TL;DR
UX RADAR is a process of wrapping design with architecture & research, including: Formative User Research, UX & Product Architecture, Design, Architecture Validation, and User Research Testing.
First, what problem is RADAR solving?
Angular 4 virtual scroll, markdown text editor, sticky data table headers, animations & more come to Covalent in 1.0.0-beta.7
tl;dr: Virtual scroll wrapper for any element, Markdown text editor, Data table sticky headers & virtual scroll, Dynamic Form features, Animation utilities, Angular 4.3 & Material Beta 10 support (also, our last beta!)
We’ve abstracted the virtual scroll to a wrapper component that can be used around any element!
Data Tables take center stage in Covalent 1.0.0-beta.4
tl;dr: Lots of Data Table features, Loader async/boolean support, new Messages component, Pagination jump ahead features, and Angular v4 loading optimization (also Datepicker from Angular-Material beta.5!)
Important note: To enforce optimized bundle size & lazy loading, the CovalentCoreModule has been removed so you only import what you need (it’s a good thing).
The Covalent Data Table is one of the most widely used component in Teradata products so we’re focusing efforts around popular feature requests such as keyboard support for tabbing & selection, hiding columns, customizing search options and click events on rows. …

We are thrilled to announce that Covalent is now fully compatible with Angular v4! Kudos to the Angular team for working tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition from Angular v2 to Angular v4 (what happened to v3? read more here). Notice the reference to “v4” and “version 4”? The project has also rebranded as simple “Angular” since the new release plan delivers a new version every 6 months. The only real required change for our users is changing <template></template> to <ng-template></ng-template>. …
