Why is it that only the bug number is sometimes given in the #orclapex patch sets lately?

Developers no longer know what it's about. The common MOS user is not authorized to query the details of almost any bug number (anymore).

#orclapex developer takes over the failed java project

[jamie @gnuman1979]

Like a glove.

@JuergenSchuster SQL Developer Web definitely has different strengths than i.e. the ability to edit PL/SQL packages via JET components and REST interface.
The alternative name "Database Actions" is much more appropriate for its use.

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

Luckily, the APEX development team didn't presented SQL Developer Web as the new Object Browser in #orclapex 23.1... the self-developed solution has much better usability for developers!

Today, we remember @joelkallman, a beacon of light who touched countless lives and inspired us to become the best versions of ourselves.

Join us in honoring his legacy and celebrating the warmth and enthusiasm he shared with all.

@dominic_giles Database 23c, the royal developer edition.

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

Beautiful! Nowadays it's just a varchar2(2000) variable.

this MSDos BBS intro released in 1993 has only 1993 bytes including AdLib sound 😲👍

@OliverLemm @dgielis #orclapex developer still using version 18

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JoepH The frontend dialogs of IG and IR have been adjusted and they don't differ that much anymore, or?

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

Deprecate Interactive Reports now!🔥

#orclapex

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JuergenSchuster Your customers are too pampered. If they are used to have SAP dialogs as well, then you could do whatever you want in your APEX apps😂

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JuergenSchuster I really appreciate the additional features of Interactive Grids. I won't go back to Interactive Reports anymore. 🙂

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

Shoutout to the designer of the "create page"-icons in #orclapex 22.1, these are really beautiful!!

It's been a long way😀

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JuergenSchuster @AljazMali @DenesKubicek Good QA should also exist on the customer side. Until the tests on the updated test environment are not successful, then the productive environment is not updated. That's all, no financial risk for the company.

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JuergenSchuster @AljazMali @DenesKubicek 22.1 already contained 169 bug fixes. So we're at over 400 bug fixes this year in regular releases (without the hot fixes in patch set bundles).

Apparently the "stabilization" of APEX is in full swing. Why always complain?😉

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@mennooo It was actually addressed to the participants of the meetup. Normally they spread the news about new APEX versions faster than lightning on Twitter 😆

Have a great trip through Scandinavia!

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@mennooo No news from norwegian twitter people today?

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@vas_stergioulis Bug or feature, @Timan25 ?

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

@JuergenSchuster @orclapexworld Accessibility affects more than 1% of the population. A smaller-sized, greyed-out label in floating items can easily cause readability issues (for old guys like us).
But honestly.. I (also) CSS-styled my floating items to the old look🤷‍♂️

[Robert Schaefer @SchaeferRob]

Floating items in Vita theme looked a way better in earlier versions (before #orclapex 21.1).

Presumably to meet accessibility standards? Fair enough. But why weren't these changes applied to the Redwood theme then?

[Vasilis Stergioulis @vas_stergioulis]

Hey @OracleAPEX 22.1 field values in Vita theme are not easy to distinguish from floating labels especially in empty fields and values in select lists are in too small font, same size as label. Redwood Lite has it better #orclapex
