Documentation

PrimeFaces User’s Guide is updated to 475 pages covering the 3.3 version. See documentation page to download the guide.

Roadmap

Next planned releases are 3.3.1 and 3.4 which will be developed in parallel. Upcoming improvements are;

Implementation of community sponsored feature requests, currently 3 requests have reached their funding goals.

First class liferay/portlet support. We are currently working with LiferayFaces lead Neil Griffin to resolve a couple of incompatibility problems such as multiportlet support, dataexporter support and more. Thanks to Neil, most of the issues are resolved, we just need to apply his patches and handle the testing/qa.

Chart component improvements.

DataTable enhancements. (e.g. better dynamic columns handling)

New component: MindMap, sponsored request of an enterprise PrimeFaces user which will also be available to community.

Regular maintenance.

3.5 will bring in the brand new PrimeFaces Push Framework based on Atmosphere. Atmosphere Founder and Lead Developer Jeanfrancois Arcand will be our guest in our office for a week where he’ll be working with us to initiate the PrimeFaces Push Architecture. New Push Integration will support various browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera) over various transports (websockets, long-polling, streaming) featuring server side events with optional JMS support.
