Release update: TAT Cascades 3.7 and TAT Kastor 4.8
TAT has released new powerful versions of TAT Cascades and TAT Kastor. Make sure to explore the new drag-and-drop framework, the extended TML Templates and Example suites, as well as an improved TreeList. An overview of the main highlights in the new release can be found below:

New Drag and Drop Framwork

In Cascades 3.7 Drag and Drop has been reworked in order to make it easier to create user interface scenarios involving Drag and Drop. It enables the application programmer to start a drag-and-drop session from any pointer event, something that was previously impossible. It also eliminates the need for C code when deciding when and where a control can get dragged and dropped. This logic has now been moved to TML and is fully configurable. The new Drag and Drop solution also uses simpler TML without any pre-determined animation triggers, and there is no longer any need for drag-and-drop transitions.

TML Templates

TML Templates lets you compose your own group of TML elements that can be reused in other contexts of your application code. In this way you can create components that can be utilized by yourself and other developers in your team. TML Templates are defined and used in TML, without the use of C code.

New Example Suite

The Example Suite has been updated with a new set of examples to help simplify the development process with Cascades. The suite includes simple getting started examples as well as more complex UI components for advanced interfaces.
Sporting a new stylish look and feel, the design is fully touch optimized and follows modern UI paradigms.

TreeList improvements

The TreeList control and its associated visuals have been extended with new functionality, in many cases making it a viable replacement for the old list framework. Two new layouts have been added: FlexiLayout and TabLayout.
The FlexiLayout makes it possible to create very diverse layouts and can be seen as a replacement for the free-form list. The TabLayout groups header items together and shows the children of the last expanded header item.
New TML and C APIs have been added, extending among other things scrolling and focus handling.
