7.7.0 Bixby Developer Studio Release Notes

Updated: Nov 7, 2019

Welcome to v7.7.0, the 19V release of Bixby Developer Studio. This release introduces the new Warnings & Errors panel and the Aligned NL syntax highlighter in the Simulator. We've also changed the default and minimum sizes of all windows, and made some updates to the way we handle file changes.

Warnings & Errors Updates

We moved the Warnings & Errors tab to the bottom panel. It provides a better reading experience and extra features, such as filtering. We are also showing stage-1 and stage-2 deprecations in the sidebar, status bar, and the Warnings & Errors panel.

Aligned NL Syntax Highlighting in the Simulator

We've added syntax highlighting to Aligned NL in the Simulator. Different node types are now colored differently. The Aligned NL editor will also show node suggestions as you type.

Size of the Simulator and Debug Console Windows

We noticed that the default sizes of all windows were too small, and users usually resize them immediately after opening. We've changed the default size of these windows so that they are more easily viewable. In addition, we've made the minimum sizes of these windows a little bigger, so that all of their functionality is visible.

7.6.0 Bixby Developer Studio Release Notes

Updated: Oct 31, 2019

Welcome to v7.6.0, the 19U release of Bixby Developer Studio. This release includes the new Bixby Templates feature and a few bug fixes.

Features & Enhancements

Bixby Templates

The new Bixby Templates feature makes capsule creation even easier. There are a number of templates to choose from, and creating a capsule this way provides you with a working capsule, with all the required files, which you can quickly improve upon.

Support for Additional Device Types

The Simulator now supports additional device types that you can target in your capsule.bxb file under targets. The new device types are bixby-fridge, bixby-tv, and bixby-watch. These device types are testable within Bixby Studio, but are not yet supported in the Marketplace. Read more about Simulating Other Devices in the Simulator.

Support for Legal Files

Bixby Studio now supports the addition of a top-level legal.bxb file for each capsule that provides country-specific legal agreements.

7.6.0 Bug Fixes

• [IDE-6343] Fixed a problem where Simulator sometimes did not show every part of the dialog
• [IDE-6487] Made Simulator start more cleanly when invoked from a submission revision ID

When you press the add (+) button, the Simulator opens, and the Simulator executes Story steps up to that point. The Simulator goes into Story Mode, awaiting further additions.

After you add steps in the Simulator, click the Save button to save the steps. Control then goes back to the Story window, where you see the newly added steps.
