Umbraco compatibility

This release is compatible with Umbraco 4.8.0 (and above). For previous versions, please use uComponents v3.1.2 with Umbraco 4.5.2+ and uComponents v4.1.0 with Umbraco 4.7.1+
(To reiterate: this release does not work with Umbraco 4.7.2 and earlier versions.)

Legacy and retirement

There are a number of components that are due for retirement. Reasons for this can be due to: lack of support from the development team; functionality has been superseded by another component; the component itself is deemed feature complete; or that the component has been migrated to the Umbraco core.

The following components have been retired to the uComponents.Legacy.dll:

• DataTypes
  • AutoComplete

In order to maintain backwards compatibility, the uComponents.Legacy.dll assembly will be shipped with uComponents as default for the foreseeable future. If you do not require any of the legacy components, you can safely delete the uComponents.Legacy.dll file from your /bin folder.

Resolved issues

The following issues have been resolved:

• CheckBox List Automatically check children on parent node check.
• CheckBoxTree clickable labels, please?
• AutoComplete data type should not do postbacks on add
