Aida/Web 6.1 released

Dear Smalltalkers,

I'm proud to announce the new version of Aida/Web Application server and web framework, currently prepared for Squeak/Pharo and VisualWorks.

What's new in 6.1?

  • Inline translation to multiple languages,to translate your web applications to other languages inline, by just clicking the text on the page. Translation is immediately stored in  class methods on your web app classes.
  • See three screenshots in an example below. First we click the Security title. Second we translate it inline to French and click Ok. Text is from now on in French for a French speaking visitors and English for all others.

  • Ajaxified input validation,

And more:

  • Routing of web requests,
  • Static serving moved to a special StaticServer class
