The Genesis project, a framework that aims to simplify development of client/server and desktop applications has released version 2.2. "This release includes some new exciting features, such as support for virtual properties, several performance enhancements and improved documentation."

Some of the most noteworthy new features and changes are:

   * The XDoclet extensions had their structure reworked and are now properly documented
   * Support for virtual properties has been added
   * An implementation of paging for lists is now part of the framework
   * net.java.dev.genesis.resolvers.EmptyResolverRegistry has been modified to allow net.java.dev.genesis.resolvers.EmptyResolver instances to be registered programmatically
   * The onClose() method from net.java.dev.genesis.ui.thinlet.BaseDialogThinlet has been modified in order to improve memory release (for more information, check issues 243 and 244 )
   * textareas are now made not editable instead of being disabled so it is possible to scroll them (for more information, check issue 248 )

The following bugs have been fixed on this release:

   * SessionContext.setRollbackOnly() should only be called inside a transaction (Issue # 213)
   * The DefaultConverter(boolean) constructor is broken (Issue # 218)
   * @VisibleWhen/@EnabledWhen do not work for read-only properties (Issue # 225)
   * WorkerThread's lifecycle should be bound to TimeoutAspect's one (Issue # 245)
   * Selection fails for comboboxes and lists populated using @DataProvider and containing different values for the key and value properties (Issue # 246)
