ActiveWidgets 2.5 includes major improvements in browser support, performance, visual themes, API and end-user functionality.
The new version works in all major browsers, including IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
The new implementation of the 'virtual scrolling' in the grid control allows 2x-3x faster initialization and scrolling. The performance improvement is especially noticeable in grids with the large number of columns (50-100) as the grid now renders only the cells in the visible area instead of the full row.
ActiveWidgets 2.5 also adds two new visual themes - 'vista' and 'system'. The 'system' theme combines vista, xp, aqua and classic themes into one package so that the theme appearance matches the current user operating system.
The grid control now supports copy/paste operations, has new navigation/selection api, allows using text indices for better handling of JSON datasets and many other improvements.
