Following on from our
uComponents v4.0.0 release, and including recent bug-fixes from
uComponents v3.1.3, we are proud to announce v4.1.0.
What's new in v4.1.0?
- New Data Types:
- New Macro Engines
- Static File Macro Engine
- XSLT Macro Engine
Issues, tickets and workitems
The following features have been implemented/resolved:
Please note: This release is not to be confused with the upcoming
uComponents v5.0.0 (which will support Umbraco 4.8+)
Umbraco compatibility
This release is compatible with versions of Umbraco from 4.6.1 to 4.7.2. For Umbraco 4.8 onwards, please use
uComponents v5.0.0. Due to upcoming changes in our
uComponents v5.0.0 release, we envisage our v4.x branch to be short-lived.
If you would like to use
uComponents v4.1.0 with Umbraco 4.8+, please read these notes for a workaround solution:

Upgrading and breaking changes
This release is generally backwards-compatible with previous releases. Meaning that for most scenarios you can upgrade without any issues.
The main breaking change (or improvement) is the switch from the legacy
umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory namespace/API to the newer
umbraco.NodeFactory. So if you still use the legacy namespace, then you'll need to recompile your code against this release.
All data-types and XSLT extensions will still work as expected.
