, and Tobias Sorn, from the UI5 development team.
Now that it was officially announced that wdi5 becomes the legitimate successor of UIVeri5, we want to talk with Volker about what is currently happening in the project and the roadmap planning for #wdi5.
Tobias is in charge of two new features or rather changes in the #UI5 framework, which were delivered with UI5 version 1.99. The first one concerns the parsing of numbers and its change to strict parsing. Tobias will tell you what this means and how this affects your UI5 app. As his second topic, Tobias will introduce the new configuration option to set timezones.
