In between all the other exciting stuff happening here like JaveOne, XTech and RobotReplay, we have also been working on improving the Complete UI suite!

In particular we will have a new Calendar control (which is integrated with Grid of course) and also something we call Spotlight that can be used to build a tour of your web application for help users.

What I have been working on (as anyone who has seen my twitter can attest to) is fixing up our flagship product, Grid. I have mostly been focusing on two aspects of it:

• Improving layout and theming. This has been a long time coming and it is much better now but there is still some work to do to get it up to par with all the other components. Layout has been changed a lot and should make it much nicer to work with.
• Improving performance. Another thing that has been a long time coming is better general performance. We have slimmed things down a bit in terms of code size and in fixing the layout we have also increased performance significantly.

I should also mention that Mike has been doing a bang-up job lately on getting the Java backend code ship shape as well as improving the docs - which everyone will probably be very happy about!

There has also been a slew of bug fixes going out for several of our customers that will become available to everyone with this release.

We are shooting for June 1 (this coming friday) so stay tuned!
