The Sencha team is excited to announce the latest release of Sencha Ext JS 7.3! Although the pandemic has disrupted the entire world’s ‘normal’ workflow, the Sencha team held strong and has been working relentlessly toward getting this quarterly release in the hands of our community. 

This release mainly focuses on feature quality improvements, performance and usability enhancements in both the modern and classic toolkit. We’ve added many API examples and some ready-to-use templates for quick reuse. Through each release, we are committed to continually listening to your feedback as we improve the product experience, and strengthen the quality and functionality of the product.
