  1. Great job, as always! This release is full of data table love :) I’m afraid the migration might take some time in my case, but I’ll give it a try next week and hope my workaround for table sort after ajax update is still functional with 3.5 :) But hey…

    Multi Column Sort <3
    InCell Editing <3
    …

  2. Congrats Cagatay. The number of fixed issues is impressive. DataTable improvements are very important because this is probably the most used component.

    What is the timetable for the 3.5 Final approximately?

  5. Great work. Looking forward for the final release. Hope I can convince my ‘Enterprise Architects’, to phase into Primefaces in future developments.

    Thanks,

    • In the meanwhile, you may want to develop a prototype of (at least) one of your main (web) components/UI that is serving endusers/customers…and do it with PrimeFaces.

      I”m sure, you and PrimeFaces can blow the socks off of your enterprise architects! :)

  6. I join in the congratulations. Excellent components. Keep up the good work.
    Megatron defeated :)

  8. I’v been waiting for rtl support in tabmenu is that done too. If so how can i utilize it?

  10. Very Very Very Good and Great Job.
    Really great that you guys fixed the problem in Scrollable DATA TABLE.
    And I’m really thankful that you guys provided check box and Radio selection to Data Table.

    Thank you.

  11. Good job ! What about primefaces 3.5 and richfaces 4.2 compatibility ? Not working for me. Any idea ?

  12. Thank you very much for the great product.

    I would appreciate the “DataTable – Dynamic Columns” to be like a drop down select many menu, which saves the time consuming and error prone typing effort—if you want to show some closed column, you have to memorize what you hide before and type its name.

    Pre-set closable columns can show up in that closable/showable menu, plus a direct close choice available to the user will be a great time saver.

  13. Hey there is on class missing in 3.5 RC1.
    org.primefaces.event.DateSelectEvent
    is it Deprecated or just missed out in distribution.?
    Please someone answer?
