    • Delay full page transparent DIV from appearing until dragging has started, so that mouse clicks can be detected within DragHandle when drag sensitivity > 0. Thanks, Tom Stamm!
    • No more window scrollbars due to client window having been resized after the first user drag operation. Thanks, jwwagner!
    • Fix for issue 106 - VetoDragException from onPreviewDragStart() can prevent all future dragging. Thanks, swilber!
    • Fixed capturing overlay widget size: window / browser viewport size -> full document / page size
    • Better fix for issue 29 - Dragged widget not following fast drag over IFrame. Thanks, paulisio!
    • Fix for issue 123 - Cannot drag >2 proxy items to the end of panel using AbstractInsertPanelDropController. Thanks, cknowles!
    • Prevent NullPointerException when effective style is null. Thanks, Carl!
  • New in this release
    • Draggables (or their DragHandles), no longer need to implement MouseOutHandler, MouseMoveHandler and MouseUpHandler. Thanks, bblain7!
      • It's easier to construct a draggable or DragHandle since you only need to implement MouseDownHandler.
      • Your browser will no longer be unnecessarily firing mouse events when your mouse moves over draggables and you are not dragging.
    • Issue 64 - Add touch support (single finger dragging) for mobile webkit devices (Android, iOS). Draggables (or their DragHandles) may implement HasMouseDownHandlers and/or HasTouchStartHandlers in order to be draggable by mouse and touch events respectively. Thanks, me3xik!
  • Other changes in this release
    • UncaughtExceptionHandler popup in sample code should not steal keyboard events, e.g. CMD-R/CTRL-R to refresh page.
    • Issue 134 - MouseDragHandler#onMouseDown fails faster for multiple mouse clicks (or touches) on the same draggable. Thanks, Lars.Grammel!
    • Updates for GWT 2.1, e.g. replaced deprecated DeferredCommand with Scheduler

What's new in gwt-dnd-3.0.1.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for issue 100. No longer obfuscate dragdrop-positioner and dragdrop-draggable CSS stylenames. Thanks christoph.dietze!
    • Fix for assertion error in AbsolutePositionDropController on drag after a vetoed drag which involved a drag proxy. Thanks chi at chi.ca!
  • Other changes in this release
    • Prevent gwt-dnd complaining about lack of position:relative (GWT issue 1813) in IE standards mode when boundary panel is RootPanel.get() because IE says offset parent is HTML element but parent in BODY element
    • Warn that PopupPanel and its subclasses are not really draggable
    • Remove IE6 IFRAME workaround as it no longer appears to be a problem. In practice, IFRAME dragging behaves differently accross browsers, and so this was fairly useless anyway
    • Remove @Strict annotation now that it is the default and deprecated
    • Improve ant build prompts

What's new in gwt-dnd-3.0.0.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for issue 92 When opening the context menu while dragging a DragProxy, the dragging doesn't work after releasing both mouse buttons. Thanks kacper.grubalski!
    • Fix for issue 73 Dragging a widget with drag handle clears the selection. Thanks phillip.walter!
    • Fix for issue 83 index panel drop restoring widgets to the wrong position when a VetoDragException is thrown to prevent the drop. Thanks jimblackler!
    • Fix for issue 29 (Dragged Widget Not Following Fast Drag Over Iframe). Thanks kaaloo!
    • Fix for issue 81 (Problems using a DnD boundary panel within a scroll panel) items 1 and 3. Due to scrollIntoView(), developer driven changes and user scrolling, gwt-dnd will call resetCache() in PickupDragController for each mouse movement if it has been at least 100ms since the last resetCache(). Thanks [email protected]!
    • Fix for issue 80 item 1, draggables contained inside other draggables cannot be separated if the draggables use separate drag controllers (and thus separate MouseDragHandlers). This is a more general issue comparable to issue 65 (dragStartSensitivity > 0 causes draggable droptargets to "fuse" together) which involved only a single drag controller. Thanks [email protected]!
    • Fix for issue 80 item #2. Global sorting of drop target candidates incorrect due to naive compareTo() implementation. Thanks ma!
    • Fix for issue 79; TEXTAREA in WindowExample not editable when clicked in some browsers. Also prevent TextArea in WindowExample from growing with each click on Chrome. Thanks mw!
    • Fix for overly aggressive clipping of WidgetArea when offsetParent(s) effectively have 'overflow:visible'. Thanks Dominik Steiner!
    • Fix for gwt-mosaic issue 59 and gwt-dnd issue 84 to prevent drag handle widgets from jumping when drag sensitivity > 0 by ensuring that context.desiredDraggableX/Y is correct when the first dragMove() call is made. Thanks [email protected], georgopoulos.georgios, [email protected]!
    • Fix for issue 53 - Demo 6 Uncaught Exception. Thanks bblain7!
  • New features
    • New DragController methods getBehaviorScrollIntoView() and setBehaviorScrollIntoView().
    • Issue 85 - LocationWidgetComparator is now an interface. Thanks [email protected]!
    • Issue 82 - new PickupDragController method getSelectedWidgets(). Thanks bblain7!
    • Deprecating InsertPanelDropController in favor if new VerticalPanelDropController and HorizontalPanelDropController
    • New PickupDragController method unregisterDropControllers(). Thanks [email protected]!
  • Changes in this release
    • In the InsertPanelExample demo replace NoInsertAtEndInsertPanelDropController solution with VerticalPanelWithSpacer solution.
    • Removed unnecessary code. Thanks 4ruggi!
    • Deprecated IndexedDropController and AbstractIndexedDropController.
    • Code cleanup now the GWT issue 1112 provides an InsertPanel interface.
      • IndexedPanel -> InsertPanel
      • IndexedDropController -> InsertPanelDropController
      • AbstractIndexedDropController -> AbstractInsertPanelDropController
    • Ant build changes
    • Use the last selected widget (when multiple widgets are selected) as the scrollIntoView() widget. This improves scrolling since the last selected widget is the widget under the mouse cursor.
    • No longer warn for zero height drop targets; too many valid reasons for this to be the case, e.g. widgets hidden in a DeckPanel
    • Add additional debug colors in DropControllerCollection when DOMUtil.DEBUG = true (for those of you hacking gwt-dnd source)
    • Removed performance workaround for Firefox on Linux
    • gwt-dnd.css is now injected via ClientBundle rather than requiring an extra HTTP roundtrip
    • Addressed Issue 69 - DeferredMoveCommand may cause unexpected problems when trying to access native events. Thanks mark.renouf!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.6.5.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for widgets which have a non-zero offsetLeft or offsetTop (due to another widget with the same offset parent) with a scrolling offset parent. Thanks Pierre-Emmanuel!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.6.4.jar

  • Changes in this release
    • Provide automatic scrollIntoView() in the AbsolutePositionDropController which provides the automatic scrolling of scroll panels which most people need.
    • Add deferred binding property for GWT's new user-agent value ie8
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for issue 65 (dragStartSensitivity > 0 causes draggable droptargets to "fuse" together). Thanks hansson!
    • Fix for issue 59 (MouseDragHandler: Incorrect mouse position in context, when dragStartSensitivity > 0). Thanks mark.renouf!
    • Fix for issue 56 (Able to drag widgets onto portion of drop target that is outside of ScrollPanel's viewport), which is a regression of issue 24 (multiple draggables inside scroll panels overlap). Thanks jeremiah.boyle! Issue 24 wasn't fixed properly and was thus eventually reverted in r744 and r828 because of an issue identified by markwmccall.
    • Fix for issue 71 - scrolling of boundary panel causes widget drag position to be off by scrolled amount. Thanks Fabrice!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.6.2.jar

  • Changes in this version
    • GWT 1.6 support, i.e.
      • GWT 1.5 Listeners -> GWT 1.6 Handlers
      • Launches: GWTShell -> HostedMode
      • Better use of 1.6 project / war structure
      • Refactored project for new eclipse plugin
  • Bug Fixes
    • Issue 55 - Dragging does not work if client code calls RootPanel.get().clear(). Thanks david.nouls!
    • Removed zero height check for boundary panels that are (non-BODY) AbsolutePanels as the existing test is not reliable in IE as confirmed by DualListBoxExample. Thanks max.tomlinson!
  • Other updates

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.6.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removing final scroll panel workarounds which have been obsoleted by recent GWT 1.5 coordinate system fixes. Thanks Carolin Nolte!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.5.jar

  • Useful hosted mode checks that tend to bite a lot of developers
    • Add boundary panel clientHeight == 0 check in hosted mode, mostly to catch standards rendering mode BODY client height == 0
    • Add hosted mode check for GWT issue 1813 RootPanel.get("id") does not apply position: relative to element

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.4.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for issue 45, correcting problems with draggable images in IE when drag sensitivity > 5. Thanks Tim Valenzuela!
  • Other updates
    • Corrected exception message in PickupDragController#saveSelectedWidgetsLocationAndStyle(), as reported in issue 41. Thanks ToonTalk!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.3.jar

  • Bug Fixes

    • Correctly handle VetoDragException in onPreviewDragStart(). Thanks yogesh17.patel!
    • Correct ScrollPanel offsets for drop target inside a split panel. Thanks Markus (coware.de)!
    • Fixed width of spacer in IndexedPanelExample demo so you can more easily drop on an "empty" column. Thanks Vitaly.Sazanovich!

  • API additions

    • Added DragController#getBehaviorCancelDocumentSelections and DragController#setBehaviorCancelDocumentSelections

  • Other updates

    • Add history token support to demo

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.2.jar

    • Corrected handling of ScrollPanel calculations for indexed panels. If you wrap your drop targets in scroll panels, this fix is for you. Thanks markwmccall!

  • Other updates

    • Ant build script fixes. Thanks A.A.Vasiljev!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.5.0.jar

  • Changes in this release

    • Java 1.5 / GWT 1.5 support
    • Removed previously deprecated methods

  • Bug Fixes

    • FlowPanelDropController, with a PickupDragController and no drag proxy, dragging a widget to the same FlowPanel that it started in. If you then throw a VetoDragException from a FlowPanelDropController the widgets are restored to the wrong location. Thanks dunhamsteve!
    • Issue 24: Scroll panels (actually any offset parent elements are now taken into account when considering drop target intersection with the mouse cursor.
    • When dragging quickly with non-zero drag sensitivity, drag may not start until mouse later wandered back over widget. Thanks amralam!
    • Once multiple widgets have been selected, clicking on one, without the CTRL/meta key, removed the remaining widget, if an AbstractIndexedDropController was in use. Thanks bosco!
    • Dragging multiple widgets from a flow or indexed panel, caused them to be dragged with incorrect relative positions. Thanks bosco!
    • Indexed panel draggable swapping positions with next widget at the start of a drag. Thanks aholub & bosco!

  • Other updates

    • Ant build changes. Thanks janek.bogucki!

    • Added a NOTICE file; See this project's Apache 2.0 License for what this means if you want to redistribute gwt-dnd

    • Removed workarounds for issues resolved in the 1.5 milestone

    • Javadoc updates

    • Optional debug code for DOMUtil#findIntersect, which can be enabled by setting DOMUtil.DEBUG to true

      public static final boolean DEBUG = true;

    • Minor updates to online demos

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.0.7.jar

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed drop target eligibility sorting, especially for more complex client applications, especially if your application has a mixture of drop targets that have ancestor/descendant DOM relationships, and drop targets that do not
    • Workaround to prevent the occasional "Unknown runtime error" in IE at the start of a drag
    • DragEndEvent#getDropTarget() would throw NullPointerException when referenced from DragHandler#onDragEnd(). Thanks sfranciscus!

  • Changes in this release

    • Drag Handlers will now have onPreviewDragEnd() called, even if a drop controller already vetoed the drag operation
    • Drag handlers will now see the same DragEndEvent instance in onPreviewDragEnd() and onDragEnd(), and the same DragStartEvent instance in onPreviewDragStart() and onDragStart()
    • Cleaned up DragEndEvent#toString() and DragStartEvent#toString() output
    • CSS margin: 0px is now always set during dragging so that stylesheet based margins are also overridden; previously only margins set explicitly on the DOM element would be overridden
    • context.draggable is now reset to null after drag operations end
    • DragController#resetCache() may now be called when no drag is currently underway, allowing for simplified client code in some use cases

  • Other updates

    • New PaletteExample demo
    • Implementation changes, moved some cleanup code from MouseDragHandler to DragContext
    • Modified implementation of DragHandlerCollection
    • Updated ant build file and other Eclipse project files

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.0.5.jar

  • Bug Fixes

    • Issue 21 Mac users can use the option/meta key for multi-select. Thanks binduwavell!

  • Changes in this version

    • AbstractIndexedDropController#newPositioner(DragContext) access changed from default to protected to allow subclasses to override the default implementation. Thanks martijn.spronk!

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.0.4.jar

  • Changes in this version
    • Rebuilt jar file to target JDK 1.4 (Java *.class file version 48.0). Previous jar was inadvertently packaged with version 50.0 (Java 6) *.class files.

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.0.3.jar

  • Changes in this version

    • The AbstractDragController constructor no longer accepts null as a value for the boundaryPanel parameter. Client code must instead pass in RootPanel.get() explicitly. Tis is actually a documentation change, as null did not work in gwt-dnd 2.0.2 either.
    • The current gwt-dnd version is available via $GWT_DND_VERSION, once the gwt-dnd classes have been (statically) initialized. This also means you can grep the JavaScript compiled output for GWT_DND_VERSION.
    • Added two !important CSS rules for the HTML element, HTML { margin: 0px !important; border: none !important; }, as a workaround for GWT Issue 1932.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected dragging positions when the document BODY (RootPanel.get()) has non-zero CSS margins/borders and is used as the drag controller boundary panel.

What's new in gwt-dnd-2.0.2.jar

  • Feature Highlights

    • Select multiple widgets for dragging via CTRL/META-click. Use DragController#setBehaviorMultipleSelection(true) to enable this functionality.
    • Drop target selection and drop positioning are based on the current mouse location rather than current draggable location/center. This has been much requested, and makes gwt-dnd more consistent with traditional desktop drag-and-drop behavior.
    • Drag behavior is more configurable.
    • An updated API (to support the above).

  • API Considerations

    • If you are starting a new project, please use the latest gwt-dnd 2.x APIs so that you benefit from all the latest features and fixes.
    • If you have an existing project using gwt-dnd 1.x, you may wish to remain on gwt-dnd 1.x until you have a pressing need to migrate to gwt-dnd 2.x, such as the requirement to be able to drag multiple widgets at once.
    • If you plan on migrating from 1.x to 2.x, please see the APIMigrationGuide_v1_to_v2 wiki for details.

  • Bug Fixes

    • As a workaround for a bug that causes IE6 to crash, mouse events are internally tracked on a separate capturing widget, rather than on the panel being dragged.

What's New in gwt-dragdrop-1.2.6.jar

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fix for Error: TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR: DOM Exception 17 with Safari 3.0.4 (5523.10) on Mac OS X Version 10.5 (Leopard). This was caused by the code to cancel the current text selection at the start of each drag operation.

What's New in gwt-dragdrop-1.2.5.jar

  • Bug Fixes

    • When two draggables were in close proximity one could sometimes mouse down on one widget, but move quickly enough that the second widget received the first mouse move event. This would cause the second widget to be dragged instead of the first. Fixed so that the widget on which you mouse down is always the one that is dragged.

  • New Features

    • While the positioner (usually the dashed light blue rectangle) was always constrained to the boundary panel, the draggable or its drag proxy could be dragged outside of these borders. One can now call DragController#setConstrainWidgetToBoundaryPanel(true) to change this behavior.

  • Other Changes

    • Eligible drop targets are once again sorted based on their relationship in the DOM, rather than on their relative size, this time using the suggestion in GWT issue 1218.
    • Demo classes no longer depend on gwt-log as this was throwing a few too many people off. A light weight replacement UnCaughtExceptionHandler is used instead.
    • Some of the online demos have been updated

  • Other Changes from earlier releases

    • See the git commit log for all the details. Thanks Conzar, Michael Speth and Stephen Sanders of opnet.com, fameeda.tamboli (synerzip.com), buelltm, jonathan.dudley, jsjenkins168, iamroberthanson, rohitsghatol, ryan.detert, Peter.Dobratz, mwaschkowski, Marcos, matt.andruff, skaflotten, Peter.Dobratz, matthiasthoma, boscomonkey and Mario Zenadocchio!

What's New in gwt-dragdrop-1.2.4.jar
