What's New in OpenUI5 1.56

With this release OpenUI5 is upgraded from version 1.54 to 1.56.

Version	Type	Category	Title	Description	Action	Available as of
1.56	New	Feature	New Event Handler Parameter Syntax	New Event Handler Parameter Syntax When event handlers are assigned to control events in XML views, you can now also specify parameters which can be passed to the event handler. The parameters can be static values as well as bindings and even expressions. This feature helps to reduce controller code and avoid unnecessary controller methods, and separates the controller logic from the retrieval of the required input values. <Button text="Add Product" press=".modifyList('add ', ${products>unitPrice})"/> For more information, see Handling Events in XML Views. _{New•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	New	Feature	XML Composite Control	XML Composite Control A new type of composite control, the XML composite control, is now available. It let's you build more flexible controls that contain separate XML and JavaScript parts. For more information, see the API Reference and the Samples. _{New•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	New	Feature	Support Assistant	Support Assistant The Support Assistant now allows you to import and export your rule selection. This helps you when you want to perform more than one analysis with the same subset of selected rules. The selection is exported as a `.json` file with a title and description of your choice. You can then import this file and load it whenever you want to execute the same rules in another analysis. For more information, see Rules Management. _{New•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Feature	OpenUI5 OData V4 Model	OpenUI5 OData V4 Model The new version of the OpenUI5 OData V4 model has the following features: Binding parameter `$$ownRequest` to enforce that a binding sends its own requests. Binding parameter `$$aggregation` to display aggregated data. Note: This feature is still a work in progress. So far it supports displaying a flat list of aggregated data or grouping by one groupable property without being able to expand. The refresh of a single row in an absolute list binding can now also take filters into account . When executing a deferred bound operation, the result of the promise returned by `v4.ODataContextBinding#execute` is the context representing the data of the bound operation response if certain conditions are fulfilled. For more information check the API for `ODataContextBinding#execute`. Restriction: Due to the limited feature scope of this version of the OpenUI5 OData V4 model, check that all required features are in place before developing applications. Check the detailed documentation of the features, as certain parts of a feature may be missing. While we aim to be compatible with existing controls, some controls might not work due to small incompatibilities compared to `sap.ui.model.odata.(v2.)ODataModel`, or due to missing features in the model (such as tree binding). This also applies to controls such as `TreeTable` and `AnalyticalTable`, which are not supported together with the OpenUI5 OData V4 model. The interface for applications has been changed for easier and more efficient use of the model. For a summary of these changes, see Changes Compared to OData V2 Model. For more information, see OData V4 Model, the API Reference, and the Sample in the Demo Kit. _{Changed•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Feature	Support Assistant	Support Assistant `sap.ui.support.ExecutionScope.getElements` has a new parameter `cloned`. It allows users of the Support Assistant to filter out elements that are clones of list bindings. Now the results will include only the representative clone. For more information, see the API Reference. A Filter view showing the currently applied filter has been added to the Issues view of the Support Assistant. The Clear Filtering button () has moved to the Filter view. It is active only when there is a filter selected. An explanatory note has been added to the Additional Rulesets view under the header to give more clarity about the function of these rulesets and why they are in a separate tab. The Report button is now fixed to the panel to be always visible and not to get into the overflow. The font sizes are aligned across all three views for consistency. In the Issues view the number of issues is only highlighted when there are issues of medium and high severity. This improvement helps to easily see the distribution of the issues by severity. _{Changed•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Feature	Drag and Drop	Drag and Drop Configuration for dragging has been separated from the one for dropping.

1.56	Changed	Feature	Drag and Drop: General Support (experimental)	Drag and Drop: General Support (experimental) Drag and drop has been enabled for all controls (with the new `dragDropConfig` aggregation) in `sap.ui.core.Element`. Restriction: This function is not intended for production use except for the controls for which drag and drop has already been enabled in previous versions (for example, for tables and lists). For more information, see the API Reference (`dragDropConfig` aggregation). _{Changed•Feature•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.f.DynamicPageHeader`	`sap.f.DynamicPageHeader` For more information, see the Sample.

1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.DateTimePicker`	`sap.m.DateTimePicker` Two new properties are added to the control - `minutesStep` and `secondsStep`. They allow configuring the value step for the minutes and seconds sliders. For example, if you need the values for the minutes inside the slider to be multiples of 5, you can use the option - `minutesStep:5`. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.IconTabBar`	`sap.m.IconTabBar` Drag and drop between the header and the overflow list is now possible. When you hover over the overflow button with a dragged element, an overflow list opens and you can drag an item from the header to the list. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. A new `TabDensityMode` property is introduced in both `sap.m.IconTabBar` and `sap.m.IconTabHeader`. The property allows both the Tab Bar and the Header to change their density within different controls. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.List`	The expand/collapse arrow and the pin/unpin buttons now have a new visual design. They are `sap.m.List` The `columns` aggregation was deprecated in version 1.16 and has now been removed. Use the `sap.m.Table` control instead. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.MenuButton`	`sap.m.MenuButton` The control now has a new `menuPosition` property. It specifies the position of the popup menu with enlisted options. By default, the menu opens at the bottom left side of the control but if there is not enough space in the current window, it tries to open on the opposite side. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.PlanningCalendar`	`sap.m.PlanningCalendar` The new `appointmentDragEnter` event allows appointments to be dragged and dropped between calendar rows. By default, when the `enableAppointmentDragAndDrop` property is enabled, appointments can be dragged only within their original `PlanningCalendarRow`. When `enableAppointmentsDragAndDrop` is set to true, attaching the event handler to the `appointmentDragEnter` event can change the default behavior and allow appointments to be dragged on the same row and between calendar rows. Appointments can now be created in one `PlanningCalendarRow` by dragging with the mouse on an empty cell. This behavior is enabled with the `enableAppointmentCreate` boolean property. When creating is finished, an `appointmentCreate` event is fired. The new `enableAppointmentResize` boolean property provides the possibility to resize appointments in one `PlanningCalendarRow`. When resizing is finished, an `appointmentResize` event is fired. A new functionality to copy appointments by dragging them is added on the `PlanningCalendarRow` level. When you press [Ctrl]/[Cmd] while dragging an appointment, dropping it will create a copy.For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.PlanningCalendarRow`	`sap.m.PlanningCalendarRow` The new `specialDates` aggregation allows you to mark special days on a row level.

1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.SelectDialog`	`sap.m.SelectDialog` With the new `growing` property, you can control the progressive loading of bound items. By default, it is set to `true` which means that features like the number of selected items in the info bar and search (if present) will work only for the currently loaded items. To make sure that all items in the table are loaded at once, and the above features work properly, you should set the growing property to `false`. Note: The growing functionality cannot be used together with two-way binding. For more information, see the API Reference. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.Slider/sap.m.RangeSlider`	`sap.m.Slider/sap.m.RangeSlider` You can create a custom scale (for example, with dates) for the sliders. To do this, you need to add custom scale and implement the `Iscale` interface. You can create a custom tooltip, by extending the class `sap.m.SliderTooltipBase` and overriding some methods. If you want to define your own content for the tooltip, you should override just the `renderTooltipContent` method. For more information, see Sliders and the API Reference. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.Table`	`sap.m.Table` The new `sticky` property enables the column headers, infobar, and toolbar to remain in a fixed position at the top of the page during vertical scrolling.

1.56	Changed	Control	`sap.m.TableSelectDialog`	`sap.m.TableSelectDialog` A new property `growing` is added to the control. It determines the progressive loading. When set to `true`, the features Selected Count in `Info bar`, Search, and Select/Deselect All, if present, will work only for the currently loaded items. To ensure that all items in the table are loaded and these features work as expected, you need to set the property to `false`. Note: The growing functionality cannot be used together with two-way binding. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. The control now has a Reset button which allows you to clear the selection you have made in your Table Select dialog with one click. The button is enabled only when you make a selection. Otherwise, it is grayed out. For more information, see the API Reference and the Sample. _{Changed•Control•Info Only•1.56}	Info Only	2018-08-02
