3.0.0
RAP 3.0 provides an API clean up, accomplishes the development by integrating new components from the incubator into the RAP core (e.g. File Upload support, Nebula Grid widget), and includes some important improvements and enhancements (e.g. extended E4 support with re-parenting).
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
- The RAP File Upload Support has been migrated to the RAP Runtime core
- The Nebula Grid widget for RAP has been migrated to the RAP Runtime core
- The RAP widget toolkit RWT now supports re-parenting
-
Bug 413668 - Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability (aka CSRF/XSRF)
The existing solution has been improved by generating the ID on the server in RAP 3.0. -
Bug 461143 - HttpParser error 400 in provided Jetty implementation
Only some early RAP 3.0 milestone builds contained the affected Jetty version, fixed with RAP 3.0 M6.

API that was marked as deprecated in RAP 2.x has been removed. This includes API related to lifecycle phases and lifecycle adapters (LCAs), concepts which we consider internals of the framework. Custom widgets should use the new Remote API instead.
The RAP 3.0 Migration Guide contains a comprehensive description of the API changes, and describes ways to migrate applications based on RAP 2.x to RAP 3.0.
RAP 3.0 requires Internet Explorer 9 or above. Support for Internet Explorer 8 has been dropped.
