Release changes

This release contains some major changes and mainly for thread-safety
improvements level 1. Some internal code syntax is upgraded to Java 8
version as part of code optimization.

Bug fixes and improvements:-

Thread safety improvements: will be useful when using it as wffweb app
in a multi-threading manner.
Thread safety improvements are done in lot of needful places, Style
class is also made thread-safe, now Style.getCssProperties returns an
unmodifiable Collection to avoid any thread-safety loophole.
Replaced getBytes("UTF-8") method with getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
wherever possible for better optimization.
Fixed an existing deadlock bug while using appendChild method.

Major improvement/change for holdPush and unholdPush in BrowserPage

when holdPush/unholdPush method is called by multiple threads from the same browserPage instance, if the holdPush is called three times the unholdPush needs to be called three times to unhold the push (in previous versions one unholdPush call will unhold the push).

Optimizations and performance improvements:-

reduced the amount of sending data from server to client.
Optimized code for performance improvements

New feature methods in JsUtil: getJsObjectForFieldsValue( Map<String, Object> jsKeyAndElementId, String alternativeFunction),
getJsObjectForFieldsValue(Set<Object> ids, String alternativeFunction), getJsObjectForFieldsValueWithAltFun(String alternativeFunction, String... ids), getJsObjectForFieldsValue(Set<Object> inputIds, Set<Object> checkboxIds), getJsObjectForFieldsValue(Set<Object> inputIds, Set<Object> checkboxIds, String alternativeFunction)

New feature methods in Form:- getIdBasedJsObject(String functionName, Collection<String> onlyForTagNames), getIdBasedJsObject(String functionName), getIdBasedJsObjectPlus(String functionName, Collection<String> additionalTagNames).

New feature methods in AbstractHtml: getFirstChild, getChildAt,
prependChildren etc...

New features:-

New finder methods in TagRepository

Improvements

Performance improvements & parallel processing in TagRepository

Release changes :

New features:-

Some times it is required to update the attribute value state in the server but it may not be required to synch this change to the client.
Eg:- In the input type text, the value attribute's value is changed whenever the user changes its value and this value may need to be updated from the client to server but the server need not sync the value again to the client. In such case there needs a server method which doesn't synch value to the client so
Implemented setAttributeValue(boolean updateClient, String value) in needful attribute classes.
Implemented setValue(boolean updateClient, String value) in ClassAttribute, Rel and AutoComplete attribute classes. The updateClient represents whether to sync this attribute value to the client browser page.

Declared needful constants in AutoComplete

Improvements

Atomic operation improvements

Release changes :

New features:-

#46
A method resetHierarchy is implemented in AbstractHtml tag. It resets
the hierarchy of this tag so that it can be used in another instance of
BrowserPage. If a tag is used under a BrowserPage instance and the same
instance of tag needs to be used in another instance of BrowserPage then
the tag needs to be reset before use otherwise there could be some
strange behaviour in the UI. To avoid compromising performance such
usage never throws any exception. NB:- Child tag cannot be reset, i.e.
this tag should not be a child of another tag.

#45
Implementation for getIdBasedJsObject in Form tag class

Implemented BrowserPageContext#exists(BrowserPage) method which checks
the existence of the given BrowserPage instance in the context.

Declared constants STYLESHEET and NOOPENER Rel attribute class

Implemented some feature methods in Form tag class related to generating
js object string.

Implemented method to load all tag classes in TagRegistry
Implemented method to load all attribute classes in AttributeRegistry

Improvements and bug fixes

Fixed bug #44
WffBMObject was unable to parse when its value is an empty array. Eg:-
when parsing bm bytes of {'key' : []} WffBMObject was throwing exception
because an empty WffBMArray is represented by no bytes.

Fixed bug #43
Due to this bug the bm bytes received from client caused parsing error
at server side
Exception:- com.webfirmframework.wffweb.WffRuntimeException: Not a valid
Wff BM Object bytes

Fixed bug #42
The method AbstractHtml#appendChildren throws exception while using
NoTag in its argument tags.
