Today we are going into code freeze for Codename One 3.5 which is due one week from now, because of the fast release cycle we don’t need more than a week of code freeze to stabilize our current release. The code freeze applies to the Codename One libraries and ports as those are the parts … Code Freeze for 3.5

When we get a crash report one of our first questions is “when did you build this?”. The answer is often too vague to trace the specific version, so we end up with a mixture of guessing. The main issue is that there are different version values. They conflict with one another. They can be … Logged Versions

We are on the final stretch of 3.5 getting ready for the codefreeze that will go into effect in the middle of next week. With that in mind we have last minute features we are trying to get out of the door and unfortunately had to skip some big tasks. One of the big problems … Questions of the Week XV

With the pending release and some important issues we decide to make a minor update to the plugin today to introduce some improvements. We want the GUI builder to stabilize so we can finally crown it as “the” GUI builder rather than as “the new” GUI builder. To do that we need you guys to … Questions of the Week XIV

With the fix for issue #1694 we can now have a moderately simple method of creating an AutoCompleteTextField that works with a webservice.

Over the weekend LokeHansen posted a new series of youtube videos covering the process of creating a game in Codename One.
