A Facelift for RAP 1.4

Since Friday, 1st October 2010 RAP 1.4 M2 is out. In this milestone we introduced some really great improvements. The first is that we gave RAP a facelift - that is, you’ll find a much cooler out-of-the-box look and feel.  Building on  the designs we created for RAP 1.3, RAP 1.4 comes with a more modern default look and feel.  You can still activate the old look optionally - you’ll find it in a separate bundle called the classic theme.  Compare the two looks here and see what you think.  (You can click on the images to zoom in.)

Before	After

The second big improvement in 1.4 M2 is the mobile Safari support, aka. support for using RAP on Apple’s mobile devices. We concentrated our work on making the widgets most used for this device, usable. Tim created a screencast which he mentioned in a previous post.

In a nutshell, I think this milestone is a big step towards another great release.
