This page includes all IntuiFace Player for
Tablets and IntuiFace Player for Kiosk -
Android release notes starting with Version 4.3.5.
All known Limitations can be found here.

5.7.2
7-December-2016
Replaced "Error Code 0" with a more actionable message. The
cause of Error Code 0 is typically the inability of a tablet to
access the Internet. Thought of changing the error name to "Can you
hear me now?" but reconsidered.
Fill property is now respected when the
Show action is used. We teach every aspect of our
software to show respect.
Drawing mode no longer permits underlying
assets and collections to see and react to touchpoints.
Vertical alignment of Text Input asset is now properly handled.
That's right, it vertically aligns.
Asset Grid collection with two columns used in conjunction with
a datafeed now properly handles the Last index
reached trigger.
Correction of 4 bugs affecting the Excel interface asset.
6 additional minor bugs fixed.
5.7.0
3-November-2016
Enhancements
Scroll
Collection: Place assets and collections on a large canvas
visible through a window. Move the canvas in any direction with
swipe or mouse gestures, revealing different parts of the canvas
within the window. It's the microwave of IntuiFace: you didn't know
how much you needed it until you tried it.
Toggle
Button sets: Enhancement of the Toggle Button control,
automatically permitting one and only one Toggle Button within a
set of buttons to be checked. Yes, show-off, it's like a radio
button.
Google Analytics Connector: Automatically load data points
collected by the
data tracking feature of IntuiFace into any one or more of your
Google Analytics properties.
Fixes
minor bugs fixed
NOTE
Dropbox will
not be available as a cloud storage option for new IntuiFace
accounts or new storage needs. Those already using Dropbox for

Storage, FTP/FTPS and Amazon AWS/S3.
