Some changes in detail: - Elements: `set/getRuntimeProperty()` method to store data at runtime - Default array datasource: `setValues()` method - Textarea element: `setRows()` / `setColumns()` methods - Elements: `makeOptional()` method to remove any required rules - Elements: `hasErrors()` method to check if an element has errors after validation - Elements: `getRules()` method to retrieve all rules added to the element - Elements: `hasRules()` method to check if an element has any rules - Elements: `addRuleXXX()` shorthand methods, including `addRuleRequired()`. - Elements: `appendComment()` method to append text to an existing comment. - Elements: `setComment()` extended to allow `Stringable` values. - Elements: `isFrozen()` method to check if an element is frozen. - Containers: `requireElementById()` with non-null return value. - Text-based elements: `addFilterTrim()` method. - Select element: `prependOption()` method to insert an element at the top. - Select element: Support for selects with a custom OptGroup class. - Select element: OptGroups `getLabel()` method. - Select element: `countOptions()` method with recursive capability. - Select Element: Added `makeMultiple()` and `isMultiple()`. - Select Element: Added `setSize()` and `getSize()`. - Select Element: Added `getSelectedOption()`. - Date element: Setter and getter methods for options. - Input elements: Added `setLabel()` method where relevant. - Checkbox element: Added `setChecked()` method. - Image element: Added `setURL()` method. - Button Element: Added `makeSubmit()` and `makeButton()`. - Form: Added `getMethod()`. - Form: Added `makeMultiPart()` and `isMultiPart()`. - Rules: The callback rule now has a method `getCallback()` to retrieve the configured callback. - Rules: Added static `setDefaultMessage()` to the required rule. - Renderers: Added setters and getters for renderer options. - Renderers: Added specialized proxy classes to assist with IDE code completion. - Renderers: Added proxy factory methods like `createArray()` and `createCallback()`. - Renderers: Added a Bootstrap5 renderer. Performance tweaks ------------------ [](#performance-tweaks) - Container `getElementById()` method. - Auto-generated element IDs. Element ID generation --------------------- [](#element-id-generation) The element ID generation mechanism has been modified, so it is no longer possible to rely on a specific naming scheme to predict the automatic element IDs. In practice, this was impractical at best anyway, and the new system has big performance gains.
