CUF 2.0.8 is released. This is a medium feature release (for Java only) with the following changes:

• fixed: a lot of minor bugs (MultiSelectionTableModelAdapter firing only once, JMenu insertion with negative index, EDT exception handling, ..)
• improved: implemented generics for request handling (Request, Response), AspectAdapter and MultiSelectionInList
• changed: switch Intellij to .idea format to make sharing the config simpler (only relevant for CUF core development, not relevant for use)
• changed: NewTableSorter.clearSortingState() is now public so we can force a re-sorting when the data changes during a callback
• added: better list/table/etc. handling:
  • the SwingListSelectionState now also supperts a reverse index
  • the SwingTableModelFillState and SwingTreeModelFillState now allow to change the threshold via setCompareContent()
  • listSelection now supports handing over the index (or the reverse index) in the ref2 attribute
  • listFill, tableFill and treeFill now supports handing over the threshold as a integer in the ref2 attribute
  • a new MinMaxState
  • an opaque attribute to switch a component to opaque when it is disabled
  • optional implementation of the TableFilterPlugin, to enable filtering
  • extUpdRef attribute to the XML description of value models to notify another value model via signalExternalUpdate() if our own value changed. Useful to update 'grandparents' about changes in a aspect adapter or simular down the road.
• updated: dependencies (Junit, jdom2)
• improved: better serialize support for MultiSelectionInList
• improved: better re-use of glasspane
• improved: made constructor of DialogManager public to allow external usage of the dialog manager
