Release Notes

Changes for MiWorkplace 1.24.0

This release had a lot of refactorings to make MiW future ready.

Background Loading: Because many of us work from home, most loading has moved to the background, preventing UI freezes.
Spooled files view: Now only your own spooled files are loaded. This means faster loading of the list. A user toggle is provided to see all spooled files.
New Look and Feel: MiWorkplace had a facelift. More room for data and a crisper UI.
Automatic Updates: When essential updates are released, MiWorkplace will notify you, and you can choose to update automatically.
Nightly Updates: When you want to live on the bleeding edge, you are able to update from the nightly update site. You trade stability for the latest and the greates features. Check the "Available Update Sites" in the preferences.
New Dark Theme: For all you Dark Theme aficionados, you can now enjoy our best Dark Theme to date.
Support for Plugins: To support future enhancements like LSP, Git, Remain API Studio, and TD/OMS. MiWorkplace has been made compatible with the Eclipse Platform. With the included marketplace client, you can already install your favorite plugins.
A new Engine: MiWorkplace is now running with the latest Eclipse engine, which in turn runs on Java 11. This makes the product fast and stable. MiWorkplace will automatically offer engine updates.
License Editor: The license system is now self-supporting. Licenses can be acquired from within MiWorkplace.
