PITTSBURGH, June 30, 2023 - GrapeCity, a global provider of award-winning enterprise software development tools, is pleased to announce the Wijmo 2023 v1 release. This release includes React 18 Strict Mode support, significant accessibility enhancements, dynamic culture support, and more. Wijmo 2023 v1 is now available as an upgrade for existing customers and a download for new customers at GrapeCity.com.
In the previous Wijmo release, the team added support for React 18, but Strict Mode still had some limitations and warnings. With Wijmo 2023 v1, support for Strict Mode in React 18 is now available. With Strict Mode, enterprise software engineers can find common bugs during development. Read the release announcement to learn more about Wijmo's support for Strict Mode in React 18.
The team has been working closely with its valued customers to fine-tune accessibility in Wijmo, especially in more complex features. Some improvements in the 2023 v1 release are: revised Selector checked state announcements, upgrades to how screen readers interpret visually hidden columns, a new ariaLabel property added to FlexGrid for captioning the grid, and much more. Along with these accessibility updates in Wijmo, the team has also fixed other minor bugs related to component behaviors in different screen readers.

Modern JavaScript applications need to be able to adapt and re-render quickly. There has always been support for globalization in Wijmo, but the culture could not be swapped at runtime in specific scenarios. To fully support this, the Wijmo team has added a changeCulture API that allows JavaScript developers to switch cultures at runtime, which will cause the components to re-render as needed to reflect the new culture. Explore the release article to learn more about dynamic culture support in Wijmo 2023 v1.
"We are pleased to share Wijmo 2023 v1 with our customers," said Product Manager Chris Bannon. "The updates to Wijmo demonstrate the product's ability to keep up with the latest technology. We hope they inspire our customers to build some amazing apps."
