@Ed:
“all our exit criteria for 4.0 final were met with a stable API and no known major issues so we decided to ship without an RC this time”

Can you say that again with a straight face?

But great framework.

@khebs thanks for the comments on MVC. If you have specific performance problems please just get in touch on the forums and we’ll investigate. Performance is a big deal for us

@Fabio MVC shouldn’t be interfering with this - can you paste your forum thread link?

teste: function() {
      var grid = Ext.widget(‘userlist’);
      console.log(grid.getSelectionModel().getSelection());
    }

Note: I’m asking here because I’m no outlet for it, I’ve tried several ways and in various forums.

Thank you very much if you can answer me. Thanks!

The framework is very rich w/ features and thats just about it, the old ExtJS2,3 performance was gone… i tried everything from a sandbox qtwebkit, a “—app=” argument from chrome, etc.. it just not what we expected about this.. from the videos ans such, its not there yet.. maybe after a year this will change a bit.. Personally i like ExtJS4, specially i was waiting for the neptune.. :( but till i would not care how nice the theme is, i / we / you performance must be there, just like before… btw, i like the MVC, very nice, i think what im going to do now is to make it for ExtJS 3.x…

Yeah, well. ExtJS 4.0 is a great product and all, but having bought a ExtJS 3.X license last summer, I find it frustrating that I have to pay as much as a newcomer to get the latest and greatest version of ExtJS.

I mean, I was OK to pay 100 or 150 bucks to upgrade. Yes, you’ve been working hard on this one, and hard work deserves to be rewarded. But please don’t forget your old customers, without whom ExtJS 4.0 wouldn’t even exist. I feel like I’ve been throwing money out of the window. Even Adobe offers special upgrade prices, for God’s sake !

For a small company like mine, buying twice a year the same product full price simply isn’t affordable. Not all your customers are big corporations…

So yes, ExtJS 4.0 is a great product. But I probably won’t use it.

Thanks to Ed and team for working so hard to get this release out by the end of the month.

@Rich Walker The fact that the demos do not open a new tab in IE9 really has nothing to do with the ExtJS framework itself and more to do with the way the demos are launched to separate tabs.  Check your security settings.  Your assertion that Sencha does not support IE9 is flawed.

http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.0/examples/feed-viewer/feed-viewer.html

Apparently the mechanism used to open the demo in its own window does not work with IE9….

It’s scary that something as obvious as this exists in a formal release.  Is it sencha’s position that IE9 is not yet a supported browser for extJS4?

Starting with last year’s conference there has been much discussion and promotion of the new theming engine without substantial documentation to allow others to fully understand this new paradigm.

@Everyone We held back Neptune for an iteration as we wanted to add extra polish - expecting it to arrive in 4.1, not 5.0

You can also download the ‘SDK Tools’ beta, but where are the docs and the release notes ? how does it work ?

There are issues in the docs though - a good few broken links. Also, the link that Ed posted to the Controller docs (http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/dev/docs/api/Ext.app.Controller.html) is broken.

Getting started on 4.0 mentions a Sencha Tools SDK. Download link’s broken. None of the commands listed there work on Tools SDK beta.

Most frustrating of all. Yes the new ExtJS 4.0 framework is pretty impressive. But guess why? The documentation does not talk about classes.js which is needed for the example applications to work! So do I have to write its cryptic one-extremely-long- line file myself? Or can I get it generated by Tools SDK which doesn’t work?

I’m still counting the number of days till I finally will be able to get familiarized with the cryptic Javascript code library. On my own that is. Thanks for reading.

where is docs for sdk tools?

Will the strong pace of development continue?

Keep up the good work guys.

The new architecture and theming are a revolutionary step forward.

Are the theme variables documented anywhere yet ? E.g. something like the Sencha Touch docs here: http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/docs/theme/

I get this error:  Failed loading ‘/js/app/view/Viewport.js’, please verify that the file exists.
The file does not exist because I have no idea what should be there.
Comparing it to the ‘simple’ example in the example/apps folder the main difference seems to be the classes.js file vs ext-debug.js?
Also the line: ‘In this example, our Users controller will be mapped to the AM.controller.Users class, the file of which is located in app/controller/User.js’ < should be Users.js

If you look at the API Docs dropdown at the top right of any page on the site you’ll find a link there. We seem to have a bug when trying to do that from the forums as clicking it takes you to 4.x docs instead - working on fixing that shortly

just little question… the docs tell “For up to date documentation and features, visit http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0” how to download just the docs (not al) or must i to re download all packges??

Alex

Thank you!

Hope you’ve reworked how controllers work, since I’m having to bypass the suggested method for most of mine at the moment, given that ComponentQuery cannot query for controls which are not in existence at init time.
Will have a look now

Cheers,
Westy

Thank you!

Looking forward to checking out the new examples!
