Introduction

Welcome to the 1.1 release of Crank Software's Storyboard Suite. We are very proud of this release as it continues to add features, improve performance and make life easier for those developing user interfaces for embedded systems. The main focus of this release is to grow the Runtime platform support for our Storyboard Engine, however this doesn't mean that Storyboard Designer hasn't seen it's own improvements. As you read through these release notes you'll find a great balance of new features, improved functionality and greater support for more embedded targets and development platforms.
