new Components and features:

Several new components have been added to version 3.3.1. The most anticipated are the new layout (layout) components, as well as new topics. The team also added a rich:colorpicker/label to the release package.

layout Components and topics

1. The use of rich:page/tags makes it easy to set up the page structure, such as Heaer, footer, content, and sidebar.
2. rich:layout/and rich:layoutpanel/Such cascading pages use Yahoo's UI CSS grid to provide more flexibility.

The team has also added a new concept theme (themes), which is a predefined and packaged layout, and can interact with the labels mentioned above. This makes it easy for the developer to debug the layout, just like using skins (skin) to replace the look feel (appearance). They also created Maven's archetype and CDK goals to simply create your own theme. For more details please refer to: Layout design wiki and richfaces development guide
