New Release: Ext JS 7.3 GA Release is here!

The Sencha team is pleased to announce the availability of Ext JS version 7.3!

Many API examples, ExtJs Examples for beginners, and ready-to-use templates for quick reuse have been added. We are committed to continuing to listen to your feedback as we improve the product experience and strengthen the product’s quality and functionality with each release.
