Backbase, a rich internet application toolkit, have released version 3.1 of their community edition. Looking through the release notes there are some interesting changes and additions: Support for control focus in controls that allows navigating between controls using keys. Additions to the BXML language for scripts, drag/drop constraints, and other things. Lots of new controls! Bar charts, line charts, organisational charts, combobox, select, date picker, a 'Flash' control, and sidebar. XPath 2 support. The explorer demo has more stuff explained. Overall lots to play with. 7:34:59 PM
