#NOTOC

This page includes the release notes for Intuiface Player on all platforms other than Windows: iPad, Android, Chrome, Samsung SMART Signage, LG webOS Smart Displays.

A separate Release Notes exists for Player on Windows because the underlying Player technology on Windows is uniquely different from the technology used on all other platforms.

This page covers release notes starting with Version 6.0.0. See also Release notes for Version 5.x.

All known limitations can be found here.

For Windows PCs, see our Release Notes for Intuiface Composer and Player on Windows.

6.3.15

6-Jun-2019

Enhancements:

• A crowd pleaser: Virtual and physical keyboard interactions will now reset inactivity timers. “Typing is an activity!” said everyone.

Fixes:

• ChromeOS: Remotely rebooting a Chrome OS device using the Google Admin console will no longer cause the device to enter standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
• Other minor bug fixes

 

6.3.14

23-May-2019

Fixes:

• Corrected a z-index problem affecting experience layers. In some situations, elements were not rendered on the scene when using only foreground experience layers.
• iOS: Fixed a rendering issue impacting scene background images set with "Fit Behavior - Fill" property.
• Binding the "current url" of a web browser works again. 

 

6.3.13

15-May-2019

Enhancements:
We've collected a number of time-saver triggers and actions in this release. Enjoy!

•    Asset Grid collection: “First item reached” trigger
•    Toggle Button: “Is pressed” and “Is released” triggers
•    Web Browser asset – “Page loaded” trigger
•    Video and YouTube assets – “Toggle play/pause” action

Major update to Player packaging. See intuiface.com/release-history for details

Fixes:

• The Rectangle asset and text in the Button control are no longer deformed when the container dimensions are changed during runtime
• LG webOS: Player can again be installed on webOS 4 devices. That's one lousy bug. Sorry about that, webOS users!
• Android: Beacon Detection interface asset works again.

6.3.11

12-Mar-2019

• Corrected a z-index issue exclusively affecting experience layers. In certain situations, experience layers were not respecting the defined Z order. (That’s the order of content along the z-axis, the lesser known member of the x, y, z axis triplets. But don’t feel bad for z because it’s super famous vs. the fourth dimensional w-axis. We’re working on it.)
• Attempts to relaunch a downloaded experience in the Experiences Panel will no longer return the terribly mistaken Error 7060.
• Improved clarity of the message returned when there is not enough file memory on the local device.
• Fixed a rendering issue for buttons using Gradient Colors. Good for you who’s using gradients! They look awesome….
• Corrected an issue impacting the Memory Game sample experience. Oh, almost forgot, big thanks to Bobby K for reporting the bug!
• The “Total output size” property of the Share via E-mail – Hosted interface asset now returns the correct value.
• Android: The Webcam Asset works again on Android devices. Sheesh, sorry about that.
• ChromeOS: ChromeOS in Kiosk mode will no longer enter standby mode when the devices are being Administrated via Chrome Management Console.

6.3.9

28-Feb-2019

iPad and Android:

• Fixed an issue preventing download of an updated experience
• Other minor bug fixes.

11-Feb-2019

iPad:

• Fixed an issue preventing playback on iPad devices of an experience shared using a public url .
• Other minor bug fixes.

 

06-Dec-2018

• Bindings on an Asset name will now return the name, not the Asset’s file-path. That was an oddly specific mistake on our part.
• Fixed a bug preventing the loading of a Document Asset after using "Set content" actions with Excel as a data source.
• Fixed several issues preventing the correct functionality of our Drawing Tools.
• Fixed an issue causing the Slideshow Collection to disappear when the "Go to index" action was used.
• Use of parentheses in an Excel filename no longer prevents an experience from being loaded. NOTE: Try to stick with alphanumeric characters in file naming. Anyway, you're not as creative as you think.
• Corrected an issue preventing proper filtering of an Excel worksheet.

Android:

• Introduced new popup for Android 5.0 and above. The popup requires access to take snapshots of the screen. These snapshots are being used to monitor the device in the share and deploy console.
  Preventing Intuiface Player from taking snapshots will prevent the Share and Deploy console from showing what is displayed on the device.

• Android Player is no longer blocked by a black screen when used for the very first time following installation. We called this the peek-a-boo feature but it proved unpopular.

ChromeOS:

• Fixed a bug preventing the correct functionality of an experience after leaving it for the Experiences panel. We told it not to take things so personal.

iOS:

• Fixed a bug that prevented playback of a locally stored experience while being offline after updating the Player.

6.3.4

05-Nov-2018

• Minor bug fixes

6.3.3

11-Oct-2018

• Performance of the Experiences Panel has been dramatically improved 
• The position identified by the “Drag away from" trigger has been dragged back to the correct value.
• Player got loopy after changing scenes hundreds of times in a single run if that scene navigation was triggered by an interface asset. Scene changes would occur with increasing frequency even if not called. It's more of a niche issue than it may sound but still, it's a no-no so we fixed it.
• Manually adding an Intuiface experience to an Android device had stopped working. We decided not to fix it….. Kidding! It’s fixed.
• The URL returned by TinyURL for the URL Shortener value converter generated the wrong URL. Considering that URL generation is the only reason this interface asset existed, this was a sad state of affairs. It's back to being accurate again.

6.3.2

28-Aug-2018

• iPad: Drag-and-drop works again on iOS 11 (a thumbnail is no longer created by the OS)

6.3.0

24-Jul-2018

• We've changed the company name from IntuiLab to Intuiface. Yes, the whole company's name has changed. Our guess is some of you thought our name already was Intuiface with so there won't be much of an adjustment period. However, you may get a kick out of our new logo. What's the logo's most distinguishing characteristic? It says Intuiface!
