WaveMaker 10.0 Preview - Release date: 20 November 2018
WaveMaker has released a new version with new features.
Highlights
i. Artifact Repository
Artifact Repository is a collection of artifacts or resources used across application development lifecycle in WaveMaker platform. It allows for easy exploration and discovery of Artifacts available to the developer network. These artifacts include Prefabs, Project Shells, Project Templates and Themes. These Artifacts can be developed and published either:
- to a specific project, or
- to the individual workspace for a non-enterprise version, or
- to Enterprise Network for the enterprise version.
For more information, see Artifact Repository.
ii. Developer Roles
When multiple developers across the team are collaborating on large development projects, establishing a clear set of access control policies helps in effectively managing the deliverables. You can set fine-grained permissions for each developer at the project and platform level.
For more information, see Project User Management.

i. Number Widget
A new widget, Number, has been added which automatically detects the app locale and renders the number fields accordingly.
