Put App Documents in the System File Browser
Codename One adds a read‑only DocumentProvider API that lets apps publish a virtual file tree to iOS Files and Android’s storage picker. The tree is defined with `DocumentNode` objects, can include remote‑only entries, and is shared via an App Group container. The iOS extension runs in a separate process, so the model is serialized and read independently; Android uses the same model inside the ap…

Codename One now supports true native desktop windows via a new `Window` class that separates per‑surface state (paint queue, input routing, native peers) from the global `Display`. The change adds a `PaintSurface` abstraction, platform‑specific window back‑ends (AWT/Swing, Direct2D, GTK, UIWindowScene), and a migration path for components that assumed a single `Form`. Initial release has some UI…

ProgramDistill is a new benchmark that automatically extracts 1,975 replay‑verified feature behaviors from 26 real web apps, builds 4,063 coding‑agent tasks, and measures how well state‑of‑the‑art agents (e.g., GPT‑6 Astra, Claude Opus 5) can reconstruct full or partial applications, revealing steep drops in success as restoration depth grows.

Codename One added a daily automated scan of Apple and Google deprecation notices, linking each notice to concrete builder artifacts before work is created. The system caught the Android 16 back‑gesture change and enabled a permission‑free ContactPicker, turning policy shifts into repeatable, evidence‑backed patches.

Codename One adds @AppIntent annotations that let a static Java method be exposed as a Siri, Spotlight, or Android shortcut. The build‑time processor generates native declarations, a reflection‑free dispatch table, and validates the intent metadata. Handlers can be headless, accept typed parameters, return results, and be invoked internally via Intents.invoke(). Entities enable system‑driven disa…

Codename One now lets you build an Apple Watch or Wear OS companion app from a single codebase by specifying a watchMain class and optional watchStandalone flag. The new WearableConnection API offers putData, sendMessage, and transferFile primitives for asynchronous phone‑watch communication, with simulator support for both platforms.
