PrimeFaces 7.0-Final Released

PrimeFaces 7.0-Final Released

PrimeTek is thrilled to announce the 7.0-Final released of PrimeFaces featuring over 500 improvements, new modern free themes, font icons, new components, better performance, various enhancements on accessibility and security.

Security

A more secure PrimeFaces has been one of the primary goals of 7.0 which now brings integration with owasp encoder. Additionally components such as FileUpload has received special treatment for more secure uploads.

New Themes

Nova and Luna are now available as the default options to replace the older themes to modernize the look and feel of PrimeFaces. Icons also have been updated to PrimeIcons to utilize our very own font icon library.

DatePicker

PrimeNG and PrimeReact have their own datepicker implementation whereas PrimeFaces was using jQuery UI Datepicker which was very limiting. The new datepicker component is written from scratch to provide various new options like range and multiple selection.

ChartJS

Existing jqPlot charts are deprecated in favor of the new ChartJS based components that are also used in PrimeNG and PrimeReact.

PrimeFlex

Flex Grid CSS is a lightweight flex based responsive layout utility optimized for mobile phones, tablets and desktops. Flex Grid CSS is not included in PrimeFaces as it is provided by PrimeFlex, a shared grid library between PrimeFaces, PrimeNG and PrimeReact projects.

New Components

DataView, ToggleSwitch and LinkButton are the new members of the suite. DataView combines DataList and DataGrid whereas ToggleSwitch will replace InputSwitch.

Accessibility

Various components have been enhanced for accessibility related to keyboard support and screen readers.

Push and Mobile

Push and Mobile were deprecated in previous release, with 7.0 they are removed.

New Documentation

Documentation has been moved to online at GitHub which is far more superior than the old PDF based document.

API and VDL docs are also available online for 7.0.

Download

PrimeFaces 7.0 is now available for download at Maven Central.
