Storyboard Designer

The Storyboard Suite 5.1 release includes new features, stability and performance enhancements. Storyboard 5.1 will automatically convert Storyboard 4.x and earlier workspaces and project files. Once converted to Storyboard 5.1 format, Storyboard projects are no longer compatible with Storyboard 4 and earlier projects.

Changes

Eclipse

Storyboard Designer is now based on the Eclipse Framework NEON 4.6

x64

Storyboard Designer has been switched from a 32 bit application to 64 bit on all hosted platforms.

Cloning

When cloning an object, we now check to see if a control with the new name already exists.

Keyboard Shortcuts to Group and Ungroup

Added concept of grouping and un-grouping through a new action bound to Control/Command + G and Control/Command + SHIFT + G.

SCP

The SCP command execution now has the ability to write output to the console.

Lua Debugger

Designer now queries the Lua debug port number in use and passes it into the runtime.

Known Issues

Linux x64 Installer

Users of 32 bit Linux will need to download 64 bit libraries to run the installer.

Require Mac OS X 10.8 or greater

Storyboard Designer requires Mac OS X 10.8 or greater due to the requirement by the Java 8 runtime from Oracle.

Resource Cleanup tool

Images that are not referenced directly, but are pulled in at runtime-based on a Lua script action, will not be identified as used by the Resource Cleanup wizard and may be removed accidentally.
