New and Noteworthy

Here are the highlighted new and improved features in this maintenance release.

Vaadin Flow (2.7.20)

• Security upgrade org.jsoup:jsoup to 1.15.3
  The following vulnerability are fixed with the upgrade: https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGJSOUP-2989728
  • Important Note: Upgrading jsoup from 1.14.3 to 1.15.3 includes an API breaking change and it might prevents the compilation of your code (only if you had a any direct usage of the removed deprecated class org.jsoup.safety.Whitelist). This was necessary to fix the potential security vulnerability listed above, and it is recommended to upgrade to this version. If you happened to have a compile error in your applciation, simply replace any possible occurrences of org.jsoup.safety.Whitelist with org.jsoup.safety.Safelist and there should not be any other hassles.

Reporting Issues

We appreciate if you try to find the most relevant repository to report the issue in. If it is not obvious which project to add issues to, you are always welcome to report any issue at https://github.com/vaadin/platform/issues.

A few rules of thumb will help you and us in finding the correct repository for the issue:

1. Bug tickets and enhancement requests that are specific to a certain Vaadin component should be posted in the component's Web Component repostory (e.g. https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-button for Button).
2. Issues that are not component-specific (e.g. requests for new components) or encompass multiple components should be posted in vaadin-flow-components repository.
3. If you encounter an issue with Flow which does not seem to be related to a specific component, the problem is likely in Flow itself. The Flow repository is https://github.com/vaadin/flow
4. If you encounter an issue with Designer, the repository is https://github.com/vaadin/designer
5. If you encounter an issue with TestBench, the repository is https://github.com/vaadin/testbench
