Third-Party Library Upgrades
Third-Party Library Upgrades
The Handlebars.js library has been upgraded from version 3.0.3 to 4.0.5. If you access the parent contexts in your Handlebars templates, make sure that you pass the compat flag when compiling:
Handlebars.compile(source, {
compat: true
});
This change has also been applied to the OpenUI5 versions that are still in maintenance (1.28, 1.38., 1.44).
QUnit version 2.3.2 has been added (module sap.ui.thirdparty.qunit-2, resources sap/ui/thirdparty/qunit-2.js).

Support Assistant and Other Support Tools
Support Assistant and Other Support Tools
The new Support Assistant tool enables application developers to check whether they have built their applications in accordance with the best practices for building OpenUI5 apps. The tool uses a set of predefined rules to check all aspects of an application, for example, accessibility, performance, data-binding, and more. Support Assistant is integrated into One Page Acceptance Tests (OPA5) and can be used as part of OPA tests.
We have also redesigned the other support tools, Technical Information Dialog and Diagnostics, reworked the Troubleshooting documentation section under Essentials, and created a Troubleshooting Tutorial tutorial.

Feature
Reuse Components
Reuse Components
You now declare reuse components in the descriptor for applications (manifest.json). A new factory function has been introduced for creating reuse component instances within the context of the current component. You can extend apps easily on the component level by replacing the usage of a reuse component with a variant that modifies the manifest.json values for the reuse component.
You don't have to migrate old applications to the new logic to keep them working. But if you want to benefit from further improvements with regards to component loading and performance, as well as component extensibility (replace reuse component), you should consider updating the component usage accordingly.
There is a new theme parameter tool for finding the best-fitting semantic LESS parameter for a new control. With this tool you can easily search, filter, and preview theme parameters.
With the tool, you can also preview all supported SAP themes and find information about the semantic parameter structure.
Displays a summarized list of different types of messages. The MessageView is used to show the contents of sap.m.MessagePopover, but it can also be used in other container controls like sap.m.Dialog.
sap.m.MessageView also allows grouping of messages by setting the property groupItems and defining a groupName for each item. For more information, see the API Reference and the samples.

Feature
OpenUI5 OData V4 Model
OpenUI5 OData V4 Model
The new version of the OpenUI5 OData V4 model introduces the following features:
Automatic determination of $select and $expand parameters for OData V4 requests by setting autoExpandSelect in the model settings to true.
Automatic loading of "cross-service references" (a service that references metadata from other documents) by the OData V4 model when metadata from the referenced document is needed.
Support of the V4-specific lambda operators any and all on collections with new filter operators FilterOperator.All and FilterOperator.Any and it is possible to create entities on relative bindings
Caution:
Incompatibility Due to Bug Fix
The following bug has been reported: If you call the sap.ui.model.odata.v4.Context#getObject() or the sap.ui.model.odata.v4.Context#requestObject() methods without a parameter, the expected and documented behavior is that the same result is returned as if the parameter sPath="" had been specified. Due to the bug, however, the return value wraps the expected output that can then only be accessed via .value[0], for example oContext.getObject().value[0].
If you have used this workaround, your application will break starting with OpenUI5 version 1.44.6.
Solution: If your application needs to run with both the fixed and unfixed versions of OpenUI5, specify the sPath="" parameter, for sPath parameter. In both cases, you must not use the workaround with .value[0].
Restriction:
Due to the limited feature scope of this version of the OpenUI5 OData V4 model, check that all required features are in place before developing applications. Check the detailed documentation of the features, as certain parts of a feature may be missing. While we aim to be compatible with existing controls, some controls might not work due to small incompatibilities compared to sap.ui.model.odata.(v2.)ODataModel, or due to missing features in the model (such as tree binding). This also applies to controls such as TreeTable and AnalyticalTable, which are not supported together with the OpenUI5 OData V4 model. The interface for applications has been changed for easier and more efficient use of the model. For a summary of these changes, see Changes Compared to OData V2 Model.
You can now extend the testing capabilities of OPA with your own extensions. For more information, see Extensions for OPA5 and the API Reference.

You can now set specific date or date ranges as non-working days by using the new type of the sap.ui.unified.DateTypeRange class, sap.ui.unified.CalendarDayType.NonWorking.
With a new overflow concept that allows more flexibility in the layout of the tile designs, generic tiles are displayed in LineMode like list items when the screen width is less than 450px. With a screen width greater than 450px, the tiles are no longer truncated and the complete text is shown in a wrapped in-line design.
Compact and Cozy content densities are available for small (< 450px) and large (> 450px) screens. For more information, see the API Reference and the samples.

You can now expand the grouping of overlapping appointments in the months view of the sap.m.PlanningCalendar. You can do this by setting the new property groupAppointmentsMode to sap.ui.unified.GroupAppointmentsMode.Expanded.
sap.m.TextArea controls with a limited text length can determine how to handle text that exceeds that length. By setting showExceededText=true, you can decide if those characters are visible or cut. The text area changes its value state and shows a counter of the extra characters when the threshold is reached. For more information, see the API Reference and the sample.
