Now available for download is TIBCO's General Interface 3.6.2 service pack release.
Here's a summary of what's new in 3.6.2 from the release notes:
General Interface Template Language
The new template language enables you to create custom, re-usable components by building on your knowledge of HTML and JavaScript. Using the template language, you can convert a single snippet of HTML—a widget—into a re-usable component. This means that if you’ve developed user interface components that combine HTML and JavaScript code, you can convert the functional user interface HTML elements into a General Interface template for custom usage.CDF Form Mapping
General Interface 3.6.2 introduces a new CDF class that enables developers to map a CDF document in the local cache to on-screen form fields—without the need to author additional JavaScript code. The new class, jsx3.gui.CDF, is a container that knows how to bind the form fields it contains to values in a CDF document.JSON Mapping
The General Interface Mapping utility now supports mapping to JSON-based services. Similar to mapping to WSDL and XML, the new JSON mapping feature provides a visual tree to which the developer can assign mapping rules. JSONP is supported by default, which gets around cross-domain security problems when accessing data from other sites.
