Upgrade Notes
-
The namespace of XUL component set is renamed to
http://www.potix.com/2005/zul
(instead of http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul ).
-
Page.getDefinition is removed, so it can be serialized.
-
Page.recreate is removed, since we don't store PageDefinition
in page any more.
-
Component.getDefintion is removed, so it can be serialized.
-
Component.getDesktop returns null until it is added to a desktop.
In other words, it is null in the contructor. It also implies you cannot
set the attribute to the desktop scope in the contructor.
