Roadmap

9th of February is the planned date for 2.0-Final release. Then we’ll start working on the new features such as drag drop for tree, accessiiblity and rtl improvements, better touch support, live scrolling for datatable, spreadsheet component, captcha and server side rendering.

Ultima 2.0 for PrimeNG is now available with full support for PrimeNG 2, major refactor of the layout structure, performance improvements and more.

Native Angular

Ultima 1.x was using jquery for the layout part, although this was working, it was fragile and same functionality can be written in Angular. That is what we did for 2.0, removed jquery bits and rewritten the layout in pure angular. Result is better performance and it works so much better within the context of Angular.

Ultima is now the ultimate Angular seed project as it is based on Angular CLI.

PrimeNG 2.0

PrimeNG 2.0 brings various improvements, due to the changes on the css structure side, Ultima had to be updated to be compatible.

Preview demo is available at Ultima Showcase.

Support

PrimeTek offers premium support at the dedicated Ultima customer support forum.

PrimeTek is thrilled to announce the first release candidate for PrimeNG featuring various enhancements, quality improvements, new features and more.

CSS over JS

PrimeNG 1 was using js to add hover effects and focus events, this was causing an unnecessary change detection in the context of Angular so we’ve reimplemented this to use CSS pseudo instead. Result is better performance, especially significant on pages with a lot of widgets.

DataTable

DataTable is the most complex component and to deal with complexity it has been revamped to have separate internal components like headers, body, scrollable views. This allows us to implement the new Frozen Columns easily. Another important add-on is the customizable editable cells. Highlight anticipated column resize support for scrollable tables is also now available.

Performance

Various components such as Dropdown, Calendar have received performance improvements, results are significant and performance has been improved drastically.
