Important behavioral change with capacitive touch screen!

With this version, devices with a capacitive touch will behave differently when sliding away from a button:

touch

When sliding away from a button, in earlier versions of the program, the button would stay pressed. Then, when the finger is released, the OnRelease event would be executed. Now, as soon as the finger leaves the button, the button becomes de-pressed WITHOUT the release event being executed!

 

Version check!

Starting with this version, a version check is implemented in the PClient. Only if the major and minor version of the used development version and PClient version are the same, the project will be loaded. Otherwise a red warning screen will be shown that informs of the version discrepancy.

 

Important disclaimer!

Please note that for i.MX6 devices, installing the OS 2.x will prohibit a downgrade back to OS 1.x!

Once an OS 2.x is installed, there is currently no way to downgrade back to OS 1.x!

 

Limitations in the demo version

The demo version is limited to the creation of up to 2 pages and up to 5 user-defined variables.

Additional pages or variables cannot be created.

If a project is opened that exceeds one of these limitations, the project can not be downloaded to the device.

Known issues

- If a picture graphic object has set the same image (only SVG or GIF) set for background image AND image to display at the same time, there can be painting problems on that page in the editor. The issue goes away with closing and opening the page again, and it is not an issue in the PClient.
