Jack Slocum has posted a screencast of the visual designer tool that will be part of upcoming release of Ext.
The roadmap for version 3, due out in the first quarter of 2009, has also been updated. Here is what we can expect (I am really interested in the ones in bold):
- All new lightweight, high-speed core base library
- Flash Charting API
- Ext.Direct – Remoting and data streaming/comet support
- Integrated client-server data binding/marshaling of updates
- ListView component
- Enhanced Button and Toolbar components
- ARIA/Section 508 accessibility improvements
- CSS updates for reset style scoping and easier custom theming
- Update the Ext event registration model
- Ext.Ajax enhancements
