Vaadin Flow 8.0.0.alpha4

Changes in Flow from 8.0.0.alpha3

• Breaking Changes:

  • ⧉ Extract DevModeHandler and BrowserLiveReload into a separate module. PR:10969. Ticket:10892

    Added module vaadin-dev-server containing dev server and live reload. The interfaces in flow-server (DevModeHandler, DevModeHandlerManger and BrowserLiveReloadAccessor) are implemented in this module. The module is optional: running without it in dev mode requires setting enableDevServer=false and building the frontend manually (vaadin:build-frontend mavne goal).
    This should not have any effect on Vaadin applications or add-ons, unless they for some reason are calling internal development mode related frontend build code in Flow. Many classes have moved to com.vaadin.flow.internal package from com.vaadin.flow.server. See the changeset for details.

• New Features:

  • ⧉ Allow defining access control annotations on view superclasses. PR:11097. Ticket:10705

  • ⧉ Make helper method public to allow Spring to use it. PR:10863

    This allows leaving child views unannotated with any of the access annotations and the access rules to be defined by the parent view classes.
