• AG-2946 - Filters Refactor - The simple provided filters (number, text, date) were part of the first grid release and the design was built on top of as new requirements were catered for. All the additional requirements made the original design difficult to maintain - the old design was coming to it's 'end of life'. For that reason the simple provided filters were rewritten from scratch. The has the benefits of a) implementing floating filters is now simpler; b) all provided filters now work in a more consistent way; c) code is easier to follow for anyone debugging through the ag-Grid code. The documentation for column filters was also rewritten from scratch to make it easier to follow.

Release 19.0.0 (7th Sept 2018)

• ag-Grid received a major overhaul of the Tool Panels in version 19.0.0. The old property 'showToolPanel' is no longer used and the Tool Panel is also not included by default. For more details see: Configuring the Side Bar.

Release 18.0.0 (12th Jun 2018)

• AG-1844 Grid is now laid out using CSS Flex. Before this the grid had it's own layout mechanism called Border Layout. This had the following disadvantages:
  • The grid had a timer (layout interval) where every 500ms it was checking the width and height of the grid and then laying out contents again if the width or height changed.
  • Extra DIV elements were required for the layout.
  The new mechanism no longer uses the layout interval so the grid is no longer polling every 500ms. The DOM is also now cleaner as the extra div's associated with the border layout are now gone.
• AG-1807 New strategy for Printing using auto-height.
• AG-1350 Added support for Row Spanning.
• AG-1768 Now possible to switch between Auto Height and Normal Height dynamically.
• AG-678 Grouping Footers now provides an option for a 'grand' total across all groups.
• AG-1793 When in pivot mode you can now include Pivot Row Totals
• AG-1569 To help clarify Row Model usage, we have renamed as follows:
  • In-Memory Row Model -> Client-side Row Model
  • Enterprise Row Model -> Server-side Row Model
• AG-865 The Server-side Row Model now preserves group state after sorting has been performed.

• AG-424 Text, Number and Date filters now support two filter conditions instead of just one. The user through the UI can decide which sort of logic to apply: 'AND'/'OR'

  This also means that the model for the filter changes when two conditions are applied.

  The ability to add an additional filter condition can be suppressed with filterParams.suppressAndOrCondition = true

  The documentation of each filter has been updated to reflect these changes accordingly:

  • text filter
  • number filter
  • date filter

• AG-1730 Deprecate for print, the same functionality can be achieved with domLayout: 'autoHeight'

• AG-1405 – Support for automatic text wrapping.
• AG-1682 - New guides for connecting Enterprise Row Model to Oracle and Enterprise Row Model to Apache Spark.
• AG-1675 – BREAKING CHANGE - The set filter model was changed to be consistent with other filter models. For backwards compatibility, this change can be toggled off using the grid property enableOldSetFilterModel. Both models will be supported for releases for the next 6 months. After this one major ag-Grid release will have the old model deprecated and then the following release will have it dropped.
