Here's a list of the most noteworthy things in the milestone build 1.4 M4 which is available for download.

New scrollbars

A new client-side scrollbar implementation replaces the previously used native scrollbars in almost all widgets. It features a number of improvements:

It looks and behaves the same on every OS.

It enables basic scrolling for Tree and Table on the iPad.
It slightly improves scrolling for Tree and Table by automatically adapting to the clients performance.

The above features are just the ones that are new since the last milestone build. Summaries for earlier builds:
