v.5.5.0
7-June-2016
Enhancements
The Hide and Show actions can
apply the opposite effect to all other items in the same layer or
same Group/Pinboard collection
Use the new Move to front and Send to
back actions to change the visual stacking of items
on-screen. (In Composer's Edit Mode you can also move things in the
scene to the front or back of their layer/Group/Pinboard using the
right-click menu.) Call it 'z order' to impress your friends.
Webcam
asset permits camera selection (if more than one is available)
and resolution (320x240, 640x480 or best available for the
webcam)
Ability to disable the next and previous swipe gestures of the
Flip Chart
collection. The old method was to yell "Darn!" and swipe back
to the original item.
Improved organization of the Triggers and Actions panel - as
well as of the
binding panel - should make it a lot easier for all of you who
don't read manuals to figure out how to work with triggers, actions
and binding.
8 additional, minor usability enhancements
Fixes
Improved text rendering in Text assets and Buttons when using
line wrap, justify, & margins (in Buttons) and when text
contains multiple consecutive space characters.
YouTube
asset no longer displays YouTube's 'similar videos' selector
when the active video is finished. It's none of your audience's
business!
“Clear column filter” action for
Excel works again
Binding for output of the
Linear Converter interface asset works again. Congrats to those
who noticed!
Keyboard 'Close' button is again properly displayed
X, Y and Z coordinates of a manipulated 3D Model
asset are now the same during Edit Mode and Play Mode in
Composer
Rounded, translucent rectangle displayed in the background of a
Video
asset is no longer displayed when starting a video. We were
displaying the Play button to be helpful but it was kind of obvious
that the video was playing.
An orange veil is no longer displayed in Composer's Edit Mode
in the scene over Text assets and Buttons when their content is
bound. The veil is only displayed when clicking on these assets to
edit their content.
On Windows running .NET Framework v.4.6 or v.4.6.1: If Player
is launched while the touchscreen is off / not connected, touch
events will again work after the touchscreen is connected / turned
on.
NOTE: In Player for Windows, to get access to the mouse after
touching the screen, the user must right-click once
When drag-and-dropping
PowerPoint projects onto Composer, you will now be warned by a
popup message that all running instances of PowerPoint will be
killed if import proceeds. (PowerPoint will not be killed if using
Composer's
formal import function.)
12 additional minor bug fixes.
6 crash conditions were corrected.
Also:
We've discontinued our Instagram support. For information, see
this posting in our User Community.
v.5.4.1
16-May-2016
Enhancements
Croatian keyboard. It’s all digital so this stuff
isn’t hard to get.
URL Broadcast is no longer biased to .com so it can work with
any domain extension, including .edu, .info, .net, .biz and
.gov.
Fixes
Hidden YouTube
asset will no longer autoplay. “Hear me!” it said
but it had to wait its turn.
12 minor bug and usability issues fixed. Back off bugs.
Multiple corrections in Player for Tablet/Kiosk. The word
‘correction’ is a nice way of saying bugs. These
corrections are listed
here
v.5.4.0
22-Apr-2016
Enhancements
Design for accessibility, because 1 in 7 people worldwide
possess some kind of disability
Text-to-speech: Generate speech for both static and dynamic
text. (Windows only) You should check it out; you’re a bit of
a mumbler.
Keyboard triggers: Key presses can act as
triggers for any IntuiFace actions. For example, use arrow keys
for navigation. The keyboard is no longer just a pretty face.
Gestures for static assets: Any onscreen gesture initiated on a
static asset can act as a
trigger for any IntuiFace actions. Don’t overdo it or
it’ll look like you’re massaging the screen.
Support for beacons using the iBeacon™ and
Eddystone™ protocols. Why care? It means your experiences can
know what is brought near them; you can then do something about it.
Application notification (i.e. beacon detection): Capture
unique ID of any beacon brought near a running experience and use
that ID to trigger specific actions, show specific data, etc. This
is very cool stuff.
Proximity detection: Like application notification but trigger
occurs only if the beacon is moved a specified distance from the
running experience. For example, show information for items lifted
away from a shelf. Freak out your guests!
URL broadcast: Running IntuiFace experiences act like
Eddystone-URL beacons, broadcasting URLs for user-selected items.
These URLs can be picked up by any mobile device supporting
Eddystone-URL - e.g. Android tablets. Broadcasting is available on
Windows only. Sorry other platforms!
New
value converters for binding. However, still no way to turn
lead into gold….
Is Equal To: Compares two values and returns true or false.
Found in the list of
Math & Logic binding converters. It’s nice to get a
black-and-white answer once in a while.
URL Shortener: Converts any URL into a 16 character URL. Very
useful for the URL broadcast feature mentioned above. They’re
also cute.
Default Web browser asset now stores cookies as files, enabling
continuity between multiple Player sessions. We’ll never
forget you!
Major performance improvements in Player for Tablets on the
iPad. We’re squeezing every drop out of that stingy
platform.
Fixes
Fixed a memory leak related to JavaScript-based interface
assets and binding converters. IntuiFace Player will be much more
stable when IAs and converters are used. Nobody likes leakage!
Experiences in portrait mode have now correct thumbnails in
Composer and on Management Console. (We’ve also put portraits
in experience mode…. Ok, not really.)
"Allow navigation" property of the Web
Browser asset works again. We told it to get a job!
Many smaller usability corrections. Can you live with the
mystery?
Four crash conditions have been eliminated.
Gangster-style.
NOTE
RTSP support has been removed from the Video asset. IntuiFace
continues to support the MMS and HLS Internet-based video streaming
protocols.
v.5.3.3

renaming files by simply changing upper/lower case letters into
their opposite.
10 additional minor issues are fixed.
4 crash conditions are corrected.
v.5.3.1
24-Feb-2016
Enhancements
Weather Interface Asset (Weather IA) can now display up to 15
days of weather forecast. To access more than 5 days, users must
request their own API key from World Weather Online. To request an
API key, read
this information.
Instagram Interface Asset (Instagram IA) will now return
results for only the exact match of an account query if an exact
match exists. If there is no exact match, the IA will return
results for approximations of the account query.
Fixes
Grouping assets (Ctrl+g) no longer clears memory of steps for
Undo (Ctrl+z).
“Fill direction” property of the Asset Grid
collection no longer resets when selecting this collection in
Edit Mode.
“Index in focus” property of the Flip Chart
collection is now correctly represented in Edit Mode.
Corrected crash condition that occurred when an Excel
spreadsheet - referenced by an
Excel Interface Asset - contained formulas in the first row.
Composer will now display an error message.
Corrected crash condition that occurred when running Composer's
“Player for Tablets and Kiosks” Preview Mode on 32-bit
Windows PCs.
Additional 6 edge-case crash conditions were fixed.
v.5.3.0
15-Feb-2016
Enhancements
Brand new rendering engine for the Web
Browser asset. Based on CefSharp, it offers complete HTML5,
CSS3 and WebGL support. Also much faster and more reliable then the
older Web Browser asset.
NOTE: Preexisting experiences will continue to use the legacy
browser. To use the new rendering engine in preexisting
experiences, you must explicitly change the Web Browser asset
container from the "Legacy" style to the "Default" style.
Free experience storage option, aka
IntuiFace Cloud Storage. This will be the default option when
publishing an experience. Zero configuration required. You can
still use your own Amazon S3, Dropbox or FTP site as alternatives.
Composer Free: 1GB free storage
Composer Pro: 3GB free storage
Composer Enterprise: 20GB free storage
New YouTube
asset to simplify the inclusion of YouTube-hosted videos in
your IntuiFace experiences
NOTE: Supported on Windows, iPad, Android and webOS.

magnetism applies to both item center points and edges as well
as to rulers and scene borders.

Entered/Exited events. Information
here
Composer Free: Play Mode is now limited to 8 minutes.
Information
here
Note:
Composer Free users are required to update to Version 5.3.
v.5.2.7
03-Feb-2016
NOTE: For Windows PCs, to correct some
performance issues and to improve performance elsewhere, we took
advantage of new capabilities and fixes in Microsoft .NET Framework
4.6.1. Make sure you are running this latest version of the
framework. Go here
to download the installer for .NET Framework Version 4.6.1. Install
it before running Composer Version 5.2.7.
Enhancements
In Composer’s Play Mode or when running an experience in
Player for Windows, use of a touch screen no longer prevents use of
a mouse. You can now go back and forth between fingers and the
mouse to interact with IntuiFace-based content.
NOTE: .NET Framework Version 4.6.1 is required for
this fix to be applied. You can get the latest version of the
framework here.
"DPI" property for the Document asset now offers preselected
options instead of a slider to eliminate multiple, unnecessary
document conversions.
Additional minor usability enhancements.
Fixes
ESC key will again exit both Composer in Play Mode and a
running experience in Player for Windows under all circumstances.
NOTE: .NET Framework Version 4.6.1 is required for
this fix to be applied. You can get the latest version of the
framework here.

the Group and
Pinboard
collections.
Enhanced Excel support
Edit Excel-based workbook data - accessed via the
Excel interface asset - in real-time by opening spreadsheets
from within Composer. Add/rename columns, add rows and change data
without breaking the existing bindings used to display your data.
See
here for details.
Create
Excel interface assets on the fly by drag-and-dropping Excel
workbooks (and, optionally, associated graphic files and folders)
into Composer.
Open the folder containing the workbook referenced by an Excel
interface asset directly from within Composer.
Improved experience downloading for deployments
The same folder is now used for both manual experience
downloads in Player and
automated downloads remotely initiated by Management Console.
This avoids data duplication and reduces internet bandwidth
usage.
If file pathnames are too long - due to OS limitations - an
explicit warning message is displayed by both Player for manual
downloads and Management Console for remote deployments.
In Management Console, you can now specify, for each Player,
whether it should automatically run an experience when started
manually. For details, see
here.
Undo / redo is now much quicker when manipulating collections
containing multiple items.

locally saved media files. By "very large" we mean as many as 3k or
more.
