serialized and deserialized on server restart. This change registers a UI init listener to make sure VaadinSession reference is also registered for existing sessions.

• Flow components as children for React-based component
  Doc · Commit · Pull request · Issue

  Allows having Flow Components as children in a ReactAdapterComponent (Flow wrapper for React component).

• HotSwap improvements

  Provides a single endpoint for hotswap tools that internally chooses the best strategy of UI update - full page reload or UI component reload.

  Includes the following commits:

  • API for reloading current route target
    Commit · Pull request

  • Add a common API to integrate with hotswap tools
    Commit · Pull request

• Add alternative translate methods to I18NProvider
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  Adds static I18NProvider#translate methods for alternative way to get translation. Compares to calling getTranslation via VaadinService.getCurrent().getInstantiator().getI18NProvider(). translate methods throws IllegalStateException without active VaadinService.

• Speedup startup time by excluding jars
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  Optimize class scanning of VaadinServletContextInitializer by excluding some commonly used jars and add support for vaadin.blocked-jar boolean property in META-INF/VAADIN/package.properties to exclude whole jar content from the class scanner.

• Added HasLabelAsText interface to NativeButtonElement.
  Commit · Pull request

• Filterable class scanning of JAR
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  This change improves optimization of class scanning of VaadinServletContextInitializer by reading optional configuration file within a JAR dependency. Configuration file is a regular properties file that can contain vaadin.allowed-packages or vaadin.blocked-packages to exclude/include packages being scanned by VaadinServletContextInitializer. Package exclusion/inclusion effects only classes in the JAR/module where META-INF/VAADIN/package.properties is located at. Notice that this is only affecting the performance of the class scanning of Vaadin specific annotations and types and this feature is not meant to be used for excluding packages from the whole application. E.g. excluding VaadinServiceInitListener in a Spring application is not stopping Spring and Vaadin initializing it anyway, although some time-consuming actions like DevModeServletContextListener would still exclude it for optimization.

• Add raw html table and related components
  Commit · Pull request

• Create converters for numeric values from NumberField
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  This pull request introduces converter classes which converts between Numeric data types. This change addresses the need for such converters as outlined in issue #5134. With the availability of a NumberField in Vaadin, it is essential to have converters that facilitate the use of various number formats with this component.

  Commit · Pull request

  Commit · Pull request

  Gets or computes an application identifier during production build and store it into flow-build-info.json.

• Refresh browser using dev-tools connection
  Commit · Pull request

• Reset the Premium Features flag before license checking
  Commit · Pull request

  The pre-compiled production bundle comes with true value of this flag always, because Vaadin CI server has a sub that enables it. Thus, Flow need to reset this flag before it calls the license server.
