BUG FIXES

  • XSS security improvements
  • Fixed a bug with listItem views not always being removed properly
  • Miscellaneous code cleanup, optimizations and fixes
  • Fix for memory leak in SC.Response
  • Fixed issue with SC.ManyArray not notifying inverse attributes of correct records that got removed in SC.ManyArray#replace, with tests.
  • TextField hint was not updating for browsers that support placeholder
  • Fix SC.Object so it handles both local and non-local property paths at the same time.

  • Fixed RenderContext to properly handle styles starting with a dash
  • Change the value of the textfield on keyDown to reflect key repetitions.
  • Ignore moveRight and moveLeft events if the user has a control or meta key held down. Otherwise, we may inadvertently block browser keyboard shortcuts.

  • SC.LabelView was lacking a default implementation of inlineEditorShouldBeginEditing(), so by default it would never switch to editable mode when 'isEditable' == true.
  • Fix for bug in SC.Record.normalize(). It would try to normalize a null child record reference.
  • SC.Event.special.mouseover didn't exist, changing it to mouseenter fixes the mouseenter event
  • RecordAttribute: Allow null dates
  • Checking / Unchecking checkboxes or clicking in empty space was not removing focus from in-focus form fields
  • Fixing before ondeactivate in textfield as it is not letting textfields within iframes get focus
  • Invalidate the verticalScrollOffset and horizontalScrollOffset with -1 instead of 0, because those are actually valid values.
  • Reset the click count if clicks occur too far away from one another
  • Make SC.RecordAttribute respect isEditable

  • Prevent scrollbars from being shown when PickerPane is opened.
