ZK 8.5.1 release notes

PE/EE Released on Mar. 6, 2018


ZK 8.5.1 is an updated release for ZK 8.5. 8.5.1 comes with 17 new features and 41 bug fixes, such as better spring boot integration, better timezone support, and several security related upgrades.

ZK 8.5 is a major release that takes the best of ZK 8 and continues to push the innovation envelope. A major improvement on MVVM data binding at the client side enlivened pure HTML content with minimal effort. The Fragment component, in combination with Service workers, allows caching and managing offline user data and easier Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) building.

Please note that this version is released for PE/EE customers & ZOL users.
