- Calendar Control:

- Table Control:
- In some cases, incorrect column widths have been reported to the backend, which could cause layout issues.
- Radio Buttons:
- Radio buttons belonging to one group sometimes were behaving like being part of different groups.
- Html Control:
- Values of toggle buttons in Html forms changed by the user has not been reported correctly in case of using PostDATA.
- Deciding on the encoding of the Html content now is left to the Html rendering engine instead of overwriting with a potentially wrong encoding set by the communication layer.
- Desktop Integration:
- The mechanism to choose the appropriate external application to display data received from the backend via Data Provider has been improved.
- Enhanced Search:
- Editing the search string always used the insert mode, even when overwrite mode was active otherwise.
- Display of PDF based Content:
- A new version of the component to display PDFs fixes an issue related to saving the PDF to a local file.
- Linux only: The mechanism to generate the list of available fonts has been extended to search in more locations to prevent empty or incomplete documents to be displayed because of lacking fonts.
- Shortcut file:
- After opening a connection from a shortcut file including an SSO token, the file is now deleted. Before, old shortcut files no longer working piled up on the file system.
- Opening a connection from a shortcut file sometimes resulted in an inconsistent session state.
- Security:
- The dialog to change the trust level of a system failed to persist the chosen value in some languages.
- OS X only:
- A problem was fixed related to choosing the latest Java runtime on application launch.

Hello SAP GUI for Java users,
In addition to bug fixes, the quarterly updates of SAP GUI for Java 7.50 have been including many improvements like support for new OS versions, the switch to OpenJDK, support for Java 11, the inclusion of the Java runtime in the installer and just recently a new component for rendering PDF content.
Doing all this as part of updates ensured the fastest possible adoption, which was critical in particular in the case of OpenJDK to address the new license of the Oracle JDK.
All these changes were smooth and non-disruptive and therefore possible in a maintenance release.
Now, some necessary changes are on the way, that are disruptive. So a new major release is required.
Sap Gui For Java 7.50
The upcoming SAP GUI for Java 7.70 will require Java 11 as a minimum. This results in dropping support for all 32-bit environments, since SapMachine only supports 64-bit platforms. Also Java 11 does not provide a Java plug-in for browsers required for running Java applets in the browser. Therefore SAP GUI for Java 7.70 will not be able to run embedded in a browser.
But, this new release is not only for dropping anachronistic environments and functionality, but also for introducing new features.
- Themes
- Quartz: Quartz Light, Quartz Dark as well as the High Contrast Black (HCB) and High Contrast White (HCW) versions provide a Fiori-like user experience. While Quartz Light can be considered the successor of Belize, Quartz Dark is the first theme for working in low light environments.
The new Quartz HCB replaces the old High Contrast theme based on Signature Design for users with visual impairment. Users who need a high contrast theme but are not glared by a bright background also can use the new HCW theme. This theme is also helpful for working in bright environments like outdoor.

- Belize: The previous Fiori theme is included as well.
- SAP GUI for Java keeps the classic screen metrics and window layout for compatibility reasons.
- The outdated themes Corbu and the original High Contrast theme based on Signature Design have been removed.
- High Resolution Icons
- When using one of the new themes, for session windows and all local dialogs the icons are displayed with high resolution to support HiDPI displays.
- Installer
- In addition to the jar based installers, new installers with a native launcher stub are available, which no longer need a preinstalled Java runtime.
- Keyboard navigation:
- Keyboard navigation has been reviewed, some controls not having keyboard support before have been made accessible using the keyboard.
- Focus Visualization:
- Now also the dotted focus can display an animated focus change.
- The visualization of the focus in high contrast themes has been improved.
- Preferences Dialog
- The preferences dialog has been modernised for the new themes.
- Documentation:
- The manual has been reviewed and is available on the SAP Help Portal.
- A new document for keyboard access with a description for each UI element has been added.
