• Coldfusion MX edition added
• ASP.NET 2.0 Support added
  • VB.NET 2.0 Support

• Visual Studio 2005 Support added
• New samples for all platforms.

• Support for % width textbox and listboxes
• Various rendering glitches in Firefox and Internet Explorer resolved
• Support for menu objects in the dropdown (see new sample)
• Added support for horizontal scrolling when many columns are present.
• When no dataisland is supplied in the page, and an initial search value is defined, the combo only does one AJAX call to the server.
• Width of textbox, combo, and list can be specified as %.
• List columns can be specified as % and the wildcard asterisk (*) can be used (derived from HTML table syntax and behaviour).
• If there is no space to the left or bottom of the combo, the list will move to one or both of the top, or the left to ensure the list stays in view.
• HTTP Request method can no be specified as either POST or GET.
• Better fuzzy matching introduced. The server can send back any data that may not necessarily match on the client. This allows for more custom, fuzzy matching using the backend.
• Better control of horizontal scrollbar. Content in the list can scroll or clip
• Paging functionality added to the Smartsearch and Freeform modes in a similar fashion to how it currently works in the Classic mode.
• Better support for ASHX. Ability to serve data from ASHX pages for improved performance.
• Documentation is now online.
• Absolute control of the list x andy coordinates.
• Bug Fixes:

• When TypeAhead matches a search item and the user loses focus by clicking the mouse elsewhere, the item is considered selected. If TypeAhead makes no match, then no row is selected, and the custom text can be retrieved.
• Fixed memory leaks relating to searching and paging.
• If initial search finds no match, the initial search text is left in the textbox.
• Fixed 404 errors resulting from javascript:void images.
• TextBox can be disabled in Firefox.
• Horizontal scrollbar fixed in Firefox. The scrollbar is on the inside of the container now (ensures that the width of the list is always maintained).
• Compatibility with other components fixed.
• Numerous other minor bugfixes.
