VisUI 1.0 Released

VisUI 0.0.1 was released on 5th November 2014. Initially meant to be internal VisEditor UI library now became my most popular project, getting about 1500 downloads each month.

Today I can finally announce that VisUI 1.0.0 has been released. Does that mean anything significant? Not really, maybe I will try make less breaking changes now. I’m glad that I was able to work on this project for such long time. I would also like to thanks everyone who contributed to Vis project, either by reporting issues or by creating pull requests.

So, let’s see what new 1.0 has to offer:

  • ListView - creating advanced lists, powerful and flexible. More

  • ButtonBar - creating button panels with buttons such as “Ok”, “Cancel”, “Yes” in platform dependent order. More

  • Bug fixes and breaking changes - more details in changelog.
