Titanium SDK 7.5.0.RC - 1 November 2018

About this release

Titanium SDK 7.5.0.RC is a minor release of the SDK, addressing high-priority issues from previous releases.

Note: building of proxy bindings was improved and a validation step was added to ensure that no clashes occur with the combinations of using @Kroll.method, @Kroll.getProperty, and @Kroll.setProperty annotations with properties listed in propertyAccessors. The build script may fail with a message describing the class and will propose a solution to prevent it based on the type of clash.

We also addressed an issue on Windows that fixes a UI rendering performance issue that was causing the UI to freeze.

As of this release, Titanium SDK 7.5.x will not be supported six months from 7.5.0.GA's release date. See Axway Appcelerator Deprecation Policy and Nominal Lifetimes documents for details.
