What’s new in this release?
Our development teams have been very active since the last release, and have made some terrific enhancements in the capabilities, stability and performance of the Beta3 version of the SDK. Some notable improvements include:
- Code signing enabled – you can now secure your application using the BlackBerry code signing process for BlackBerry Tablet OS. Learn more about signing your applications.
- AJAX support for local context. This fix improves the quality of support for using AJAX to retrieve local resources. A benefit of this fix includes improved support on the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet for JavaScript® frameworks like jQuery.
- Loading screen image – Developers can define a loading screen and transition effect in their config.xml file to improve the user experience during application startup.
- Major improvements in Mac support – Absolute paths now allowed in ZIP archive; _MACOSX folder no longer being included in BAR file; Format of bbwp command line arguments changed from “-“ to “/”.
As always, please refer to the release notes for information about what has been improved in the current release.
