Build System:

• Improved Gradle Build to build all Bootswatch Themes (Improve Gradle Build to build all Bootswatch Themes #271)

Bug Fixes:

• Overhauled the `AddResourcesListener´ (Unable to find resource bsf, css/default/icons.css #328, Unable to save dynamic action with clientId 'j_id...' #325)

• b:message and b:messages showed summary twice when no detail was specified (Messages showDetail has wrong default value and shows summary twice #352)
• b:tree now works without the need of a form. (Other new components and various fix/improvements #315)
• @previous resulted in an endless loop if there was no predecessor (@previous doesn't work if it's in a b:column #256)

[asterd]

we need to add also the lastest @stephanrauh additions like TagDecorator and onsuccess, onerror ajax callback

[asterd]

@TheCoder4eu and last but not least the latest responsive solution. Maybe we must also to document it :)

[stephanrauh]

@asterd Done. However, you're right, we still have to document these features.

I felt the three listed bug fixes looked a bit lonely and therefore I compiled a list of fixes with a description, what was fixed. I feel like it would help someone to see if "their" bug was fixed, so they can upgrade. So if that list is ok, we can edit it in.

Bug Fixes:

• fixed source of Unable to find resource bsf, css/default/icons.css warning (Unable to find resource bsf, css/default/icons.css #328)
• fixed most sources of the warning Unable to save dynamic action with clientId... (Unable to save dynamic action with clientId 'j_id...' #325)
  • note: there's still an open issue which causes this warning to appear if org.omnifaces.CombinedResourceHandler is used (Unable to save dynamic action with clientId because the UIComponent cannot be found when CombinedResourceHandler is used #365)
• b:message and b:messages showed summary twice when no detail was specified (Messages showDetail has wrong default value and shows summary twice #352)
