• support Attachments (binary blobs) in Remote Service calls
  • ability to create an "Attachment" object (a java object from Riena) from a URL, InputStream or File and pass it as parameter or return it from a method call
  • the Attachment can read on the target as if it where a local container
• improved Exception handling for remote services
  • calls to remote services no longer return RemoteFailure with the real exception nested inside but they return the actually exception. we check that this exception is actually allowed by the method signature so the client isnt "surprised", we also let RuntimeExceptions go through. For checked exceptions like IOExceptions Riena nicely wraps them in a RemoteFailure

• Ridgets for Tree and TreeTable
• Menu Bar and Tool Bar (Cool Bar) below sub-application switcher
• Status Line (with message, number, date and time)
• Resizing of shell (without OS-Shell-Border)
• After adding / removing validation rules from an IEditableRidget you can now invoke revalidate() to update the ridget's validation state:

IEditableRidget ridget;
ridget.removeValidationRule(numbersOnly);
ridget.revalidate();

• The classes TableRidget and TreeTableRidget will automatically show checkbox images on columns that contain a boolean value.
