This is the reference documentation
for <a href="https://www.webtoolkit.eu/jwt">JWt</a>.
<h1>Release notes</h1>
This page lists important notes on migrating existing applications to
newer version of JWt. It lists changes in the library that may break
the way you build JWt, the way you configure JWt or the JWt API and
behaviour. It also indicates the main changes from version to version.
<h2>Release 4.15.0 (October 28, 2026)</h2>
<dl class="section note">
<dt><strong>Vulnerability</strong></dt>
<dd>
Fixed the possibility to skip MFA when logging in via the register popup of the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthWidget.html" target="_blank">auth.AuthWidget</a> when registration is enabled (this is not the default). See
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14874" target="_blank">Issue #14874</a> for more details.
<br/>
We recommend anyone relying on MFA in jwt-auth to upgrade live deployments of his application to the latest version, or to disable
registration via the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthWidget.html#setRegistrationEnabled(boolean)" target="_blank">auth.AuthWidget.setRegistrationEnabled()</a>.
<br/>
Another option is to override the registration model in the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthWidget.html" target="_blank">auth.AuthWidget</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/RegistrationModel.html" target="_blank">auth.RegistrationModel</a> to ensure MFA cannot be bypassed.
For instance, this can be done by ensuring that
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthWidget.html#getCreateRegistrationModel()" target="_blank">auth.AuthWidget.getCreateRegistrationModel()</a> returns a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/RegistrationModel.html" target="_blank">auth.RegistrationModel</a> for which
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/RegistrationModel.html#getConfirmIsExistingUser()" target="_blank">auth.RegistrationModel.getConfirmIsExistingUser()</a>
never returns
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/IdentityConfirmationMethod.html#ConfirmWithPassword" target="_blank">auth.IdentityConfirmationMethod.ConfirmWithPassword</a>.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> By default, JWt will now use the Jakarta Servlet API instead of the javax Servlet API.
If your application still relies on the javax Servlet API, you will need to explicitly set the CLASSIFIER to `javax`
when calling the Makefile.
</p>
<p>JWt 4.15.0 is a major release that introduces the following new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/8759" target="_blank">Issue #8759</a>:
added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDateTimeEdit.html" target="_blank">WDateTimeEdit</a>.
This combines functionality used by
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDateEdit.html" target="_blank">WDateEdit</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTimeEdit.html" target="_blank">WTimeEdit</a>.
The native HTML5 input type for this widget is also supported, this being <code><input type="datetime-local"></code>.
You can enable it by setting
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDateTimeEdit.html#setNativeControl(boolean)" target="_blank">WDateTimeEdit.setNativeControl(true)</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14582" target="_blank">Issue #14582</a>:
added a way to reveal the password of a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPasswordEdit.html" target="_blank">WPasswordEdit</a>. The text can be shown or hidden with
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPasswordEdit.html#setTextVisible(boolean)" target="_blank">WPasswordEdit.setTextVisible()</a>, and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPasswordEdit.html#setRevealButtonEnabled(boolean)" target="_blank">WPasswordEdit.setRevealButtonEnabled()</a> adds an optional
button inside the field that lets the user toggle the visibility.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14162" target="_blank">Issue #14162</a>:
added support for the CSS content sizing keywords <code>fit-content</code>,
<code>max-content</code> and <code>min-content</code> to
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLength.html" target="_blank">WLength</a>. They are
available as
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/LengthUnit.html" target="_blank">LengthUnit</a>
values and can be parsed from a CSS string by the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLength.html#<init>(java.lang.String)" target="_blank">WLength string constructor</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14163" target="_blank">Issue #14163</a>:
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBoxLayout.html" target="_blank">WBoxLayout</a>
(<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WHBoxLayout.html" target="_blank">WHBoxLayout</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WVBoxLayout.html" target="_blank">WVBoxLayout</a>) now supports
resize handles through
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBoxLayout.html#setResizable(int,boolean,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WLength)" target="_blank">setResizable()</a> when using the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/LayoutImplementation.html#Flex" target="_blank">LayoutImplementation.Flex</a>
implementation. Previously enabling a resize handle forced the layout to fall back to the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/LayoutImplementation.html#JavaScript" target="_blank">LayoutImplementation.JavaScript</a>
implementation.
</li>
</ul>
<p>JWt 4.15.0 also fixes the following bugs:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14862" target="_blank">Issue #14862</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap</a>
not always showing the map correctly when inside a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WStackedWidget.html" target="_blank">WStackedWidget</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14701" target="_blank">Issue #14701</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTextEdit.html" target="_blank">WTextEdit</a> not emitting
inherited focus, keyboard, mouse, touch, and input signals when interacting
with the editor.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14606" target="_blank">Issue #14606</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WMenuItem.html#setContents(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WWidget,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.ContentLoading)" target="_blank">WMenuItem.setContents()</a>
changing the selected index of the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14758" target="_blank">Issue #14758</a>:
fixed a JavaScript exception when using the keyboard in a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPopupMenu.html" target="_blank">WPopupMenu</a>
with the Bootstrap 5 theme, including pressing Escape in submenus.
Popup menus now use the <code>Wt-dropdown-menu</code> CSS class to keep
JWt keyboard handling independent of native Bootstrap dropdowns.

<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14594" target="_blank">Issue #14594</a>:
changing a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> column's
alignment with
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WAbstractItemView.html#setColumnAlignment(int,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.AlignmentFlag)" target="_blank">WAbstractItemView.setColumnAlignment()</a>
after the initial render now updates the displayed cells immediately.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14772" target="_blank">Issue #14772</a>:
fixed dynamically added CSS rules sometimes being written into another
style element in the document instead of JWt's own inline style sheet,
potentially preventing the application from rendering.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14730" target="_blank">Issue #14730</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> focus selection
skipping footer buttons and failing to provide a focus fallback. When no
other visible, enabled descendant accepts focus, the dialog now focuses
its close icon, which supports keyboard activation, or the dialog itself
if no close icon is available.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14916" target="_blank">Issue #14916</a>:
fixed a deadlock that could happen when the server was shutting down while an unload signal was being processed.
</li>
</ul>
<p>JWt 4.15.0 also comes with the following improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14798" target="_blank">Issue #14798</a>:
deprecated the use of the javax Servlet API.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/7417" target="_blank">Issue #7417</a>:
HTML canvas rendering in
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPaintedWidget.html" target="_blank">WPaintedWidget</a>
now takes the browser's device pixel ratio into account. This makes painted
widgets, including charts, render more sharply on high-DPI displays.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14822" target="_blank">Issue #14822</a>:
Stop keeping track of focus changes on the server side by default as this was, most of the time,
unnecessary and did require additional client-server communication.
This can be re-enabled if needed with
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#setTrackFocus(boolean)" target="_blank">WApplication.setTrackFocus()</a>, which
also enables the use of the new
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#elementFocused()" target="_blank">WApplication.elementFocused()</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#elementBlurred()" target="_blank">WApplication.elementBlurred()</a> signals.
Those 2 new signals are emitted when an element receives or loses focus on the client side, respectively.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14729" target="_blank">Issue #14729</a>:
moved the handling of the focus change when hiding or removing popups to the client side.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14709" target="_blank">Issue #14709</a>:
JWt now uses the browser's Beacon API to deliver the unload signal more
reliably when a page or tab is closed, and falls back to the previous
mechanism when the Beacon API is unavailable.
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Release 4.14.0 (July 15, 2026)</h2>
<p>JWt 4.14.0 is a major release that introduces the following new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13788" target="_blank">Issue #13788</a>:
added color mode support to
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTheme.html" target="_blank">WTheme</a>. This is mainly relevant for
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a>, which introduced this concept to support
dark and light mode.
The color mode can be changed using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTheme.html#setColorMode(java.lang.String)" target="_blank">WTheme.setColorMode()</a>. Note that you will have
to override this function if you want other themes than
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a> to support color modes. Some changes to
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a> custom css for wt have also be made to support
dark mode.
It is also possible to react to color mode changes by connecting to the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#themeColorModeChanged()" target="_blank">WApplication.themeColorModeChanged()</a> signal and
to check the preferred color scheme of the client using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WEnvironment.html#getPreferredColorScheme()" target="_blank">WEnvironment.getPreferredColorScheme()</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14047" target="_blank">Issue #14047</a>:
added the possibility to define an endpoint to which Content Security Policy (CSP) violation reports are sent by the browser.
This can be configured using the <code>debug-csp</code> and <code>csp-debug-endpoint</code> configuration options in the
<code>jwt_config.xml</code> file. Note that this does not requires <code>use-script-nonce</code> to be set to <code>true</code>,
allowing you to debug CSP issues without breaking your application by enforcing it.
Additionally,
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WCspErrorLogger.html" target="_blank">WCspErrorLogger</a> was added to facilitate logging of CSP
violation reports. This new
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WResource.html" target="_blank">WResource</a> can be used to log CSP violations
reported by the browser. You can also create your own
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WResource.html" target="_blank">WResource</a> to handle the reports.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14494" target="_blank">Issue #14494</a>:
added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WWidget.html#anchorAt(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WWidget,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.Orientation)" target="_blank">WWidget.anchorAt()</a>
which anchor the widget to another one using CSS position-area, and in addition, makes the widget disappear when its position-anchor
is scrolled out of view. This is now used by default for
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPopupMenu.html" target="_blank">WPopupMenu</a>s inside
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPushButton.html" target="_blank">WPushButton</a>.
Additionally, changed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WWidget.html#positionAt(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WWidget,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.Orientation,java.util.EnumSet)" target="_blank">WWidget.positionAt()</a>
to use CSS position-anchor, when available, to avoid the need reparent the popup widgets while still allowing
them to keep the correct position when the anchor widget is moved due to scrolling.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13499" target="_blank">Issue #13499</a>:
adds support for cookies prefix in Wt::Auth. It is now possible to select the prefix of
the remember-me cookies via the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthService.html#setAuthTokensEnabled(boolean)" target="_blank">AuthService.setAuthTokensEnabled()</a>,
and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthService.html#setMfaTokenCookiePrefix(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.auth.AuthCookiePrefix)" target="_blank">AuthService.setMfaTokenCookiePrefix()</a>
functions. By default the <code>__Secure-</code> is now used when the connection is done over https.
This might break existing applications that rely on
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthService.html#getAuthTokenCookieName()" target="_blank">AuthService.getAuthTokenCookieName()</a>
or
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthService.html#getMfaTokenCookieName()" target="_blank">AuthService.getMfaTokenCookieName()</a>
to return the full name of the cookie, or applications that rely on the remember-me cookie having a specific name.
If that is your case, consider setting the cookie prefix to
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/auth/AuthCookiePrefix.html#Empty" target="_blank">AuthCookiePrefix.Empty</a>.
This also adds some helper classes and functions that can be used to create and retrieve the
value of cookies with prefixes.
The <a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/servlet/SecureCookie.html" target="_blank">servlet.SecureCookie</a>
and <a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/servlet/HostCookie.html" target="_blank">servlet.HostCookie</a> classes
can be used to easily create cookies with prefix, and the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WEnvironment.html#getSecureCookie(java.lang.String)" target="_blank">WEnvironment.getSecureCookie()</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WEnvironment.html#getHostCookie(java.lang.String)" target="_blank">WEnvironment.getHostCookie()</a> can
be used to retrieve the value of cookies with the corresponding prefix from the user's browser.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14571" target="_blank">Issue #14571</a>:
added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTableView.html#incomingIndex(java.util.EnumSet)" target="_blank">WTableView.incomingIndex()</a>
which allows to retrieve the index of the next cell that is not yet fully visible in the viewport
in the direction of the given corner.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13787" target="_blank">Issue #13787</a>:
added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTableView.html#getVisibleRowCount()" target="_blank">WTableView.getVisibleRowCount()</a>
and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTableView.html#getVisibleColumnCount()" target="_blank">WTableView.getVisibleColumnCount()</a>
which allow to retrieve the number of fully visible rows and columns.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14493" target="_blank">Issue #14493</a>:
allowed to ignore bubbling
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/EventSignal.html" target="_blank">EventSignal</a> using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/AbstractEventSignal.html#ignoreBubbling(boolean)" target="_blank">EventSignal.ignoreBubbling()</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>JWt 4.14.0 also fixes the following bugs:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14601" target="_blank">Issue #14601</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WAxisSliderWidget.html#getSelectedSeriesPen()" target="_blank">WAxisSliderWidget.getSelectedSeriesPen()</a>
not defaulting to
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WAxisSliderWidget.html#getSeriesPen()" target="_blank">WAxisSliderWidget.getSeriesPen()</a>
when no selected series pen was set.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14476" target="_blank">Issue #14476</a>:
fixed non-modal
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> not being able to receive focus
if none of their descendants could. This would make it impossible for the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> to receive any event.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14603" target="_blank">Issue #14603</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a> internal path matching considering
prefix matches as valid even when they did not end on a path segment boundary.
</li>
</ul>
<p>JWt 4.14.0 also comes with the following improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14078" target="_blank">Issue #14078</a>:
Wt now uses uses the <code>inline-start</code>, <code>inline-end</code>, <code>block-start</code>, and <code>block-end</code>
variants of CSS margin, padding, and border properties. This is mainly an internal change, but it should help decrease
bug related to right-to-left support.
Additionally,
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a> will now use the RTL version of Bootstrap 5 CSS when
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#setLayoutDirection(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.LayoutDirection)" target="_blank">WApplication.setLayoutDirection()</a> is used to set the
layout direction to <code>LayoutDirection::RightToLeft</code>.
With those changes also comes several bug fixes and improvements related to RTL support.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14468" target="_blank">Issue #14468</a>:
added the possibility to know the visibility state of the application using the new
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#getVisibilityState()" target="_blank">WApplication.getVisibilityState()</a>, and
to be notified when it changes using the new
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#visibilityChanged()" target="_blank">WApplication.visibilityChanged()</a> signal.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14584" target="_blank">Issue #14584</a>:
added the possibility to change the charts legend and title text color using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WCartesian3DChart.html#setTitleColor(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WColor)" target="_blank">WCartesian3DChart.setTitleColor()</a>,
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WAbstractChart.html#setTitleColor(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WColor)" target="_blank">WAbstractChart.setTitleColor()</a>,
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WCartesian3DChart.html#setLegendStyle(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WFont,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WPen,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WBrush,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WColor)" target="_blank">WCartesian3DChart.setLegendStyle()</a>,
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WCartesianChart.html#setLegendStyle(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WFont,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WPen,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WBrush,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WColor)" target="_blank">WCartesianChart.setLegendStyle()</a>, and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/chart/WPieChart.html#setLabelTextColor(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WColor)" target="_blank">WPieChart.setLabelTextColor()</a>.
</li>
<li>

allows to access the <code>key</code> property of the JavaScript key event that is
sent to the server.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13825" target="_blank">Issue #13825</a>:
it is now possible to remove or update polylines and circles on a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap</a>.
To make this possible, those elements are now represented by the classes
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.Polyline.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap.Polyline</a>
and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.Circle.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap.Circle</a>
respectively, which are map items, like
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.Marker.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap.Marker</a>
for instance.
These new classes can be added or removed from the map using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WLeafletMap.html#addPolyline(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WLeafletMap.Polyline)" target="_blank">WLeafletMap.addPolyline()</a>,

</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14557" target="_blank">Issue #14557</a>:

fixed submenus wrongly selecting themselves when clearing their selection using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WMenu.html#select(int)" target="_blank">WMenu.select(-1)</a>. This meant that

<h2>Release 4.13.0 (April 14, 2026)</h2>
<p>JWt 4.13.0 is a major release that introduces the following new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/12968" target="_blank">Issue #12968</a>:
It is now possible to send notifications trough JavaScript notification API using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WNotification.html" target="_blank">WNotification</a>. You
can see examples of how to use it in the
<a href="https://jwt.emweb.be/jwt-gallery/gallery/notification" target="_blank">Widget Gallery</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/12967" target="_blank">Issue #12967</a>:
It is now possible to change the favicon of an individual
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html" target="_blank">WApplication</a> using
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WApplication.html#setFavicon(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WFavicon)" target="_blank">WApplication.setFavicon()</a>. This takes as parameter a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WFavicon.html" target="_blank">WFavicon</a> which is a new class representing favicons. Since the main goal of this feature is to allow developers to notify
the user using the favicon, the WFavicon is mainly designed to make around this idea. While WFavicon is an abstract class, we also added four specialisations of this class.
The
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WResourceFavicon.html" target="_blank">WResourceFavicon</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WUrlFavicon.html" target="_blank">WUrlFavicon</a> are simple specialisations of WFavicon that allows to create a favicon from a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WResource.html" target="_blank">WResource</a> or a URL respectively.
The
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WRasterFavicon.html" target="_blank">WRasterFavicon</a>, uses a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WRasterPaintDevice.html" target="_blank">WRasterPaintDevice</a> to update the favicon.
And the
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WFaviconPair.html" target="_blank">WFaviconPair</a>, can be used to switch between two
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WFavicon.html" target="_blank">WFavicon</a>.
You can see examples of how to use it in the
<a href="https://jwt.emweb.be/jwt-gallery/gallery/notification/wfavicon" target="_blank">Widget Gallery</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12946" target="_blank">Issue #12946</a>:
Added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WBadge.html" target="_blank">WBadge</a>, a new class that represents a badge which is a text
with a special look. Badges are often used to draw the attention, or warn of updates.
It is possible to add a WBadge to a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPushButton.html" target="_blank">WPushButton</a>, to a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WMenuItem.html" target="_blank">WMenuItem</a>, (and by extension) to a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTabWidget.html" target="_blank">WTabWidget</a>.
You can see examples of how to use it in the
<a href="https://jwt.emweb.be/jwt-gallery/gallery/notification/wbadge" target="_blank">Widget Gallery</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13785" target="_blank">Issue #13785</a>:
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WAbstractItemView.html#scrollTo(eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WModelIndex,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.ScrollHint,eu.webtoolkit.jwt.ScrollHint)" target="_blank">WAbstractItemView.scrollTo()</a> now also
takes the column of the index into account when scrolling to an item. It is now also possible to specify different hints for the row and
column when scrolling to an item.
Additionally, some bugs linked to scrolling were fixed for both
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTreeView.html" target="_blank">WTreeView</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/7986" target="_blank">Issue #7986</a>:
added caching for form objects data on the server side to reduce the size of the request sent to the server by the client.
This can be disabled by setting the <code>form-data-caching</code> option to <code>false</code> in the <code>jwt_config.xml</code> file.
Note that this reduction in request size may come at the cost of an increase response size when updating form objects. It is possible
to limit this impact by changing the <code>form-data-resend-ratio-limit</code> option in the <code>jwt_config.xml</code> file.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12940" target="_blank">Issue #12940</a>:
Added
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WTextF.html" target="_blank">WTextF</a> which is text that can be exposed to the client side. This allows developers to handle updates to the text of a
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPaintedWidget.html" target="_blank">WPaintedWidget</a> directly on the client side.
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPaintDevice.html" target="_blank">WPaintDevice</a>, and
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WPainter.html" target="_blank">WPainter</a> have been updated to use WTextF instead of
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WString.html" target="_blank">WString</a>.
</li>
</ul>

</li>

<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14447" target="_blank">Issue #14447</a>:

from the client side when not being inside a

</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14416" target="_blank">Issue #14416</a>:
fixed
<a href="eu/webtoolkit/jwt/WWebWidget.html#setSelectable(boolean)" target="_blank">WWebWidget.setSelectable(true)</a> preventing selection instead of allowing it.

<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14035" target="_blank">Issue #14035</a>:
