Release per March 11, 2022: InPlace v0.14.0

InPlace Version v0.14.0 delivers the following milestones in the project Practical Tools to Build the Context Web as supported by NLnet:

• Smart field controls (Milestone T6).

The controls in the milestone's title refer to components built with React and React-Bootstrap. They construct html form elements on InPlace's screens to input data. They are 'smart' in the sense that

• their shape depends on the range type as specified in the Perspectives model. For example, for a Boolean value a checkbox will be shown; for a Date value a calendar, etc.
• they validate the values entered by the user against a set of constraints:
  • the value may be required;
  • the value may have a lower and upper bound;
  • the value may be restricted to a limited set of alternatives (an enumeration);
  • the value may have a required minimum and/or maximum length in term of characters;
  • the value must match a regular expression.

These controls function in both a form (shown for a functional role) and for a table (for a relational role).

Major changes

• The smart field controls.
• Perspectives Grid. The grid has been completely re-implemented in order to integrate with the Smart Field Controls. As a side effect, it has become slimmer in terms of code and is constructed faster on-screen.

Minor changes

• A new Property Range type, Email, was introduced.
