[edit] New Features
- Copy Form: In specific cases, you can easily copy existing forms via a clipboard metaphor. See the following documentation to view the specific use cases for this functionality (e.g., only into the same class or subclass)
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_Copy_Form - Code Commenting: You can now comment out/disable lines and code blocks.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_the_Code_Toolbar - Chooser Revamp: We’ve redesigned the interaction of the “chooser” dialog (where you pick types for fields etc.). We’ve tried to bring to the forefront more commonly used items so that there’s less clicking. The chooser itself is a little smarter about where it defaults to. Expect further enhancements to this in the next release as well.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_the_Chooser - Logging to Event Viewer: While certainly not complete debugging, we’re making our first “deposit” on adding debugging capability. A first step at this is the ability to add your own logging statements to the EventViewer (found in the bottom left corner of the Builder). There are plenty more additions and potential changes coming along these lines. We’d appreciate feedback from the community as we continue development on this valuable but complex feature.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_Logging - Image Size Determined Programmatically: After uploading an image as a resource for a project you’re working with, the image sizes are determined programmatically.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Working_with_Images - DesignGroup Filtering: We’ve enhanced the DesignGroup functionality to do better filtering so that groups from which you’ve withdrawn or been suspended no longer show up in your DesignGroup lists. Also groups to which you’ve newly invited will not be visible until you click the Join button for that DesignGroup.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_DesignGroups#DesignGroup_Filtering - User Account State Management: We’ve added the ability to reset your password should you forget it.http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/How_To_:_Resetting_your_Password
- Known Issue: You’ll need to go into the preferences tab and re-answer your security questions before you’ll be able to use this feature if you choose to use the “security answer” as the method to reset your password. If for one reason or another you need to reset your password and can’t answer that question, you can still reset your password via email.
- AppointmentList: We’ve added expanded browser support for the AppointmentList control for managing a familiar calendar like interface. Go ahead and play around with it. Expect significant documentation and example code for this control in the coming releases.
http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Control_:_AppointmentList - Calendar: We’ve added expanded browser support for the Calendar List. Go ahead and play around with it. Expect significant documentation and example code for this control in the coming releases.

[edit] System Discoverability and Usability
Ongoing Control Polishing: We’ve begun an effort to take a very complete functionality pass at all of our controls. This effort is leading to a couple of things that will do a lot for the discoverability and usability of our system. It will lead to more complete and accurate documentation. It will give developers many smaller example code objects that can facilitate a more discoverable system architecture. It will also help unearth a lot of bugs in how our controls work – leading to a much more stable and usable system. This prioritized effort has lead to the resolution of several bugs, some of which include:
- Editing the fixed size of a LinkLabel now resizes the control in the design view
- Many controls now have their border setting “on” by default
- The HorizontalBox no longer clips a StyleButton if it contains one
- The Radio control no longer loses its “when clicked” value
We’ve completed our expanded documentation and example code for List and Dynamic form. The sample code for these controls will be made available on the Start Page in the next couple of days. The start page has a link to view the expanded documentation.
[edit] Bug Fixes
In each release we always fix a good number of prioritized bugs. Often, the majority of these fixes are underneath the covers so to speak, but here’s a snapshot of some of the more visible bugs fixed in this release:
- Multi-Column List sorting properly now when you click on a column header
- Statistics for Builder usage should be more accurate now (In the preferences tab)
- List text box not showing “XX” in simulate on Firefox
- Float and Double Types handling accuracy better with larger values
- “Default” property working for “OK” button
- UI Changes to Preferences and Staging Tabs
- We’ve resolved several “un-planned exit” scenarios (OK, fine . . . crashers) around:
- How Vars are saved with Functions
- High load scenarios
- Nested conditions
- Importing the sample apps
- When passing the wrong data type to ConverObjectToXML
- Getting locked out after entering a bad password
[edit] Known Issues
- Using a '#' char in a Solution name prevents form simulation from working
- Workaround: For now, don’t use a “#” character in your solution names
- Deployment “update” not working
- Workaround: Create a new Deployment from the new Post, rather than updating an existing deployment to use the new Post.
