ZK 5.0.7
ZK 5.0.7 is a maintenance release focusing on fixing bugs and releasing new improved features for ZK components.
iPad improvements
ZK 5.0.7 brings with it improved support for the iPad's browser now supporting drag & drop functionality and the iPad's double click event on a widget by widget basis.
i18n improvements
ZK 5.0.7 has introduced two improvements, an easy way to access i18n labels from EL and an easier way to specify multiple property files for i18n labels.
Access i18n labels from EL
In ZK 5.0.7, an implicit object called labels has been introduced, enabling developers direct access to internationalization labels. For example, assume you have a label named app.title, you can access it as follows:
<window title="${labels.app.title}">
...
</window>
The labels object is a map (java.util.Map), so you can access the label directly by using labels.whatever in an EL expression. Moreover, as shown above, you can access the label even if a key is named as aa.bb.cc (a string containing dot), such as app.title in the above example.
For more information please see ZK's Developer's Reference.
