6.1.x

6.0.x

• updated to FullCalendar 6.1.6
• Migrated from Polymer 3 to simple HTML Element based web component (no Lit nor Polymer)
• Migrated source code from JavaScript to TypeScript (ongoing process, not yet finished)
• Folder structures changed
• Tag names prefixed with "vaadin-"
• Content is now part of the light dom, thus styling will be easier
• Client side eager loading removed, items will now always be fetched
• Added prefetch mode to allow smoother transition between periods
• Breaking changes regarding methods and fields (client side and server side). Also usage of private / protected modifiers in TS.
• Added support for FC's "multi-month" views.
• Added proper API for creating and registering custom views. Also added an internal handling of "anonymous" custom views created by initial options.
• Deprecated code from previous versions has been removed
• JsonItem has been removed, Entry is a "normal field" class again due to issues with proxying frameworks
• setHeight has been minimalized to be more aligned with Vaadin standards. FC internal height settings / options are not supported anymore. Calendar content will take only as much space as needed.
• added type RecurringTime to allow setting an entry recurrence of more than 24h

Minor changes:

• getResources now may return null. Use getOrCreateResources.
• CalendarLocale is now an enum. Use getLocale() to obtain the contained locale value.
• week numbers within days is no longer available, weeknumbers are now always display inside days.
• RenderingMode and alike namings have been named to DisplayMode / display to match the FC library naming. Also DisplayMode is now a top level class.
• added resize observer to client side to automatically take care of resizes
• added our own @NotNull annotation to allow support for Vaadin 23 and 24
• Entry's method copy(Class<T>) has been renamed to copyAsType(Class<T>).

Other things that we may have overseen :)

Due to lack of time, we have no release note details at this time. We tried to provide additional info as part of the migration page.
