Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, I’m releasing SPServices 2014.02. This is the second release in 2014 (which you should be able to glean from the release name). If you’re using an earlier version of SPServices, I strongly recommend an upgrade. Read on. The most important change in this release is due to…
Hot on the heels of the short-lived SPServices 2013.02 and it’s younger, wiser sibling 2013.02a, comes SPServices 2014.01. I wanted to do a new release with some cool new functionality, but Microsoft really forced my hand with some changes to title attributes on some column types. (See: Office 365 Update Changes ‘Display Name’ on Required…
Back on December 28, 2013, I released SPServices 2013.02, just squeaking in under the wire to be able to name it thusly. Soon after the release, Paul Tavares (@paul_tavares) and I noticed a few significant issues. These issues are fixed in 2013.02a. If you downloaded 2013.02, please replace it with 2013.02a. For the record, the issues…
Yesterday I released SPServices 2013.02. Here are the release headlines: Improved compatibility with SharePoint 2013, whether on premises or on Office365, especially in the value-added functions (SPCascadeDropdowns, SPDisplayRelatedInfo, etc.) Better API stability, including fixes for GetListItemChanges, GetListItemChangeSinceToken, and others Bug fixes and performance improvements While this is primarily a maintenance release, if you are using…
Tonight I’ve released SPServices 2013.01. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I strongly suggest that you upgrade to this version, as you will see some performance improvements and there is some nice new functionality. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta and provided feedback. jQuery Promises By far the most exciting thing in this release…
This git thing gets a lot of press these days and I figure it’s time to learn it. I selected git as the code repo on the SPServices Codeplex site quite a while ago but never used it. Now I’m trying to figure out what would be useful. SPServices has been a single file, as most of…
Today I’m releasing SPServices v0.7.2. If you are using an earlier version of SPServices, I suggest that you upgrade to this version, as you will most likely see some performance improvements, especially if you use multiple value-added functions on the same forms pages. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta over the last month or…
It’s been a bit too long since I’ve released a new version of SPServices. It was mid-February when I released v0.7.1, and I’ve been adding new functionality and squashing bugs since then. At this point, I believe that I have a pretty stable beta ready. If you have the time and the inclination, I’d truly…
I’ve just released a new version of the SPXSLT Codeplex Project, version 0.0.9. In this release, I added one new template called FixAmpersands. FixAmpersands is useful when you want to “join’ two lists in an AggregateDataSource in a Data View Web Part (DVWP) and the column you are uisng as the key may contain ampersands….
Yup, that’s 20,004 downloads of SPServices since I first posted it on Codeplex back on August 19, 2009. I don’t know about you, but to me that’s really cool! p.s. Mark Rackley (@MrAckley) is going to claim that 18,342 of the downloads were him, but don’t buy it.
