The new PEAR package HTML_QuickForm2-2.0.0RC1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Bug fixes * Server-side validation errors for elements inside Repeats are properly displayed * Javascript for Repeat elements moved to a more proper qf.elements.Repeat namespace, old qf.Repeat is kept as an alias but is deprecated * Fixed markup in usage examples (related to bug #19097) * Callback renderer now generates the same markup as Default renderer out of the box, this addresses bug #19097 and allows correct behaviour of client-side validation and Repeat elements Changes * HTML_QuickForm2::getValue() no longer returns values for internal form fields (request #19403) * It is no longer possible to set validation errors on hidden elements or create Rules that set such errors, doing this will result in an Exception * add() method of qf.elements.Repeat can accept an explicit index for a new item, returns the index for added item * Array Renderer: changes to buildCommonFields() make it easier to use by Renderer plugins, arrays built for groups contain 'class' attribute Backwards compatibility issues * Items marked deprecated will be removed in release 2.0.0 Package Info ------------ PHP5 rewrite of HTML_QuickForm and HTML_QuickForm_Controller packages.
