It’s been quite on the Prado front for a while but there are some very big things going on now that you will want to know about.

Knut not content with him and tof creating enough unit and functional test to chock a donkey is making a push to create a real component repository for Prado. Knut has put down some ideas that were discussed at PradoCamp and is looking for feedback from everyone on this topic.

On a very similar note schmunk is trying to create a spec for Prado Portlets. There is some great discussion and very interesting ideas so take a look.

Want to know how much Prado would have cost to make if you were paying someone? Well Knut let us know that ohloh has updated there site so now you can find that out, as well as some other interesting stats on Prado.

Looks like we have a new component TActiveHiddenField, written by Carl G. Mathise. I’m sure this will be used by people who want to send data back and forth via (Ajax) callback so that non Prado JavaScript code and do something with it. I personally thing this is a bit of a hack way to do this but I’ll leave that for another post on how I solve the problem.

In the forums maisam and others have been working on the problem of active paging in a grid. Check out the thread make sure you read to the end a lot developments have happened.

Did you know you can run multiple queryies in a single SQL Map, well I didn’t but you can. Well it seems ghesil know but was going one step further and trying to make two inserts with the second statement inserting the newly created record id of the first statement in Postgres. He worked it out heres how.

Prado has had lots of unit and functional tests added lately it is by far the area with the most activity in the project right now. It seems that they are looking for someone to help with the effort. Knut needs you! Knut is the one writing most of the tests and is willing to mentor any willing to lend a hand. I think this is a great effort and will really push Prado to another level in stability reputation and getting features resealed even more quickly.
