Stadium 5.13.2527

Release Notes
1

New features:

  • No more BETA
    Stadium has moved out of beta and the first official version is here! Together with this comes a brand new Stadium website and icon. Head over to the website to take a look at it!

  • Hosted Stadium Servers
    Buy a dedicated Stadium Server hosted by us and simply press ‘Publish’ to take your application live - available to the world.

  • Code Snippets
    Our Expression Editor has been redesigned. It now includes ‘Code Snippets’ making it easy to build an expression even if you are not familiar with JavaScript syntax.

  • Preview
    Preview your application locally without having to publish it to the Stadium Server.

  • Secure Sites
    All sites, including the generated sites, have been changed to use https.

  • Profile icon
    The Administration link (found in the bottom left corner of a generated application) was changed to a ‘Profile’ icon located at the top right corner of the page.

  • JSON is now case-sensitive
    Stadium used case-sensitive and case-insensitive JSON interchangeably without any specific rule as to which was used when. To avoid any confusion, we changed Stadium to only use case-sensitive JSON - the default used by JavaScript, as well as what is defined in the JSON RPC spec. Please ensure that any existing calls to the User API of an already generated application take this change into account.

  • DataGrid Quick Help
    The small DataGrid Quick Help popup had proved to be difficult to understand and not very helpful to users of a Stadium application. We replaced this with a link taking you to a separate webpage where we have more room to display detailed information on how to search within the DataGrid.
